Alright, this one has me stumped.
On my desktop PC that I leave on all the time I have the "Turn off the display" set to 30 minutes and works as advertised. The computer itself is never put into a sleep or hibernation state. However upon waking up the display it turns back on the monitor but displays nothing but a black screen. Same on secondary monitor, it is on and outputting nothing more than a black screen. No mouse cursor, no nothing. This worked just fine under Windows 7 with the exact same video driver (tried both AMD Catalyst 12.10 and AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta11).
Looking around online I see some people having a black screen issue from a full hibernation state but like I said above I don't use hibernation at all. Granted, I can just manually turn off my monitor all the time but eventually I'd wear out that switch and the automatic "Turn off the display" has always been a great feature of Windows operating systems.
Any ideas?
