Blank screen after turning PC on

[wjwren]

I turn my windows 10 machine on andthe bios screen appears, then the windows logo, then it goes black. I had this a while ago when it would do this then ud turn the machine off and on again and it was fine.
Any ideas please?

Off the top of my head in no particular order: GPU drivers failing to load properly, boot drive not responding, GPU failing when required to do more "work" as different mode required for WIN 10 (could be drivers again, could be failing GPU could be failing PSU). Hard drive failing at critical stage, Win 10 update messed up, memory problems.
Some things to try first: https://www.howtogeek.com/425382/how-to-fix-a-blac...

And try a different connection from monitor to GPU.

Daft as it sounds if you move the mouse do you see a cursor

I had a Dell that was a bit like that sometimes, believe it or not it was about the battery - which was removeable.
Took it out.
Started up fine on mains.
Put it back in and it worked fine on battery from then on.

Weird.

I've had it on my laptop too. I paid some computer guy £65 and all he did to fix it was to remove the battery unit and replace it..all fine. Seemed it had gone in to sleep mode and needed a kick start to wake up.
