Computer Powers on but screen is black

[colemilne54]

3 days ago I went into my UEFI to choose to boot off of my USB so i could do a live persistent install of Kali Linux on my USB. I received an error message after I chose to boot from my USB so I chose to just boot my computer up from my normal HDD. Upon doing this I would get a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED blue screen then the computer would shut down and boot up with another blue screen. It would just cycle between these 2 so I decided to shut my computer off by doing a cold restart (held power button for 5 seconds). When I booted it up again it turned on but my screens were black. I have attempted to clear CMOS 8 times and nothing has helped. I have tried one stick of ram, no gpu, no HDDS nothing has worked so far.

Can you boot from a usb to Kali or Ubuntu?

Sounds like your windows installation got messed up.

 

[colemilne54]

nope because I am getting nothing on the screen

Have you cleared your UEFI settings?

Have you cleared your UEFI settings?

Is that the same as clearing CMOS? If so, then yes.

should be an option in bios to load defaults try that

One of these things will come very handy if you can get one. It should at least give you a boot error code and see what's the problem

Only have one cpu sadly. This morning I got it to boot and got input to my monitor when I took it out of the case, plugged in my HDD booted again didn't work, booted without HDD again now it doesn't work still so I still have no clue what is wrong.
