So I just finished building my first PC. Almost everything went smoothly, I booted from a USB flash drive on which I had the windows installation media installed. I was able to go through the initial setup of both Windows 10 and 11. The problem occurs once I try to connect the PC to the internet and all the updates start coming in. While downloading/installing the updates, my screen goes black, the monitor shows that there is no signal and it stays black. If I try to restart the computer and boot from the drive I installed windows on the black screen persists. I am however able to enter BIOS on the PC.

I've tried reinstalling both windows 10 and 11 several times and nothing changes, as soon as I connect the device to the internet, the screen goes black. I am using an old VGA monitor with a display port adapter to connect to my GPU, but I'm not sure if that is the issue here.

Any thoughts?
