    Hi,
    So i was just using my computer like normal and after trying to run one game I just got on steam my screen went black and said not supported. After that i closed that and everything worked fine again so I tried again and the screen again went black, I shut down my computer manually with the power button cause i couldn't get out of the black screen and now when i try to turn my computer on the startup works fine but then the screen goes black again and says Not supported or No signal.
    I checked my wires they're all perfectly fine just like they were before.
    I turned off all startup programs, too.
    My computer only works in safe mode, please help!

    Welcome. Can you try a system restore to a date pre-game?

    Although I don't wish to interfere too much with the advice already given by Bill. It should be pointed out that a System Restore run from Safe Mode cannot be undone or reversed. So I would suggest before doing that, and if it is an available option from the Advanced Startup screen, that you should try....

    "Last Known Good Configuration"

    Maybe the video resolution is way too high for the monitor. Something to try: after booting to Safe Mode, right click on an empty area on the desktop. That will bring up a context menu. Go to the bottom and select Properties. From there, go to the Setting tab. Use the slider and bring the resolution down to 800 x 600.

    Reboot to Normal mode. If it works, reset the screen resolution to a more desirable setting.
