I'm having the exact problem. Windows XP...I've disabled all power-management functions,
but after a while, the screen goes black. the mouse pointer is still visible and
will move when you move the mouse. caps-lock and shift-lock buttons will still light
up the light on the keyboard. if you insert a CD, the cursor will turn to the cd
icon, but the screen remains black the entire time. The only remedy that I've found
is to power down the computer and restart. I've gotten occasional messages about
a possible incompatible device driver (due to illegal access of memory). I've run
a couple of diagnostic programs on the physical memory and it checks out good. When
I attempt to do a "repair" by booting from the XP Cd, it gets so far and then I get
a message about IRQ_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL. I've unintalled all anti-virus software
and made sure that all drivers are from Microsoft update site....help!
