Upon restarting my system after doing the standard mass of Windows 8 updates, I came across a strange blank/black screen (after seeing the Bios/w8 splash). I assumed it was stuck, so pressed the power off button and the laptop turned off. After rebooting the laptop loads up normally to the desktop.
However the next time I restart I get the same black screen. I plugged in an external monitor on HDMI and it displays the desktop on there, ignoring the inbuilt laptop monitor.
This is what the black screen looks like (lights off for clarity):
If I shut down and leave it for a few minutes, then turn it on, it goes past the Windows 8 splash and logs in, then shows the desktop fine.
I have installed all the Windows Updates and all the drivers I could find from both Medion and Intel.
Please can someone help? I've searched the internet but struggle to understand the seemingly random fixes that are suggested!
