    I tend to hibernate my notebook most of the time rather than shutting it off.

    About every other time it tries to come back from standby or hibernate mode i get either:

    1. no video blank screen

    2. video and grey wave lines.

    The fix is to hit FN + stand by and it will come back the 2nd time around.
    Sometimes I am forced to hard shut it down to make it come back.

    If i get the 2nd chance to log back in, it gives me a windows system error. I think this is the event from event viewer:

    The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Seems like a driver problem.
