How to replicate the problem: Any time I enter an option in the Retropie configuration, it takes me to a black screen and does nothing afterwards.I've reinstalled multiple times and keep getting the problem. I can't enable ssh or anything.
I've also noticed that using smb from Windows 10 PC, that when the retropie is at one of these black screens I can't move around or do anything in the folders on it from SMB.I've looked around the forums at similar topics and sometimes it has something to do with 4k TV's or monitor resolution. I am doing this on an old 1080p TV and 1080p monitor capable of 120hz, will try with a different tv real quick.

Answered my own question. So my workstation has 3 monitors and a TV, the pi had this issue with the TV and one of them monitors. Works absolutely fine on the other 2 monitors though, and the TV in my living room where this was going to go anyways works fine with it as well.
Anyone know why this issue is occurring?
