There are several possible reasons why your computer has a black screen and won't boot. Most of the time, it is related to a corrupted Windows Operating System which needs reinstallation. These are the possible causes of your black screen computer problem.
1. Loose monitor connection
2. Failed display adapter or video card
3. Random Access Memory failure
4. Driver software conflict or incompatibility
5. Corrupted Windows boot files
To address this problem, you need to perform troubleshooting which requires careful step by step instructions. I have provided links below for you to follow and try the solutions stated.
