It will work just fine. You may see some screen tearing but honestly at 144hz I doubt you will notice it. I would say that regardless it will be a much superior experience than running on a 60hz display. 

Just overclock your laptop screen
 
If you have a 60hz you will prob be able to go around 75hz
 
If you have 75hz you might be able to go 90hz

It's probably be fine, you will see some screen tearing but that's probably it, and you can mitigate it by using v-sync or freesync

If the HDMI suppots the 144Hz you can connect a 144Hz monitor, it will run at 144Hz.
But Hz and FPS arent the same thing.
The 1050 is an older budget card, which will have lots of troubles pushing 144 frames ever second, even on just 1080p.
 

Yes, just go to nvidia control panel and change the refresh rate to 144 Hz.

If you have a hdmi connection, you can connect your fridge if it also has hdmi.
Check your ports, better question is, will your 1050 run much things at 144+ FPS.

Quite old is right. You card can't supply the framerate to match the refresh rate in most cases. It would probably be smooth while doing tasks on the OS itself but games...
I would not recommend buying a 144hz monitor in your case.

I think the HDMI port on it supports up to 120hz. But don't expect it to get such high frames, even in something simple like Minecraft.

No worries.
Hopefully that helps.
Just boot into safe mode and then on some drivers, start up programs and services that start with boot and hopefully it'll fix it.
Hopefully it's just a broken driver which you can uninstall and reinstall. You could also use windows repair if you have recovery media too.

Sounds like something during start up is crashing.
When you boot safe mode it only loads up certain things.
 
I would go through and turn off each program and driver that starts on start up and manually enable them one by one until you know which one is making the black screen.
 
Also you could just turn it on and leave it half hour and see if it recovers on it's own first.

I ordered 2 systems during Black Friday:
Ryzen 2600 & Asrock Steel Legend
Ryzen 2700 & MSI Gaming Pro Carbon
 
Those seemed like the best buys for me after watching reviews on Youtube and some forums, Ill post an update as soon as they arrive ^^

On budget side ASRock B450 Pro4 is available too, both it and the MSI Tomahawk share about same quality of VRMs to handle 3900 and 3950x stock but its usually cheaper then the MSI offerings and more widely available, depends on region etc.  These will easily take to overclocking with 3600-3800x let alone 2600 or 2700x. For $120ish but still cheap the MSI Pro Carbon is good too and decent upgrade from what i've heard over either of these. 

If you are near a MicroCenter they sell the M-ATX for ASRock Pro4s for 80$ (50$ with discount, when you buy CPU there as well), plus all are Updated for Ryzen 3000, you should be able to find most online retailers selling any of these with update as well but look for it before buying if it concerns you, even if not going straight to Ryzen 3000 its nice to have. 

Heres short version of roundup Buildzoid did recently (timestamped at end, so you dont have to watch all 40 minutes), he skips some stuff but decent watch if looking for higher quality stuff rather then just pure budget. 
 
 

It will handle a 2600 but personally, I really don't see any reason to go for the B450-F instead of the Tomahawk Max, unless you just really need two M.2 slots. I'm not trying to make you think that ASUS' boards are bad in general or anything but in this case, it's pretty much objectively a smarter choice to go with the Tomahawk, because while it might handle a 2600 now, if you decide to upgrade further down the line to an 8 core (3700X), 12 core (3900X) or whatever core count part when they become cheaper, problems will appear because of the poor VRM design of the ASUS board.

If you plan on pairing it with anything above a Ryzen 3600, then I would advise against the B450-F from ASUS as its VRM cooling is very poor and could cause reliability issues in the future, as you can see here. Instead, I would suggest a B450 Tomahawk Max from MSI.

What form factor? If you case supports ATX I'd recommend ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming

It's not a bad card per se but yeah it really depends on the pricing on your market... on mainstream places like USA if you can afford more than the GTX 1660 Ti you're usually better served with the RX5700 and RX5700XT so a vanilla RTX 2060 would only make sense if it costs less than the RX5700 Reference.
 
That is with gaming in mind.

Depends on the price and how much a 1660 Ti, 2060 Super and RX 5700 cost

Well in certain contries yes, but maybe not in others.

Arent the strix 580 overprice as all hell?

I would honestly bypass the 580 and just get a 590... they can be had for about the same price on newegg.

GET THE STRIX TOP OC FROM ASUS . ITS A TRIPLE FAN

Any RX580 8GB from Sapphire or the Asus Strix one.

The 8GB version

Used get the one from sapphire nitro or strix, you wil lget good low noise coolers.
 
The msi mech do more then 1500clock in oc. good cards.

The cheapest one you can find with a decent cooler slapped on.
