Win7 Screen goes black at login, and after loggin in

Post by simonmlewis »

In the past 24 hours, if I wake my laptop, it goes black when the login screen comes up. When I have logged in, it goes black again. moving the mouse always brings it back, but it's very annoying and I don't know why it is doing it.

It also did it when trying to open winamp.

I have checked the video card, and the display adapter is running fine.

What could be causing this?

Check your windows event logs for clues. Also check your power settings as another guess.

I looked online, and found a solution:
Restart in Safe Mode. That was fine. Then I restarted normally, and it works now. So heaven knows what caused it.
