I was just playing a game and my screen turned black so I thought it must off turned off so I went to turn it back on but it was already on so i tried to fix it by restarting my pc and I did but when it was booting back up the screen turned red and fuzzy. I don’t know what to do I have taken my graphics card out, my hard drives out and unplugged and replugged everything and it is still not working. Please someone help.

 

-thanks

if ur screen randomly pops black, its either a black screen of death ( more critical then a blue screen ) or a driver crash / gpu crash

 

since u said u booted up with the screen turning red and fuzzy

 

my bet is on either gpu or ram ( ram can cause artifacts like this when dieing )

Are your usb ports working and fans spinning? Do you have different video cable or monitor to test if monitor is fine? Or plug monitor to different device?

The fans are working fine I will plug it into a different monitor now

I just tested it and I think my monitor is broken because I tried a tv and it worked fine

Ok. Thats good it means your pc is just fine.

Another test you can do to use different video cable on that monitor and see if maybe the cable is faulty.

No I tried a different hdmi and that didn’t work I will try a vga cable (if I can find one).

So unfortunately your monitor may be dead :/

Unless there is someone that is knowledgeable and could help you troubleshoot monitor further, who knows maybe the display itself is fine and it could be a simple fix. Or even monitor power supply might be faulty and needs replacement.

Hope I helped :D

I think it is the hdmi port that is broken I will buy a vga cable and see if it works.
