    Lately I been having my laptop lockup when sitting in the screen saver to long, not quite sure how long it takes, simply put I think after a few rounds of the screen saver the monitor goes pitch black and basically locks up. Normally I will shut my laptop, which throws it into sleep mode and when I open it back up its fine, takes me to the logon page. Only thing I can think of is my screen saver is OpenGL and might have an issue, but I had it lock up when I put in my power settings to turn the monitor off, seems like it just doesn't want to "wake back up".

    Any ideas gents?
