Windows 11 update causes a black screen issue.
Windows 11 update causes a black screen issue.
I recently switched from Windows 10 to Windows 11 by turning on TPM 2.0 in my MST BIOS. The system reset and installed Windows 11 without problems. I then started updating, after downloading and restarting the PC it kept looping indefinitely. After roughly half an hour I forced shut it down and restarted again, but it still showed a black screen. I tried shutting it down three times each time it froze, and after unplugging the monitor and reattaching it, removing all USB devices, nothing resolved the issue. The PC was functioning perfectly before. What should I do?
Specs: Ryzen 5 5600X 240 GB SSD (Windows), 1 TB SSD, 1 TB HDD, 16 GB RAM, MSI Tomahawk B550 GTX 1060.
I checked the internal components. It looks like the VGA is red, and when I saw the first black screen, I used Ctrl + Shift + Windows + B. I suspect that might not be causing the issue. I have an old GT240 and a questionable GTX560 nearby.
The seat adjustment failed, inserted the 560, but the same problem occurred—VGA light activated.
Assuming this number functions as expected, we’ve identified a potential clue. Have you attempted to reset the CMOS or tested the GPU in the alternate port?
