Re: Display goes blank after startup

The AC adapter is putting out good voltage and the battery holds a charge very well.

I have seen it occasionally have the backlight go out and then shortly have the whole display go dark. Then after a few seconds the machine shuts down. Presumably the short period of time is while it is saving the data and then it goes into hibernation. All I have to do is hit the power button and it comes right back up. It is not a real big deal but it is frustrating. It will do this two or three times and then run all day without a problem although I have had it do it after an hour or so. I suspected that it happened while some application was starting up but I have not been able to determine what it is. It may be some windows routine that is starting that causes it to hibernate. How can I determine what might be causing it?
