Hi

 

So you have 2 PC's

 

1 works and is not a problem, it's A

 

The other has a black screen, call it B

 

So A works with both Hard Drives?

 

B works with which hard drives?

HP Recommended

Hi

 

So you have a fault in the connector and/or main Board I guess.

 

Try B with a USB flash drive, and no HDD fitted, and Lubuntu instead of Winows.
