Windows 10 Black Screen After Mothboard/CPU Swap

I built a new PC last year and installed Windows 8.1, which I later upgraded to Windows 10. Both my motherboard and CPU recently failed, so I RMA'ed those components. Now when I boot my pc, I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left.

JB

 

Windows 10 Black Screen After Mothboard/CPU Swap

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I will be glad to assist you with the issue you are experiencing with the computer. I understand the difficulty when things won’t work the way they should.

This issue could occur due to incompatible, outdated or corrupted device drivers. You can also check if detaching all other peripheral devices except for keyboard and mouse works out the issue. The issue (black screen) you’re
facing could be most likely related to display drivers and could be resolved by updating the drivers. Without the correct driver, the hardware or device that you want to use won't work properly.



I would suggest you to refer to the suggestion by Sharath Srinivatava from the following link and check.
