Black screen of Death. Cannot boot system

Windows 10 64bit / Acronis 2017 latest version
PROBLEM
Black screen of Death. Cannot boot system after running and the failing the following utility disks;
-Acronis rescue
-Acronis bootable rescue media
-Windows 10 System repair disk

INFORMATION
-I religiously run "full mode" back up's of my system disk weekly on an external hard drive.
-I pulled the system drive and inserted it into an external dock. I can view and open all the folders and contents.
-All my user files are stored on hard drives other than the system drive (Drive c:).
QUESTION
-Can I do an Acronis restore to a blank hard drive mounted in a dock?
-Can I run a restore on the original drive mounted in a dock?

Thank you for your excellent, to-the-point response Bobbo. I ordered a new Western Digital black drive from Amazon and it will be here Wednesday.
I failed to mention that it has been exceedingly hot here in the Pacific Northwest for a few weeks and I'v had the side off my PC with a fan running to keep it under 120 degrees. This may have contributed. - Best. Bob

Happy to try and help out.
Yeah, heat and computers don't always work too well - that could be an issue. Are you able to see the bios when you startup - just to make sure it's not something else physical like the video card? Not sure where you're seeing the black screen - or it's always black (which wouldn't be too good).
If your computer has a hardware diagnostics mode or disk, might not hurt to run it (Dell and HP often have this). Might as well run memtest on the memory to check it out while you're waiting too (if you have a way to grab it with your PC being offline).
