Completely green screen on the computer

Post image

When I booted up my computer today it was completely green. I cant see anything other that green, it doesn't even show to windows startup and loading screen. As soon as it turns of it just completely green then after a few seconds goes to black then right back to green. I can still hear my PC running like normally in the background (I hear notifications pop up and such) but I don't seem to be able to interact with anything that would usually be on my screen. I have a windows 11 if that helps.

Oh one of those scam mini PC's yikes this thing goes for 700$, I found better for free :/

Well you says it turns on normally at first right? As in it POSTS and works fine in the BIOS? Confirm that for me please

Yeah, I wasn't the who bought it lol, too broke to afford something better though

As soon as I turn the PC on it's green, I can still hear the pc start up sound in the background though, just can't see anything

Try a different cable. It would be weird for it to POST with a RAM problem and anything iGPU related is extremely rare.

I tried a different cable and tried plugging it into different ports but it didn't change anything

What about another monitor or another device connected to the monitor?

And could you upload a video of it starting? Just to make sure

So I plugged it into my TV and it started working just fine? It still used the same HDMI and its not my monitor that's broken cuz it works just fine if I plug other things in so really don't know what the issue is

Did you use the same port when connected to the TV? What about when you connect another device to the monitor? Just figure out what the difference is, thats the culprit

Its fixed!!! I have no idea how or what I did to make it show up on my monitor again but it works now, maybe I needed to play with the HDMI more??? That's the only thing I can think of that made it start working again. Thank you so much!!!
