Could it be that the computer went into hibernation because of inactivity and when you turn is back on it tries to "wake up" and fails?
Or you did a shutdown properly when turning it off?

From that movie...
What will you do now? WHAT will you dooooo?

Nice! I was going to say it's a hardware issue since there was no display at all. ;)

Hmm, first time caller here, perhaps my issue is hardware related too. I've been getting a gray screen on startup sometimes. I'll do a shutdown and then restart, laptop then displays a couple of error messages and then starts & runs normally.

Solved! Took apart the PC, removed some dust, unplugged and plugged back in some cords, and it works again!

I get nothing, just the blackscreen.

I just have the one monitor and videocard output.

I know my monitor works as it works with another PC.

Thank you.

Just to be sure... do you get ANYTHING before the blackscreen?
If so, what's the last thing you see beforehand.

Also, do you have multiple monitors and/or videocard outputs?

Hello,

I installed Linux Lite 5.0 the other day and now I am I getting a black screen when trying to turn on my computer.

I was using Google Maps on Firefox and the computer froze up. I manually shut it down, and now I am getting the black screen.

I have tried hitting esc key and holding down the right shift key right after I turn it on and can't get anything to show up.

Any suggestions?
