Whenever I switch my Dell Studio back on after putting it on sleep or even Hibernation, the computer switches on but the screen remains switched off. Its like something happened and the computer doesn't switch on again. I have to hold the power botton for 6 seconds in order to shut off my notebook completely in order to restart it again.

Can anyone help me with this? My friend told me that it might be vista however, my other friend who also owns a studio 1535 like me, never experienced this problem.

Any help??

Thanks.

Sdoneo.

Could be a video driver problem, check if there are any updated drivers for it.

Listen I did install the dell video update.

I first installed a video card update, then when I went back to the dell support site I found that Dell uploaded another update. However, the second update failed to install successfully!

Any ideas how i could fix the problem (i.e. the sleep and hibernation thing)?

Thanks.
