Black Screen when booting up Windows and not entering password right away.
Hello. When I boot up Windows 10 and step away, when I come back the screen is black, PC is not responding to anything, I head fan(s) running at about 60%. I have no choice but to power down PC by holding a power button. However, when I enter password right away, everything is fine. Please advise. Thank you.

Your PC is experiencing a problem with sleep, hibernate, or display timeout settings, resulting in a black screen and unresponsive system when you step away. The fact that the fan runs at about 60% and the system is frozen indicates a potential hardware or driver issue, or a system setting causing the system to hang during sleep/wake cycles.
