    When i come back from sleep mode the screen doesn't come on. The computer works bc i can type my password and i hear it go into windows. I resorted to hitting the windows key and arrow right and shutting it down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I think this is a common problem with the R3/R4. Not sure if there is a fix for it or not.

    Sometimes mine will come back on from sleep but the screen will be SOLID PINK. Havnt exactly figured out what causes this yet. But when I put it back to sleep using the Fn Keys and then re-awaken it the screen will come back on as normal. Probably a bug that will be worked out in future driver upgrades.

    This doesnt happen every time, it appears to happen randomly at this point.
