    Hi, guys i have a lenovo y400 laptop that is 1 year old and it was working without any problem but from past 2 months i am having this weird display issue. Every once in a while nvidia drivers stops working and i get a black screen for 5-10secs and then back to normal, sometimes when i put the laptop to sleep i and when i wake it up all i get is a black screen and i have to restart it. Most annoying issue is that sometimes i don't even get a display when i turn on the laptop and restart it several time to get it to work.
    I have tried different nvidia driver and also reinstalled a fresh windows 8 but nothing seems to work. Is there anything i can do to fix this issue.
    ​Thanks

    Are you using only Lenovo drivers (for all hardware)? If not; that could be your issue right there.
