    Hi All,
    Maybe someone will be able to help... As of a few months ago I started having the following problem - after leaving the laptop on for a while, when I try to use the computer again, the screen stays black. The laptop itself is working and I can do stuff on the external monitor which doesn't have the same problem, but in order to get the main screen working, I have to put the computer to sleep and then turn it on again. After that everything is perfect for a random period of time. I have the display set to sleep after 10 minutes, by the way. The graphics card drivers (both Intel and nVidia) are up to date. I tried playing with advanced power options in Windows control panel, which I saw mentioned in some threads, but no luck. Anyone else seen this issue? I guess I could just always disable display sleep, but that seems kind of a silly workaround.
