Action 3: Remove third-party antivirus software
 
Sometimes third-party antivirus software causes black or blank screens. You can temporarily uninstall third-party antivirus software to determine if it's causing the screen issue, then reinstall it after your device is back up and running. Your device won't be unprotected because Windows Defender Antivirus kicks in if no other antivirus software is running. Get more info about Windows Security.

thank you for your information!

thank you for your info

thank you for your guide

This has been solved in various forums, just contributing my solutions to enough threads so mods can pick it up and add it to their troubleshooting steps for people.
 
A. Disable your RGB software that interacts with your videocard like armory crate videocard rgb, precision, corsair icue etc.
B. Separate your connected hardware on Different electrical outlet sockets <- important, even if it means running an extension cord to another room or changing your power plugs on different surge protector
C. Reset your windows power plan, update your windows 10 and update your motherboard bios.
 
 One of those solutions ^ will fix your problem as this is related to:
black screen
random signal loss
random display driver crashing
display turns off and on
game crashing
Event ID 14 "nvlddmkm"

same problem
 

I personally had the computer start up, show the spinner loader for a tiny bit, and then just black screen.

Just reinstall OS works best
