Please help! My screen is black and only shows cursor (Windows 7 Ulti)

[Tsukichii]

Hello, thank you so much for checking out this forum. I'm having problems with my computer as the title says. Can someone please help? My computer every once in a while does show up my desktop normally, but I think sooner or later it won't show anymore. Thus, I have no choice but to turn to the forums for help. I have tried countless methods but they don't seem to work. I am a beginner for all this, so can someone please tell me a solution for this problem? ><

Thank you very much!!
