Blank Screen
Friday, October 28, 2016 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
Using Windows 10. On a Dell Insprion 15 laptop. It's new. When I'm on battery, ever so often the screen just turns off. Was curious if anyone would now why. :/

tdr.. some vid driver related thingy in windows that's supposed to protect the system... so it just crashes the driver rather than the whole thing. but for me.. the monitor goes to sleep instead

ah.. i wasn't too concerned about making a link. (wasn't even trying to make one.. , kinda hate links) i assume people know how to highlight it and open in new/same tab if needed.
did notice the forum looked different though.

driver problem that somehow kills the display (but everything else work) until reboot? my nvidia 970 occasionally does that upon exiting full screen games.. especially swtor.. which is why i don't touch that anymore... the monitor still pumps out sound but no display... something to do with tdr
no idea.
