  1. Screen goes black when I stop any activity on laptop i.e. if I'm reading something


    I have latest version of windows 10 running on my laptop. Everything works fine. There is one issue I want to ask about. It's that when I stop using laptop i.e. when I'm sitting idle or reading something on laptop my laptop screen goes black and right as I move the mouse, the display starts working again plus it refreshes every window too. It's really frustrating. Can anyone please tell me whether it's a technical issue with display or is it some kind of driver not working properly? So that I can get it fixed.

    :)

    Screen goes black when I stop any activity on laptop i.e. if I'm reading something

    HP zbook goes to black screen after boot up and wont let me access start up menu to repair it

    Hello Giovanny,

    One possible reason why the laptop goes to a black screen while booting up may be due to a corrupted system file. To provide you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Were there any significant hardware/software changes prior to this happening?
    • Do you see the Windows logo before the screen goes black?
    • Does it reboot after awhile or does it stay on a black screen?
    • Do you see any blinking LED lights on your laptop that indicates any activity?

    We're looking forward for your response.
