    I received my 1720 Friday, and it's been working great. But when I put it in sleep mode, and then try to get it out of sleep mode, nothing will appear on the screen. The HD light is flashing, but I just get a blank screen. I put it in hibernate, but when I tried to turn it back on, I got a bright red screen on my display. What could be wrong?

    Did you disable any services or programs from the startup / services options?

    And you could try re-installing the graphics driver for your notebook...

    I did disable some services and programs from the boot/services tabs.

    I already updated the Nvidia driver to the latest version.

    EDIT: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=171581&highlight=hibernate

    Think I found the solution, need to try another NVIDIA driver.
