I'm facing an intermittent problem with my Studio 17. I switch it on, mostly from a hibernation state. So the Windows 7 login screen comes up and I type in my credentials. After that, the screen goes dark. The backlight is still on, but the display goes blank. I then have to hibernate the machine by pressing the power button. When it comes up again, 8 times out of ten, the display will now come up fine or I might have to repeat the process once more. I sometimes face this issue when the display switches itself off due to power saving settings. When I wake the display by pressing a key or the mouse, the display will be blank with the backlight on. Then I have repeat the whole damn process - press the power button, hibernate it, and keeping fingers crossed, switch it on. I've had this issue since I bought the laptop 8 months ago. Is it a problem with the drivers? I somehow dont believe its a sinister h/w problem. The display adapter is on-die Intel. I am not sure which. The processor is an i3 330. Rest is run of the mill hardware. 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB hdd, etc etc..
What seems to be the problem here?
