    While I'm using my M15X - All powerful for web and music, suddenly the screen goes blank, the light still on. I have to turn off by holding power button for 4sec. When I turn it on again, everything is fine til now.

    Thanks for your rep :)

    I got the same problem before (sudden blank). I ran a full diagnosis scan but there was no problem at all.

    Tried to uninstall VGA driver and installed a new version. It worked :)
