It is booting normally, because even if I can't see anything, if I wait a few seconds until when it normally gets to the password screen I can enter my password and then I hear a notification sound that plays every time I first get to my desktop. I am using the latest graphics drivers and have not had any other video related issues besides this. The only way to "fix" this issue is to turn my computer off and leave it for a while. After a while when I turn it on again it works normally. If I don't wait and keep restarting the computer, I'll get no video every time I boot. This has been going on for a few months now and it's starting to become an annoyance. I really don't have any ideas of what this could be.

Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue. Are you able to see the BIOS/UEFI screen? If your video card has two DVI ports, have you tried the other DVI port?

When this happens I'm not able to seethe BIOS screen, nothing comes up. However I know for sure that the computer boots and works fine during this.

One is DVI-D while the other is DVI-I right, does it matter which I plug into if I'm using an overclocked monitor?

This issue is extremely hard to diagnose because even if I found the fix, I wouldn't know it because this issue happens so infrequently. I was told it might be the fast startup feature on Windows 10. As I have issues with sleep/hibernate on this computer, that sounds like it could be the issue.

Regardless, thanks for the help!

Edit: Welp. Immediately after writing this post I turned off fast startup and shut down my computer. I had a feeling it would act up again now, and I was right. No video when I turned it on again seconds after. Like I said, I know that it's booting into Windows (for instance, instead of turning off immediately when I press the power button like it would do if it wasn't posting, it takes the same amount of time to shut down as if I clicked shut down in Windows).
