Cannot select black

[Richard30359240gq56]

In the old days, if i wanted black in Photoshop, I would go to the color picker, select black and be on my merry way.
Now, when I select black, I may get dark green, I may get dark red, nut it takes at least five attempts to actuatly get black.  This includes multiple times typing 0,0,0 in the color picker.
This is driving me up a wall!  I'm sure there's an easy fix, but I can't find it.

Please help!!!

Try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

See here:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences

If this doesn't help try in a next step to disable the option to "Use Graphics Procesor" from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps. If it helps, you can check out the steps suggested here:   https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

Take a look especially point 7 in the "Troubleshoot GPU and Graphics driver" section.

If this also doesn't help check your system if it's up-to-date. Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

If this all doesn't help, we need more informations about your system. Maybe you can post your Photoshop system info. In Photoshop goto Help > System Info and hit the copy button. Then paste the entire informations into this thread.

I'm a little surprised and a little pissed off. I didn't mark your answer as correct, and yet, I received an email telling me it was marked as correct.  Interesting way to tell me to shut up!
I feel like this response is quite similar to the IT guy telling me to plug in my monitor.  Sure it might work for some. But this concern has been happening across multiple computers and multiple versions of Photoshop. So thanks for marking your OWN ANSWER correct, but if you don't mind, I'll wait for more useful suggestions.
If they don't come, I'll know exactly why.

I DON'T have marked my answer as correct!

You didn't mention that this occurs on multiple computers and with multiple PS versions. So these steps I've posted are normally the first steps that should be done. 

Please be more reserved with your comments in the future and refrain from being offensive.

If you wish to get better help you have to post a detailed description of your issue AND include informations about your system. This can get in Photoshop with Help > System Info and hit the copy button. Then paste the entire informations into this thread. Without system infos all proposed solutions are a look into the crystal ball.

You copied and pasted that reply.  I'm sure that every once in a while and you get "Adobe Points" for it. But your marking that answer as correct is a complete abuse of power and corrupt.
I think Adobe should take away your ability to respond to posts.  Please don't post to this question again.
Mute me, delete me, or do whatever other Trumpian abuse of power you'd like.  I have Gimp on my other machine and I'm not afraid to use it.

That's because I removed it. Don't post here again.
