  1. Screen goes blank, followed by disk activity.


    Something odd is happening with my system, and I'm trying to determine if it's a software or hardware issue.


    It seems that every so often, at random as far as I can tell, my screens will go blank, and I'll see a lot of disk activity. It will churn away like this for quite a while; I'm not unsure if it will eventually close down or revive itself, as I haven't waited, I've simply shut it off and restarted.


    The logs show nothing unusual, except for multiple 0xC0000188. Unfortunately, I've found nothing useful by searching on that term.


    Any help you can give would be most appreciated.



    Regards,

    Screen goes blank after changing BIOS settings/

    I don't know how long this has been happening, a few weeks at least, but whenever I change a setting in my BIOS (and save & exit), my screen goes blank and my monitor goes into standby. Any suggestions to fix this?

    Screen goes blank??Nothing Appears..

    try with a game, or activity that normally causes the blank screen.

    make sure you tick the box to update while GPU-Z is in the background

    Screen goes blank, followed by disk activity.

    PC screen goes blank when attempting to enter UEFI/BIOS

    I am following the steps below to get into BIOS, but when I click restart at the end, my pc restarts, but never enters BIOS. It shows the pc make (Asus) and then goes to a blank screen.

    I try hitting f2 or delete in this blank screen after a while, bit this resolves nothing.

    Is there something else I should be doing or something I should do once the screen is blank?

    Navigate to settings. ...

    Select Update & security.

    Select Recovery from the left menu.

    Click Restart Now under Advanced startup. ...

    Click Troubleshoot.

    Click Advanced options.

    Select UEFI Firmware Settings.

    Click Restart.
