I recently upgraded my PC by installing a new SSD, but now my monitor won't display anything other than a black screen. I've plugged everything back in, but it's still not working. Does anyone have any tips or advice on what might be going wrong?

First, check if your monitor is actually powering on. Do you see the initial splash screen when the PC starts? If you can, try accessing the BIOS. It could be something as simple as the refresh rates getting messed up. If you have a second monitor, plug that in to see if the issue persists.

If your monitor shows the logo but you can't access BIOS, there may be a connection issue. Double-check that the cables are securely connected. Also, if your keyboard isnโ€™t responding, it could indicate a deeper problem with your setup.
