Black Screen after Bios Screen
Black Screen after Bios Screen
My computer shuts down to a black screen after the BIOS appears and disappears. The display displays an underscore for a moment before the screen turns completely black.
My build details
MoBo: 970a Sli Krait Edition
GPU: Asus r9 380x
CPU: AMD FX-6300
This issue happened unexpectedly one day
I'm going to ask the obvious... Is your display adapter connected? And is your GPU positioned correctly?
Yes, I can check my BIOS if needed. The GPU is also seated properly (otherwise I wouldn't be able to view the bios, right? I'm not very comfortable with computers).
You can start a PC in BIOS even without a GPU. Verify that your graphics card is properly installed on the motherboard and confirm the connection sounds the *click*. Ensure the GPU power connections are secure.

Maybe the issue isn't with your graphics. How many drives (SSD or HDD) are installed? Is your boot priority set to the drive that contains your Operating System?

I have a 120GB SSD with the OS and a 1TB HDD. I think it's in the correct sequence when checking in BIOS, even though I don't understand why it might change if I haven't touched it before.
If you just assembled the PC, your computer doesn't know the order unless the SATA cables were connected properly. Check your BIOS settings for BOOT priority—it's often listed first. Don't forget to save your changes and see if that resolves the problem.

I've had this machine for about nine months and everything was functioning properly. My SSD is recognized as the primary drive.
It's unusual. Are there any error messages shown on your motherboard during startup? Check your system while it boots up.
