Windows 10: Black screen with typing cursor in top left on startup

Hello, I've had this computer for a few years and recently it's taken 5-10 attempts to start it up and all the times it failed it had a typing cursor and a black screen and nothing works on the black screen I can't even access bios but now it just doesn't startup at all no matter how many tries and I've tried everything I used a usb to install windows 10

Black Screen on startup

In case the above steps do not fix the black screen perform the following steps:
1) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste
2 )sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) chkdsk /scan
5) net user test /add
6) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
7) shutdown /r
8) sign on with the new user named test
9) report into the thread whether the new user does or does not have a black screen problem.

10) If the black screen occurs with both users reboot the computer into safe mode:

11) report into the thread whether the black screens occur or do not occur in safe mode

12) run this version of the log collector and post a zip into the thread:

Black Screen with Cursor at startup

2nd time poster, 1st time...."new threader".

I kind of jumped into another black screen thread with this and it was suggested (rightly) that I start a new one. I'll just copy/paste what I posted there. I'm kind of a computer semi-literate, so forgive any dumb questions I might have--

"I'm having this startup, black screen with cursor nightmare too--hangs on Black screen at startup for an hour before it goes to the sign on screen. Been Googling and watching youtube "fix" vids like a maniac for 3 days now (a lot of Windows 10 hatred out there).

On one of the vids, the "tech guy" who did the vid wrote that if you can see ANYTHING (his emphasis) on your screen when it hangs, it's not a hard drive problem. Is this true?? I don't want to bring it into Best Buy (if I can't resolve this) and pay 150 bucks for a diagnostic just to be told my hard drive's fried and I need a new computer.

When my computer's running, it works fine. I've been leaving it on 24/7 and using Sleep Mode when I'm not using it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks."
