Hey I need help. When I turn my pc on it will boot up my fans will turn on, my video card will light up and it will sound like it’s running normally but my monitor will remain black. When I restart it it will sometimes work but only rarely most of the time my monitor remains blank. Any idea of what the problem is or ways to troubleshoot?

Hi Logan, welcome to the forums!

Please post your entire system spec including PSU make and model.
It would be better to have a more detailed description as to the problem you are having for example:

  • Is this an old build that has worked normally and now suddenly not? Or a new build?
  • What is your full system spec?
  • Do you have any beep codes or DEBUG lights appear on the motherboard if it has any?
  • Has the problem started after you made a particular change or installed something new (software or hardware)?
  • Have you taken any steps yourself to try and diagnose it?
  • Does it post but you simply get no display? or does it not POST at all?
