Why is my HP Laptop showing black screen

Common culprits include background apps, driver issues, and heat. The free scan ranks the likely causes on your device.

Is the scan safe for my files

Yes. It reads performance signals only and does not access or delete personal files.

Disable heavy startup apps, update GPU and chipset drivers, and clean temp files. Then run the scan to validate improvements.

Usually no. If temperatures or memory use stay high at idle, consider re paste or adding RAM.

Most steps take 5 to 10 minutes. The scan usually completes within a few minutes.

Keep drivers updated, limit startup items, clean dust, and schedule periodic scans.

Start with easy steps, then use the scan for deeper checks like drivers, startup load, temperature, and disk health.

Display turns black during use or right after login, sometimes cursor shows, often after driver or OS update

hard power reset; update or roll back display driver; disable Fast Startup; check external monitor

Hold power 10 seconds to reset, reinstall GPU driver using vendor package, toggle Fast Startup off, test with HDMI to confirm panel vs GPU issue

Keep display drivers current and avoid forced shutdowns during updates
