Black screen still appears after clean install of W10
Hello everyone.
So, yesterday I was playing a game for about an hour and after about 30 minutes I had a black screen. I restarted the PC and everything was OK. Today in the morning I started the PC and after 3-4 minutes of using it there was the black screen again, with apps and everything clearly working in the background, no cursor. For last 16 hours I tried to do everything to fix it. At first I thought it is a software issue - I managed to start Windows 10 in emergency mode, it had a really low resolution. When I disabled or rmoved BOTH screen drivers and GPU drivers Windows started in a normal way with a very low resolution and after 4-5 seconds there was black screen again. Other then that, nothing worked and I tried about 20 different things. I decided to format both SSD drives and install a clean Windows 10. I did that and it didn't help. I also tried to reinstall it again on the other drive and nothing changed. I tried using a different screen that works fine - nothing. I tried different socket, nothing. I tried changing different settings in BIOS, nothing. I tried disabling fast boot, nothing. I tried removing everything that is connected (keyboard, mouse, speakers etc.), nothing. I tried rolling back graphic and screen drivers, installing old ones, installing the newest ones, nothing. I opened the PC and examined all the parts, one by one, nothing. I tried disconnecting both drives and starting the system with only one of them connected, nothing. I started to wonder if this might be a hardware or BIOS issue. I changed the graphics to integrated ones in BIOS and now nothing happens after the start - there is no BIOS, no nothing, the screen is completely dark...
I am literally hopeless. I cannot afford a new PC and I need this one to work - and I have already failed a deadline due to this problem and I might soon lose a job... What else can I try to fix it? What might be a nature of the problem?
Here are my specs:

2 SSD drives, both are new (less then one year old) from different manufactureres.
I built the PC in 2014, so it's quite old.
