I found out more about this issue. It may not be relevant though.
I noticed that it's not really a true black screen but rather a black x

When I move the mouse, I can sometimes see a mouse pointer appear for a
short time in the upper left corner of the display.
That's all I can add for now.
Kind regards,
Roman
