    Display screen blacking out while in use and resuming normal activity for a few minutes.


    While I am using my laptop, the display screen will go completely black with borders. I have not been able to write down what the borders state, but the screen resumes normal activity after a small bit of time.

    Issue with black screen, dual display, ATI Integrated GPU

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to go to device manager and disable the display drivers, check whether the issue persists or not.

    • Press Windows + X keys and click
      Device manager.
    • Click to expand Display adapters, right click the second adapter and click
      Disable.
    • Restart the computer and check whether the issue persists or not.
    • Repeat the same steps to disable the first display adapter and check if it helps.

    If you find the issue is with anyone of the display adapters then, I suggest you to update the display drivers from the manufactures website for Windows 10 and check if it helps.

    Method 2: I suggest you to follow the steps form the below article for
    “Black Screen” issues and check if it helps.

    Display screen blacking out while in use and resuming normal activity for a few minutes.

    Lock screen not working even though 'On resume, display logon screen' is checked

    Hello,

    The Lock screen is not working even though 'On resume, display logon screen' is checked. I have the the settings as 'Wait 10 minutes'. The screen saver does not function (bubble) so I assume that is why the 'On resume, display logon screen' is not working.
    So over night as an example I do not use the computer so assume something is still running that stops it activating the screen saver? So can I check what activity stops the screen saver activating? Thanks
