Sometimes when i run certain software my screen blanks out. For example, sometimes when I use Word Perfect I try to save a document and as it is saving the screen turns to its full background color, forcing me to reboot the system. Although the document is saved it is a pain to keep rebooting. Word Perfect isn't the only software it does this on, so it is not the software itself. If anyone can help please send e-mail. Thanks, Brian
