    Hi.

    I have a Sony VAIO (the VGN FS 850/W) that's been giving me some problems.

    The screen randomly goes blank while I'm using it.

    Most of the times when it happens the screens turns totally black or totally white. Sometimes it has even turned blue, pink or orange.

    I would like to know if any has a solution that would fix this problem.

    I also get screen flickers sometimes. I've noticed it happening while the touchpad was in use.

    I hope this problem can be solved.

    Thanks alot.

    should try updating your graphic driver, if still going, then try reinstall the system. if still occurs, could consider as hardware problem.
