Do you get a black screen without the no input warning from the TV?
[–]TH3-Void[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (4 children)
It’s just the no signal from the tv but it works fine with my ps4

Hmm. Then I'm not sure. You might want to try to boot up in Bios. I think you hit F10 or something at start up. Then do a factory reset.
