Black startup no bio

[kurokon]

i was downloading a game on steam and i went to watch a video while i wait. then my computer suddenly said i crashed and that it will restart after 100%, there were a error message but i didn't pay too much attention to it just remembered it had the word driver in it i think. after it restarted it just stayed on a black screen for along time so i restarted with the power button, and now every time i boot it just send me to a black screen no bio no nothing.

i5 4690k

cooler master hyper 212 evo

by the way i built this computer like 1.5 months ago.

tried to switch the gpu with another gpu from another computer and booted both computers on different monitors, same result black screen

Always pay attention to error messages, even if they don't make sense to you. If you can, make some documentation of them (your phone's camera works really well for this)

Did the other system boot normally with the GPU swap?

 

Try taking the C drive out of the faulty computer, inserting it into the one that (i'm assuming) works (the one you got the other GPU out of), and see if it will boot.

i wouldn't say it boots normally since the computer i swapped the gpu with doesn't really work well with amd cards if i don't disable a few things

as for the boot drive you suggested i use a old 2006 off the store shelf computer(which is working) and it will not boot. it shows the window 8 logo, say it can't boot(or that what i assume it says since the message disappears too fast for me to read it) and then it says it will repair and then it loops.

That happens because of the hard drive not having any drivers for the motherboard and such, or at least that's what was happening to me when trying to move my old hard drive to my new computer. Have you tried resetting the CMOS?

Can you get into your UEFI? On a Win8 system the UEFI should control boot priority, but it is really awful about checking properly if the bootmgr is availble. Also a black screen can be caused by a RAM failure, best way to check that is also from the UEFI and run a diagnostic, the dignostic options change from UEFI to UEFI based on manufacturer.

 

Also there is a problem in Win8 that can corrupt its boot setting, causing a black screen after the Windows 8 logo. This can be fixed by allowing the system to boot cycle three times until Windows 8 pulls up the system dignostics, at that point select advanced options, and choose "refresh my operating system without deleting my files". That should knock loose any program/driver compatibiliy settings that may be messing with startup.

on my computer all i get is a black screen and nothing else so uefi and bio doesn't work, or more like i can't see if it works or not. i try cmos on my computer and see if it does anything.

the heck 0.e i replug everything just now but on dvi-d and everything works again. this is worst then trying to program on C++

Video driver took a dump. Unistall it and reinstall, if the issue happens again on other inputs, rollback the driver to a previous version and you should be good.
