Black screen W7U after coming out of screen server when power is not connected
Hi,I have a lenovo X61 which I removed all partions of and installed W7U x64. downloaded the lenovo update utility and the combination of lenovo auto download and windows update installed all necessary drivers. Machine was working beautifully for at least 4 weeks.Then once I was working without the power plugged with over 50% of charge left. Went away for a while came back and the machine was I assume in blank screen saver mode. I moved the point tracker, typed some keys but the deep black screen would notgo away.rried forcing to go into sleep by shutting the cover. that didn't work. Tried for force it into hybernation by pressing the power button once thatdidn't work. Hard reset it by pressing the power button until it went off.when rebooted it allowed me to loginbut Symantec NIS2010gave me an error that it is was not activated although it was. I restarted the machine and this time it will not boot. Tried safe mode. No luck.I had to reinstall everything again 4 days ago.Yesterday again, I got the black screen when my laptop went into blank screen saver mode with no power connected to it.Hard reset was the only solution. This time I started up in Safe Mode then restarted and it is working fine.However, I do not want to risk going through the same issue again. We are configuring a volume mirror replication at work to recover faster if something happens again. But this is very troubling, time consuming and frustrating.any ideas what the issue might bet?

If the issue persists after installing the hotfix, I suggest you try to run the system without the Symantec NIS 2010. If the issue still occurs, please remove the video adapter driver and reinstall it.
