Monitor blank but computer is powered on

I tried booting into safe mode per recommendation of a previous poster here to try and determine if this is a hardware or software problem and in safe mode I didn't seem to have the problem.
Just today I was uninstalling some software that I know has some hardware dependencies (because why not) and after removing NZXT's CAM Software and restarting once I didn't seem to have this problem for at least two boot attempts (haven't had to reboot since).
I will contact NVIDIA as you mentioned if I see this shit happen again as I re-boot the system from normal use.
I'm honestly surprised that it seems CAM was causing this problem, although I can't really say anything conclusive for right now.
Sorry for late reply.
It wouldnt surprize me that it could be that, i had just recently downloaded the latest driver and it blacked out my second monitor thats powered by a 630 GPU, i noticed that the NVidia software wasnt reconizing my gpu, so after about 10mins of troubleshooting i decided to contact NVidia support live chat. It turns out that the driver update is having issues and they told me to wait for the next update to come and dont use this latest drivers.
So ya, as it turns out that i feel downloading their drivers is like gambling, when you download the latest driver its either going to work or its not. i have never ever needed to contact support from win2000 to win7, but since running win10 i have needed to contact NVidia about roughly 6-8 times just for random dum shit.
I think NVidia doesnt truely care about quality anymore and because they are a massive corporation now they dont care for their customers, which is why i dont spend more then roughly 20mins troubleshooting things anymore i just contact them cause im sick and tired of the headaches.
