Ensure that your BIOS is updated. Someone else had this exact problem and doing so helped them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check your video cable connection. Then check your power connection to the graphic card to make sure its pushed all the way in. Black screen means something is cutting out of power. It can be the monitor, the cable to the monitor or the signal from the graphics card to the cable or the power to the graphics card. If you have on board video on the motherboard, you might switch to it and see if you still get cut outs on the monitor. Monitors that connect vertically rather than horizontally can be the source of the cutout, particularly if you were hasty in making the connection and didn't crank down on the hold down screws (hand tight only tho') If the lights never worked, then it sounds like the computer may have had a bumpy ride getting delivered and you need to make sure all cables are fully pushed into their sockets. If the computer is not shutting down, the problem is not power supply or data storage. Its somewhere in the line from Monitor to video card or video card power. Suggest you follow the line for the lighting system. That is strictly a plug into a power supply cable, usually the 4 prong plastic covered units often used for fans Could also be that too much stretching was done on the cables to reach their destination plug-in and now after some aging, one may getting short for the job. Your configuration might have also caught the shift change which is why the lights didn't work. Its usually the last thing they do. Lastly, monitors have a way of cutting out too, often preceded by intermittent performance before the final black out. Some monitors have plastic covered resistors which get hot or capacitors which get even hotter. If you leave your monitor on for extended periods, you are asking for trouble. I had a $550 monitor that died due to melting plastic components that got too hot. Never leave a monitor or a computer on if your not using it. Heat soak is worst than start up. Business based computers are designed for long shifts of use but not gaming computers which are designed to set your hair on fire. :)
