  1. Black screens, high fan, audio playing, help?


    I have a roughly 5-year-old custom-built PC that has worked fine until now. Here is the problem, starting a month ago, sometimes after extended use, regardless of what is running, all 3 of my screens turn black/have no signal, and my computer fans start running on high; audio from whatever was running at the time continues playing, so I know that my computer is not shutting down.Here are all the things I have done, dusted the PC, reapplied thermal paste for both the CPU AND GPU, used the Windows memory checker, updated and clean installed graphics drivers, did a full scan with Windows Defend

  2. Fan speed too high and receives black screen

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • What was the reason for you to perform a reset?
    • Does that mean you receive black screen on the desktop?
    First let us troubleshoot for the black screen issue and as an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to refer to the article provided below and check if that helps.

    Troubleshooting black or blank screens in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Once done with that, let’s check the cause for the fan speed.

    a. While on the desktop, right-click on the taskbar, click on
    Task Manager.

    b. Click on the Processes tab and check if any processes that is running high.

    If none of the process is running high then I suggest you to update the graphics card driver and check if it resolves the issue.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device
    Manager”.

    2. In the list of devices, you should see the Display Drivers.

    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    Black screen printing wingdings with high pitched tone.

    Hello,

    Black screen printing wingdings with high pitched tone can be due to outdated drivers. This can also be connected to hardware issue. For us to isolate and identify
    if this is a hardware or software issue, we suggest to perform the Windows Hardware Troubleshooter.

    To access the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” in the top left corner.
    • This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

    Let us know if that worked out for you.
