Hi all

The other day my screen went blank, came back on and I got a little report saying the driver had failed and sorted itself out.

Today my screen just wouldn't display. It would get past the windows splash screen but when it came to the desktop I got nothing and my screen went into standby.

I booted in safe mode and everything was fine, so I deleted the display drivers, rebooted and let windows install the drivers. When it asked me if I wanted to increase the resolution I clicked yes and the screen went dark and back into standby.

I appear to have resolved the problem by restoring my computer to a point yesterday or the day before, but I am now worried about it happening again and I am intrigued as to the problem.

Would anyone out there have any idea what may have happened, whether it be a software or hardware problem.

Thanks in advance.
