Black Screen

[Greasy Pepperoni]

Hey guys, a few days ago I booted my PC (notebook) and the screen had a lot of flickering and tearing. So I installed the newest NVidia driver update and it seemed to fix the problem. Today when I was playing some CS, I punched the table (as you do) and the screen went black, but I was still ingame and talking in Discord. So I did a force shutdown and when I booted back up, the flickering was back. I started up CS again and joined my game, after a short period of time I punched the table again and the screen went black. This time when I rebooted it did't even show the boot logo, but I still automatically connected to Discord and could talk with my mates, which means I was in Windows. Needles to say the screen didn't turn on and stayed black. I have a suspicion that the data cable might have disconnected itself due to my punches. I appreciate all kinds of suggestions.

rip it apart and check for loose wiring/cables. be a good time to clean up the dust wads too....... and maybe pull the heat sinks and reapply new thermal paste.

Will do, are there guides on how to do this exactly?

you'll have to hunt down the pdf from the manufacturer. it should be full of diagrams.
