I have a Lenovo Ideapad running Windows 8. And I have a problem with the display going off and not coming back on unless I restart the computer.
I'm sure it's not a problem with Power Options because sometimes it doesn't do it. After 5 minutes the display turns off while on battery. After 10 minutes on wall power.
But sometimes it won't come back on. Sometimes the display turns off after some time and I come back and I can't wake it back up. Hitting keys, moving the mouse, even hitting the power button. The power button just puts it in sleep mode. So the only option I'm left with is a hard reboot. And the reboot causes it to go through an update setup process when it comes back on. Like there's an unfinished update that only comes to the surface when I restart. Any suggestions?
