it goes black while in windows... if i close the laptop and then open it it will come back for a couple of seconds ... it will also come back if i hit Fn and f7 at the same time ... but then it goes black again ... i can see my desktop slightly so it does not go completely black ...

yes, download and install the latest video drivers
also, check and make sure that the monitor isnt set to go off after a few minutes, this is in the power saving settings
