You might try unplugging the computer, then plugging it in again & powering it on. You should see something - initial boot information. At this screen press F8 and boot into SafeMode. SafeMode defaults to a usable resolution. If you can get into SafeMode without a problem, your issue is highly...

This sounds more like a hardware problem if you can't get it to display anything at bootup. I doubt this is your issue, but my laptop occasionally won't boot. I unplug, take the battery out, push the power button on, replace the battery & plug back in. Works everytime. But I would guess your...

Just a quick update: still crashing, but not as often. I had waited to see if the Win7 SP1 would help, and it seems to have done a little at least. Anyway, went back thru the drivers and found 2 more to update. Gave that a try tonight; we'll see what comes of it. But from my research, it seems...

Here are the two. The first is almost immediately after I updated drivers, the second after 2 restarts. Thanks again!

Well, glad I don't make it to Vegas much. Still getting crashes at about the same rate (1-3 times a day). The SF tool driver list output doesn't match what I find when I check drivers individually. I don't have time at the moment to go thru them all, but a spot check (especially the ones that...

I surrender. Thought I could take care of it on my own, no luck. The BSOD are random - doesn't matter what program is running, it'll even crash just being logged in. I keep a minimum running @ startup. My best case was no anti-virus & no Adobe products, I think that lasted 2 days. I switched...

Work around - sometimes When I try to wake up from hibernation, my screen doesn't always wake up. However, I have found a work around for it. Type my password to login (on the black screen), then ctrl-alt-del, which wakes up the monitor and gets me going. Hope that helps, and hopefully someone...
