Well I had to stop hibernating my computer, because of problems. I recommend a shutdown. I one time had the problem of black screen at boot up. I asked the computer gurus, and suggested something came loose.

Only 1 black screen a couple days ago , fingers crossed   

Just had a Windows update and had to restart. It fired right up without any problems.

For the first time last night working on a Dream , I got the BLACK Screen

no mouse no keyboard , had to power off with power button.

SED, you did this to me ....   

Now at Boot and after log in , My Gosh !!

Only 1 each the past week so that's a plus !!!

Happened to me seconds after I SAVED a photoshop (just in time) My photoshop crashes by itself sometimes and I learned to save work as I go (CS5 before you ask)

Yea, I learned a long time ago save as you work this dream stuff was saved

didn't lose anything and I also do 2 external back ups incase 1 external were to go down

which has happened.

I was just converting a video from one format to another when I got the black screen .

can't say i've ever had the screen going black from just doing stuff. the few occasional times it happened (been a while since i last had one) was exiting fullscreen (1080p) game to 4k desktop (or alt tab). something to do with tdr..

My screen went black but was able to power off pushing the power off button which

means it had power so not the power cord.

My screen went black then jumped around looking for DCI or HTMl then went completely black ... Hasn't happened since I shut down now at night

I shut down my PC everytime i'm done using it so I might 2 to 4 boots a day and night .

I had another black screen while video editing again late last night , so I reinstalled the 

2 editing programs i was using incase that was the problem since then no black screens 

while on the desktop but this morning when booting up again got 2 black screens till 

the 3rd time it booted to the desktop ..

So I don't know what the problem still is .

You got it worse than me -- I thought it was my Vid card

Still could be!!

Has to be something to do with windows.

I AGREE

I wonder if the people experiencing this issue got an iffy installation due to a bad download or disc, and whether a reformat and clean install would resolve it?

I've not experienced it myself, but I do feel for those who have, given my own issues with Updates and etc.

My PC is a New 4 months with  Windows loaded then updated

and my programs added  these black screens started in the last 2 weeks .

Well I don't know, then.  It's the strangest thing, that only a few have the issue, and then possibly for different reasons/causes.  Is there anything on the MS data base regarding these black screens?  Or it may be worth checking Tom's Hardware for answers, and if there are none pertinent to the issues here, then maybe it would be worth opening a new case.

Wasn't looking for it but I came across a YouTube video that deals with black screen on login. I haven't tried anything but if you guys want to. My computer stays on all the time. I only reboot when there's a Windows or a program update.

The date on this is May 2018 so it's not something that just started.

.

  I have been running a program at boot that by passes the lock screen so

I will turn that off , Turn off windows password log on and just boot right

to desktop and see if that works with no black screen.

@ ALMONTY

Mike is having log on black screen probs -- mine just goes black as I'm working NO MOUSE

Since I have been shutting down at nite I have not had the issue (fingers crossed)

Sed I know your having problems with programs making your system go black. If I see anything I’ll report it.

Enjoy your Windows-based machines.  

Not everybody using Windows is having this problem... and I'm sure Apple's OS-X and other OSes have issues as well.

Not everyone no, I agree. Does Apple have issues? Well of course. Is it like Windows? Well no I think not. Not even close. And you of all people know this. But yet you defend Windows with my post and bitch about it all throughout the forums. 

You can't argue with that reply, you know I am right.  

Um, I was NOT defending Windows .... not by a long stretch of the imagination.  I merely stated that not everyone is having this issue with Windows 10.   I'm not, but that doesn't mean that I like Win 10.  It has given me other issues and has frustrated the heck out of me... especially at monthly updates time.

So no, I'm no MS fanboi.  Nor am I a fan of Apple.  Apple, too, has done stuff I don't like.  Sure, I have my MacMini and enjoy using it, but I won't update the OS from the one it came with because afterwards, Apple, in its 'wisdom', began removing various programs and features and took away users ability to customise the UI.

As for bitching about Windows 10, well that's my prerogative after having it forced down my throat when I was more than happy with my Win 8.1 setup.
