Ok, so when i play, or just do anything, my tft display turns off, the tft display of my laptop. It doesn't really turn off, it just turns off its lights... if i look closely i see that it's still on. Just extremely dark, near totally off. Thing is, it does is about every 30 seconds. if i alt tab out of a game it works again, or if i go stand-by mode, or if i hold the blue "fn" button next to the ctrl button, and press f8. Just... it happens every 30 seconds... it's a HUGE pain in the arse. Any suggestions? I opened my computer a few days ago... and took out everything. A few days after that this thing with the screen started happening, and now its doing it extremely frequently. for example, it happened twice while proof reading this! Thx

The same thing has happened to me twice. I need to restart my machine to fix it.
