[First off sorry moderators, I posted this by mistake in the benchmark area.]
Hello,
While I love love love my 5680, recently I think something has gone awry. The video will go blank as if it went into standby or something WHILE I am typing away. It has just started doing this, the last change I made was going to the 7.97 ATI drivers to fix a lot of multitasking issues I was having. The old drivers that shipped with the laptop would crash the laptop if I dropped from a game to the desktop to do something for a moment. The new drivers do not do this and they work fine. However the video issue is getting real frustrating.
The only way I get video again is to hit ctrl+alt+del over and over and eventually I get the task mgr, and unfort. the video will go out again!!! Then all I can do is shut it off the hard way and reboot.
Could this be heat related????
I have opened a ticket with SAGER and I have to say I'm kind of peeved that you can't call them and speak with a tech, I'm sick of this call back method of support. Request a call back, and like a day or two later they call you, then you aren't there to get the call and then you wait again!
To try and troubleshoot the issue I set the laptop to never go into suspend mode or sleep mode while the ac adapter is plugged in. It still happens.
Anybody else have these kind of issues? Man I hope I don't have to send this thing in.
