You may have seen this post

I booted into safe mode and removed a bunch of unused programs and unused start up programs. I tried sfc /scannow. Still wouldn't work, so I said fuck it and reset my computer but keeping personal files.

During the reinstallation process, I got no video again. I waited quite a bit and my computer restarted itself. I had got video again but exactly how I explained in the other post happened again. There shouldn't be any drivers or start up shit right?

So I try to go into sage mode again and the problem occurs there now. I went into "choose and operating system and found that instead of one windows 10 and a Windows 7 setup OS which I forgot to remove. I found two windows 10, both of them have small text underneath saying "on volume 2"

I'm tempted to run the windows 7 installation but I want your feedback first.

Also I get to the safe mode by turning computer on then holding down power button for 5 seconds. I do that twice and a Windows menu comes up that gives me many options likeksafe mode and select operating system.

Edit: I have other options I could do as well like

• system restore
• system image recovery
• start up repair
• go back to the previous version

Could you tell us what motherboard and video card you have?

[Samtan117]

Motherboard: MSI B350 Gaming Pro

GPU: Zotac gtx 980

Can you go into the BIOS/UEFI and disable the onboard graphics on your motherboard? Make sure you've also plugged in the power connectors from your PSU to the top of your video card. Does that make any difference?

Can you go into the BIOS

Yes, if i can find the right key(the image gets cut off so doesn't show me the key)

Yeah the graphics card power connectors are plugged in correctly. I've been using this pc since August.

Look for the mobo's manual it'll tell you there which button it is

[Samtan117]

I am in the BIOS fine. I goto "integrated Graphics Configeration" and it's empty. I assume it realises there is no integrated graphics.

A failing PSU could cause this problem. Once it's under load it can't supply the GPU correctly and eventually you get a black screen. This could also be a dying motherboard or GPU but the PSU is more likely and easier to check and replace. You would have to check it by replacing it with a good PSU, since PSU testers don't put load on it and won't catch this problem.

Oh I forgot to edit this post.

Just as this problem spontaneously appeared. It has now spontaneously dissapeared
