moontear Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hello thar, I have the following problem: I tried multiple drivers for my Vostro notebook, including the official Vista driver from Dell, but all have the same problem: After returning from "Standby" (in quotes because I only have the LCD screen turning of, nothing else) Windows cannot resume correctly and the screen stays black. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - I couldn't find any pattern. Sometimes Windows7 warns about unsigned drivers and "your NVIDIA GForce driver has stopped working" etc. All drivers I tried so far (186.81_win7x32, 186.82_win7x32, 186.91_win7x32, 186.03_win7x32) show the same problem and it is annoying me. Is there some general thing I missed with the AHCPI power modes and Windows 7? All drivers I tried worked flawlessly with games and everything, just the "switching the lcd screen back on" doesn't want to work reliably. System: Dell Vostro 1400 Geforce 8500M GS (VEN_10DE&DEV_0427&SUBSYS_02271028&REV_A1) Windows 7 x86 Enterprise Current driver version: 186.03_win7x32 Hope someone has experience with these issues, moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisteds7 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I've always encountered the same issue. It wasn't a big deal before, but now I am moving several places a day and it's getting annoying rebooting when the lcd decides to remain black. I'll be checking back here to see if anyone knows of a fix. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have the same problem. The only reliable workaround is to disable Standby and use Hibernation instead. Why Hibernation works when Standby doesn't is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I never had problems with Hibernation even when several drivers did blackscreen on Standby earlier - which I almost never use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
