PC Still Broke

Every dagnabbit diagnostic tells me that nothing is wrong with my PC, and yet every time it 'sleeps' I still get the black screen. I have spent hours and days trying to fix this. Nothing works. I am beside myself. It also happens when I boot up. I have to restart my PC several times to get a display. Both graphic cards are good (the one I took out and this one). The drivers are up to date. The registry is fine. I am losing my mind!

I also tried to paint a wolf. I cropped this much closer than the actual painting.


This month is going to be a rough. I have two newsletters to start and a third to finish... and my PC is 'broken'! This is not going to be fun.

Better your PC is broken and not you. Wolf's whiskers make the painting look 3-dimensional. Good, however.

Thanks! I changed the background color to black. It is more drammatic.

That wolf looks very self satisfied.

Yes, he does. Almost looks like a friendly shepherd!

I googled it (black screen after sleep) and found quite a few hits, so you are not alone. Here is one that seems to offer a solution and not just describing the problem:

But you might find something more on point for you by following some of the links. Good Luck!!!! Hugs.

I tried that too- and a lot of other fixes. I think I managed to screw up my registry trying to fix it, but something is better. I left my PC on all night and while it did not wake up normally, it came back after hitting control/alt/delete. That is a vast improvement.
