		<description>3. the answer to this question isn&#039;t so easy - just to update video drivers. there&#039;s another causes of this problem. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.1 first of all we should check - is the screen perfectly blank, ot it&#039;s just backlit did not turned on. if there&#039;s no backlite and desktop appears on the screen and slightly visible - that may be BIOS problem. So you should try to update BIOS firmware, or if that doesnt work - try to rewrite it with older version of firmware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.2 if the screen perfectly blank - there may be problems with bios APM or ACPI settings ( S1/S2/S3 differs on providing with power internal hardware - read about it here &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms798270.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms79827...&lt;/a&gt; ) if there any and also - with some additional h/w driver installed in OS. the solution is to change Power Managment settings in bios ( or just reset them to default ), check power managment settings in windows ( what mode has been used - hybernate or suspend?), check in device managment - does PC ACPI mode supported, and try to disable additional hardware drivers installed in system - i.e. bluetooth dongle, tvtuners etc...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;may be this issues could be usefull:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242495/en/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242495/en/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907477/en/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907477/en/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=923232&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=923232&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;this patch fixes some problems too:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=97a6d0a8-947b-43a9-b415-b551d7c9097a&amp;DisplayLang=en&amp;displaylang=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to disable additional hardware use win+r-&gt;devmgmt.msc, right click on device, properties, disable&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to disable additional software, drivers and services use win+r-&gt;msconfig (sorry, my interface isnt in english) in common menu choose &quot;diagnostic startup&quot; or something like this (2nd from the top)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.3 concerning video driver problem - yep, may be it must be updated, but sometimes hardware better works with older version of drivers than with updated one. This can solve the problem too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.4 at last - it could be system fault - to solve - use win+r-&gt; sfc.exe /scannow ( this tool will check windows system files, and if any of the are corrupted - will restore them form windows installation (or recovery) disk )&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and afterall may be a good reason to check system event viewer, is there any errors or warnings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;that&#039;s it for question 3 :)</description>
