Sounds like the LCD screen is going out. Doesn't sound like a video card/driver problem to me.
 
Not always. Sometimes when the screen is going bad you will have things like places of the are darker then others or there is some discoloration, but that fact that you said the screen can be blank but you are able to hook it to an external screen and then it works fine shows that the Video card is working. So the problem is most like either the LCD or the connections going from the Video card to the LCD.
