Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out!
Would you be so kind to tell me more about that booting issue?
First, what is the model of your PC and it's an operational system?
And then, let me know more about this issue.

I’m not that good with pc information so is it possible for me to send a link of the pc I have?

Last week I booted up my pc land everything was normal. The logo and everything popped up. But then the screened went black. The only visual I could see is top part of the screen and it’s so small that I can barely see it.

Ok

I was able to solved this by doing a hard factory reset but now it’s doing it again and I don’t really want to keep resetting it.

As you can see I can still highlight it by dragging my mouse at the top right but everything else is blacked out.

Do you have another display near you?
So, we can check it this problem occurs on it too.
Customer Reply
I do not have another monitor to display it. But I don’t believe it’s the monitor because I was able to use an hdmi cord to plug in my laptop and everything shows up fine on the monitor.
Christine Tomas

Ok, got it.
Your display cable is plugged into the HDMI port on the horizontal graphics card, correct?
Because there should also be at least one vertical there.
And the display should work only with the horizontal one.
Customer Reply
Sorry I had to check and yes it does has have a port plugged onto the graphics card.
Christine Tomas

No problem.
By the way, what troubleshooting have you done so far, except hard reset?
Customer Reply
I haven’t done much. I tried booting it in safe mode but the screen was still black and I was not able to do anything. I was able to go into bios but I didn’t know much and didn’t want to mess up the settings so I didn’t touch it. Other than that I just factory reset my pc and fixed it from there.
But now it’s happening again and I don’t know why.
Christine Tomas

Ok, in that case, let's open your Bios right now.
Let me know when you're there and send me a photo of your menu in this chat.
Customer Reply
Sorry this might take a hot minute. I have to try it multiple times to get it to work.

Could you please restart your computer?
Then after the Asus logo on the screen, restart it. You have to walk through these steps 3 times. Could you try, please
Customer Reply
I will try to attempt it.
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Keep me posted on how is it going, please.
Customer Reply
Okay so I restarted it 3 times but it still the same.

Do you have another HDMI to check?
Customer Reply
I will check.
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Okay, keep me posted please.
Customer Reply
Okay it works now. I guess the display port that I’m using is just bad.
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
So is it working now?
Customer Reply
Yes after replacing the display port with an hdmi cable it works fine now.
Christine Tomas
