Windows black screen

[Nerd_Bytes]

Hello, about a half hour ago i was playing some games and got up to grab a snack, when i came back to my computer the screens were black but still could hear hear my music. I tried messing with the connections of the monitors but nothing helped. I restarted the pc and i would get to the point of almost being in windows then my screens would go black and my keyboard and mouse would go off. When i would get in automatic repair i would see a flickering green line for a second. It would be great if someone could please help me. Thanks, Nerd

I had very similar issues very recently. I found out that my board could no longer run my ram at a higher frequency than the board natively supported. I lowered it and my problems were gone. The issues were that 90% of my drivers were crashing non-stop when running the frequency to high.
Example; my board supports up to 3300 MHz but natively only 1600 MHz. My RAM goes up to 3200, which was where I had it at. Everything above 1600 MHz on MY board is considered an "overclock".

This happened out of the blue for me.

So that is my best suggestion; lower the the ram frequency in BIOS.

Hm. Might be your graphics card then. Do you see BIOS post screen when booting the machine?
Maybe try re-seating the card. If that does't help, do you have a friend or family member that can test the card in their machine?

Might be the card. Try with the i7's iGPU. (Plug the display cable into the board, and take the GPU out.)

Mobo disables igpu can't work around it
