@erdikaraoglu, Welcome to the HP Support Community – it’s great to have you here!
I appreciate you taking the time to share your question. I'm more than happy to assist with this and provide a solution that works for you.
I understand you're facing a black screen issue after the HP logo appears on your Victus by HP 16.1" Gaming Laptop PC 16-s1000, running Windows 11. Let's walk through some steps to help resolve this.
Perform a Hard Reset
This helps clear temporary hardware glitches.
- Power off the laptop completely.
- Disconnect all external devices (USB drives, printers, etc.).
- Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
- Reconnect only the power adapter and turn the laptop back on.
Boot into Safe Mode
If the screen remains black after the logo, try booting into Safe Mode:
- Turn off the laptop.
- Turn it on and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly until the Recovery screen appears.
- If successful, go to:
- Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart
- Press 4 or F4 to boot into Safe Mode
If Safe Mode works, the issue may be related to display drivers or startup apps.
Update or Roll Back Graphics Drivers
In Safe Mode:
- Press Win + X > Device Manager
- Expand Display adapters
- Right-click your GPU (e.g., NVIDIA or AMD) > Properties
- Go to Driver tab:
- Try Roll Back Driver if available
- Or choose Update Driver > Search automatically
Disable Fast Startup
Sometimes Fast Startup causes boot issues.
- Open Control Panel > Power Options
- Click Choose what the power buttons do
- Click Change settings that are currently unavailable
- Uncheck Turn on fast startup
- Save changes and restart
Perform System Restore
If the issue started recently:
- Boot into Recovery (F11)
- Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System Restore
- Choose a restore point before the issue began
BIOS Update (if accessible)
If you can access BIOS (press F10 at startup), check the version and update if needed:
- Visit: Official HP® Support
- Download the latest BIOS and install via USB if necessary
HP PCs - Computer starts but the screen remains blank (Windows 11, 10) | HP® Support
