Black screen on startup

[jam1234]

Hi guys,

 

I have a little issue with my PC. Sometimes when I turn on my PC all the fans and stuff turn on and nothing happens on the screen. Then I to hold down the power button and restart it.

 

I know this is a really small issue but I was wondering if you guys have any idea of what might be causing it. My PC parts are in my signature.

I've asked for this post to be moved to Troubleshooting.

 

I've experienced this problem and don't really know what causes it.

From no real experience:

 

1) Make sure that all the front panel connectors are wired up correctly.

2) Try resetting your BIOS.

I noticed your using an unlocked processor and a board that supports OCing. Did you do any OCing recently? Sometimes, OC's that are stable at one point, can be unstable at another point in time when ambient temps change. I would go through the general steps for hardware diagnosis (removing sticks of memory, reseating componants, etc). If all else fails, clear the CMOS and see if that fixes it.

Haven't done any overclocking. It doesn't happen all the time so I doubt it is component failure.
