Hi guys!
Ok, first of all i'm new and i'm a girl and i know very little about computers, so go easy on me! ;-)
I tried to fill in the profile but didn't understand what the different sections were referring to, so i apologise for that. Here's the problem:
My laptop (HP compaq nx9010) was reformatted last year and since then it was unable to play DVDs or games at all, so recently we tried to solve this problem and downloaded a radeon omega driver, which to be fair solved the problem, and now games etc work like a dream. The problem is that the screen has started turning itself off randomly - now, if i catch it in time, say within 30 secs, a minute, and click the mouse, the screen simply comes back on again, however if i havent noticed the problem and go to turn the screen on then i get nothing. With it being a laptop, i then have to take the power lead out and wait for 6 or so hours for the battery to run out before i can reboot the thing again -NIGHTMARE
I'm guessing it's gonna be some kind of driver conflict, but i dont know enough about computers to know what to do next.
Would honestly be very grateful to anyone who takes the time to help me.
Mel
