Hi @Notkuber,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP Pavilion 14-inch laptop might be experiencing hardware or software issues. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the black screen problem.
Perform a Hard Reset
- Turn off the laptop.
- Disconnect all external devices (e.g., USB drives, external monitors).
- Unplug the power adapter and remove the battery if it's removable.
- Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
- Reconnect the power adapter (and battery, if removed) and try turning the laptop on.
Check Display Connections
- If you’re comfortable doing so, open up the laptop and ensure that the display cable is securely connected to the motherboard.
- Sometimes, a loose connection can cause display issues.
Test with an External Monitor
- Connect your laptop to an external monitor or TV using HDMI or another connection type.
- If the external monitor displays correctly, the issue might be with your laptop’s internal display or graphics hardware.
Boot in Safe Mode
- Turn off the laptop.
- Turn it on and immediately start pressing the F8 key (or Shift + F8 for some models) to access the Advanced Boot Options menu.
- Select Safe Mode and see if the laptop boots normally. If it does, there might be a driver or software conflict causing the issue.
Update or Roll Back Drivers
- If you can boot into Safe Mode or using an external monitor, update your graphics drivers.
- You can also try rolling back to a previous version of the driver if you suspect an update caused the issue.
Check for Overheating
- Ensure that the laptop’s cooling system (fans, vents) is not clogged with dust.
- Overheating can sometimes cause the system to shut down or behave erratically.
Reseat RAM Modules
- Power off the laptop and disconnect all power sources.
- Open the laptop and carefully reseat the RAM modules to ensure they are properly connected.

Run Hardware Diagnostics
- HP laptops often come with built-in diagnostics tools. You can access these by pressing Esc or F2 during startup to enter the diagnostics menu. Run a full hardware test to check for issues.
Check for BIOS Updates
- Sometimes a BIOS update can resolve issues. Check HP’s support website for any updates for your specific model.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
