My computer recently started getting a blank screen before it can get past the login screen. The computer will boot up, get to the login screen, sit for about 5 seconds, and then the screen will go blank. It doesn't make any weird noises when it happens. The thermometer for the CPU on the motherboard goes blank as well when the screen goes blank, but the temperature is never anything crazy right before it gets a blank screen, under 30c, and the fans keep running on the case, CPU and the graphics card, the lights on the MOBO also stay on, just not the CPU thermometer. I have thoroughly cleaned the entire computer, pulled out the graphics card and cleaned that, reapplied new thermal paste, made sure all connections are secure, reset the CMOS, and I have no idea how to proceed at this point on figuring out what is wrong. I did have a problem a few months ago with the CPU overheating, but after I cleaned everything and reapplied thermal paste, it worked great. There was another issue where I would turn on the computer, and fans would run, but nothing would happen until I hit reset and then it worked normal. I could never figure out what was wrong and just hit reset if it did not turn on correctly. I built this computer 4 years ago with

and upgraded to a 1 TB Seagate SSHD later on when I purchased Windows 10, I still have the old hard drive hooked up. I have attempted to read any articles on here related to this type of issue but if I missed something I apologized just point me in the right direction! Thank you in advance for any help
UPDATE: I went and bought a new cheap video card and the exact same problem happened. Waiting for a cheap mother board to come in the mail so I can switch that out and see if that is the problem. After that I am going to try the power supply. Still taking suggestions on things I can try to fix this! Thank you!
