    When I close the lid and open it, the lcd stays black.
    I tried setting this option in Alien Command Center, and Windows Power Options for hibernate and sleep.
    It either just shows a wallpaper, and no icons or most of the time stays black?
    I just bought this, and I have updated all drivers, and have original disc's.
    Any ideas?

    Best,'

    Joshua

    Windows 7 has bugs with sleep/hibernation, it's not a GPU/driver problem.
