    Hey everyone, I am having an issue with my lcd screen. Whenever my computer changes resolutions my screen will turn black as its supposed to, but than it will just hang there. An example of this is when I'm playing Crossfire and I want to go in game it will change resolutions and go black and stay there. I found a temporary work around which for some reason is weird. If I adjust my screen brightness with fn+f4 or f5 it fixes it. Is anyone else familiar with this? Thanks for your help!

    Does it also happen with xFire disabled? Have you tried a different video driver version?
