I have a few nodes up and running without issues (R620s) and I have 2 DIY systems as well (leftover PC parts) that were running fine for months. Came to check in on those devices and noticed that when I connected my monitor to them (they run headless) the screen was black. Restarted it and it never gets passed this screen (next thing that happens is it goes to a blank screen). Thoughts? Happens with both of my DIY systems ![Screenshot 2024-01-21 at 2.40.24 PM](https://forum.threefold.io/uploads/default/original/2X/d/deb9f7801e0db93e2c5e9dc313d769432677a09e.jpeg) ---

Hello there, If you haven’t already reached out to us via our live [support](https://threefoldfaq.crisp.help/en/), please note it is sometimes normal for screens to go blank after the GPU release, so you can check the dashboard at [https://dashboard.grid.tf/explorer/nodes](https://dashboard.grid.tf/explorer/nodes) to see the node status. If you’re booting up Zos for the first time; you can filter down with the Farm ID instead. Additionally, you can also hit alt+F2 to switch to the logs view. If the issue persists please connect with us over our live support chat and we will assist you there. ---
