Hardware failure is the most common cause of a booting error and one that can be difficult to diagnose. For a successful boot, your computer needs its motherboard, memory chips, and hard drive. You could be staring at a black screen if any of these components become loose, fail, or are damaged by overheating or short circuits. Turn off the computer and ask a technician to check for any loose or damaged components. Replace any parts that show signs of corrosion or damage. Your hard drive might have failed if everything is in working order. Talk to a computer technician about data recovery or repair options.
