Hi @moosgeudeke,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

I understand that you are having issues with the black screen.

If your computer suddenly fails to boot properly, perform a hard reset (power reset).

For detailed instructions on resetting your computer, see HP PCs - How to Power Reset Your Computer.

• Turn off the computer.
• Disconnect the AC adapter.
• Remove any discs from the disc drive.
• Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.
• Disconnect all nonessential peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.
• With the AC adapter unplugged, press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.
• Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.

Note: If an error message is displayed, see Troubleshooting Error Messages on a Black Screen During Startup or Boot.

Otherwise, continue with the troubleshooting procedures in this document.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
