    So my wife has an M14x and the one problem we see happens when it comes out of sleep the resolution changes from 1600x900 to 1024x768. This happens I would say about 50% of the time it comes out of sleep mode. Also I have seen from time to time the screen go totally blank and in order to get it back up and working we had to do a full reboot. Is this a driver issue or something wrong with the laptop??

    The screen going totally blank I would say is related to the the SSD + HDD combo, the m14x appears to be problematic in this set up or even with non stock hard drives in general. Lot's of documented on the forums with really no solutions.
