micro Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have the Windows 8 Release preview installed native on my 90gb ssd. When i leave my computer on overnight, in the morning when i try to wake it all i see is a black screen. The monitor wakes up but the screen is entirely black, nothing i do short of restarting fixes the problem.. I disabled Sleep and hybernation, im not sure what is causing this!!!

articuno1au Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I've been having this issue for a while. It's something related to sleep, however I haven't been able to nail down the root cause. I've just taken to restarting when required and allowing the hibernate file to restore my desktop session as if I were awakening the computer from sleep.

+KibosJ Subscriber² Posted June 2, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted June 2, 2012 I "Sort of" had this, but I waited a few seconds and it came back on. I didn't like it, so I told my monitor not to go to sleep and now it doesn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
articuno1au Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 For me, assuming this is the same issue, my computer never came back from the black screen. Only solution was to restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I came across the same issue. I've not come across it before, though I usually disable features like sleep and hibernation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detection Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sounds like my TF101 Tablet :p I had the same problem with the CP if it went to sleep it wouldn't wake up properly, sometimes hitting the power button once would drop it back into sleep and it would wake up, most times I had to hard reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
articuno1au Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yes, and the computer is set to sleep also. 95% of the time it just wakes up fine and off it goes. This particular issue isn't related to the monitors being slept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micro Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well i just went and installed all the latest MB drivers i could get my hands on. Hopefully it fixes the issue.... I also notice that if i have a screensaver set that asks for login credentials on resume, it hasn't locked up yet*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArialBlue Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Possibly can be related to running Out of Memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also notice that if i have a screensaver set that asks for login credentials on resume, it hasn't locked up yet*. I turned off the password request on login when it has been in sleep, that's the downside of using your Live account password to log into the machine, tooooo long.

micro Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Update, even with the latest drivers and having a screensaver. It still is showing a black screen when idle for over 6 hours upon mouse movement. This seriously blows because i use my computer for networked media sharing, having to reboot it all the time doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitramX9X Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Did you check in Event Viewer to see if any errors were reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micro Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Nothing except for Kernel-Power from me having to hard shut down the computer every time i get the black screen. Its quite frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison H. Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've had the same issue on multiple computers in the CP and now the RP. One is a MacBook and one is a custom built desktop. I've had to disable sleep on both of them. The laptop works fine with display sleeping though. My desktop however has the exact same issue.

ahhell Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've had this problem too. I'm chalking it up to buggy drivers. It'll get resolved by RTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristian Bazzu Bazzucco Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Same with me, even with windows 8 release and nowwith stable.. Just tried to update graphic card driver, disable hybernate.. someone resolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozzify Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 This will sound stupid, but when you have the issue again, unplug your DVI, HDMI or VGA cable form the graphics card on the back of the computer, wait a few seconds, and plug it in again. I had that issue at times and doing that helped.. Windows was actually thinking I removed the display, so it wasn't showing anything.. when I plugged the cable back in, it detected it and continued the display. So try it, who knows.. it might work.

n_K Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Try plugging an external monitor in or hitting the screen switch button (usually used with the Fn key) if your laptop has it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
