This is getting pretty annoying. When I let my computer stay on for 15 minutes without even touching it, it automatically goes to sleep mode. Well that's okay, but whenever I go back to it and turn it on by moving my mouse or tapping random key on my keyboard, the computer turns on but the screen is pitch black. The only solution to this is to manually turn off the computer and on, and it is getting tiresome. And if I manually put my computer to sleep mode, same **** different day.

Anyone having the same issue as I have? It is getting annoying and could harm my computer pretty much. Any solution and tips would be grateful. Thanks!

Probably an issue with either you video card or video driver. You might want to try updating your video driver or if you have the latest one installed, uninstall it and then reinstall. See if that helps. Also doing a forced shut down isn't the best thing for your computer. It pretty much brings everything to a grinding halt. You'd probably want to avoid doing this on a normal basis. My suggestion would be for now, is to NOT use sleep mode until you can figure out the problem. If you're going to be away from your computer for a long period of time, just shut it down or set your power options to not use sleep mode.
