Hey my computer was working fine when I got off last night and now when I try to turn it on, it shows the bios startup but won’t go to windows. Just a black screen. Anybody know some troubleshooting I could do?

That isn’t the full video but I didn’t want to make it too long

do you end up on a black screen with a mouse pointer?

It's a long shot but you could try some special shortcut keys...

Alt+F4
Tries to exit the current window.

Win+Ctrl+Shift+L
Tries to reset the lock screen.

Win+Ctrl+Shift+B
Tries to reset when you're stuck at a black screen.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete
As usual.

hmm... there's not a ton of great options. you could try to trigger automatic repair by interrupting startup 3x (killing power during boot) but that's not super good for it either. Best option is probably to prepare a USB on a working computer then boot from that and try running some repairs

There's a few things you can try like DSIM or SFC, or also things like CHKDSK.

If it totally all else fails you could reinstall the OS but hopefully it doesn't come to that
