Boot to black screen

Having a bit of trouble figuring out what's going on in my car.

The other day, randomly, upon booting, my CarPC will go from POST then to the Windows splash screen, then to a black screen. The computer is running, the screen is still on (the monitor works). I can plug in a different monitor, no dice, I still can't see anything.

I can boot to safe mode and can get to see Windows without any problems. I check the device manager and nothing shows up as having problems. I check the error log and don't see any errors.

I put a new HDD on the mobo and pulled the old one. Loaded windows and everything fine. Then upon a reboot, nothing. It's not intermittant either. Once it happens, it will do it every time you start/reboot the PC.

Is this an issue with the mobo or an issue with the OS?

I'm not quite sure what the next steps are that I should take to trouble shoot.
