After trying one more time I realized that the timing reported by the Xorg log
was really too high.
So I tried to leave the PC in this black screen for a couple of minutes and I
saw that the Xorg log entries were all starting at 140s+

Apparently it is not a static black screen but instead an endless loop? And the
Xorg log is only about the last boot attempt.

With a video it will be easier to show exactly what happens:

Moreover as you can see if I move the mouse I'm able to see the SteamOS cursor
for a fraction of a second before the monitor turns completely black again.

No difference. I'll upload the Xorg log and the dmesg of it anyway, just in
case it could be of any help.
