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!!!

New night time mode.

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.

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.

For me, assuming this is the same issue, my computer never came back from the black screen. Only solution was to restart.

I came across the same issue. I've not come across it before, though I usually disable features like sleep and hibernation.

Is your monitor set to go to sleep?

Sounds like my TF101 Tablet

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

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.

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*.

Possibly can be related to running Out of Memory.

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.

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.

Did you check in Event Viewer to see if any errors were reported?

Nothing except for Kernel-Power from me having to hard shut down the computer every time i get the black screen. Its quite frustrating.
