Black screen of death :( Help!

Thanks, I will check this when I get the multimeter.

HI

Can I test it on a running computer? And open my programs like After effects, etc?

Yes.
You want to connect the meter with the PC off just to be safe, but once it's all connected then you want to turn on and run the PC and run all the intensive programs.

HI

I have got my hands on Multi Meter and tested for Voltage.
On yellow it keeps at 12.42 most of the time and goes sometimes 12.43.
On red, it is stable 5.12.

So my PSU is good?

HI

It looks to me a hardware issue, as when I was in safe mode, and I tried compressing some file using winrar and winzip I got black screen.
Will this be faulty Mobo?

Yes, this (somewhat crude) test shows that your power supply is holding steady voltage. It is the best we can do. It says you can rule out a bad power supply.

Mmmm. That makes me wonder about the hard drive.
I suggest downloading and running the hard drive diagnostic program from your hard drive's manufacturer and running it.

I have two HDD, one WD 1 TB and one Samsung 500 GB.
Can you assist me?

It would be the one that Windows is installed on.

okay, I found it.
