This. Also, have you tried clearing the CMOS to reset the BIOS settings?

You could also try reseating your RAM and graphics card, as a loose connection there can often cause a blank screen like that. Hope that helps.

Yeah, I had the same problem. For me, it turned out to be a bad HDMI cable, of all things.

Same here. Before checking cables, have you tried reseating your RAM? That's a common fix for a blank screen like this.

Yeah, after reseating the RAM, try booting with just one stick at a time to see if one is faulty.

Agreed. Also, try connecting to a different monitor or TV if you can, just to rule out a display issue.

This. Yeah, and if you have a desktop, try reseating your RAM sticks too. That's a super common fix for this. Hope that helps.

Agreed. Also, double-check that your monitor cable is firmly connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard, if you have a dedicated GPU. Good luck!

Can confirm. Yeah, that's a solid point. Also, try reseating your RAM sticks—they can sometimes come loose and cause a black screen like that.

Yeah, You could also try clearing the CMOS by removing the motherboard battery for a minute, as a corrupted BIOS setting can cause this.
