Screen turns black intermittently during login.
Screen turns black intermittently during login.
Try to identify the issue by checking what happens when you enter your password and press Enter. The screen should stay black except for the cursor, but it remains unresponsive. You can bypass the lock screen using Ctrl+Alt+Del or similar shortcuts, yet the login still fails. The problem seems consistent across different accounts, except for the current one. After a reboot in safe mode, it worked, so the issue might be related to background processes or driver conflicts. Consider checking for updates, running a system scan, and ensuring no conflicting software is interfering.
NVidia drivers sometimes cause issues, but not because they're outdated—they were recently updated. The issue might lie with older NVidia drivers still present in your system. Use DriverStore Explorer (RAPR) to delete all old NVidia drivers; the "Select Old Drives" option can be useful. I once experienced a black screen similar to what you mentioned, but I can't recreate it now, and I don’t recall using that program before or after.
