  1. Why does my computer say no display and has to restart when booting from sleep?


    I have had this problem for a while. Occasionally, when my computer boots from sleep, it will say, "No display," and I will have to restart. If it does not say, "no display," it will just leave a black screen and have to be manually restarted if it does not restart automatically. This only happens when the computer is trying to wake up. Here is the only dump file generated as I restarted Windows to attempt to alleviate the problem. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1esS36btIrwH9As1AJbAnmLuVkEkKDlpx/view?usp=drive_link

    Computer restarts when screen sleeps

    Not yet. I am currently using the same workaround as you.

    I followed the suggestion to post this problem on the TechNet forum
    and received a recommendation. I just haven't had time to try it yet. You can view the post here.
    The suggestion is to perform a clean boot. If the problem does not occur then you need to systematically re-enable services (restarting the computer each time) until the problem occurs again. This will pinpoint the problem service.

    See this
    article
    to perform a clean boot. The troubleshooting section you will want after performing the clean boot is called "How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot" near the bottom of the page. Follow step 11 after
    pinpointing the issue.

    Let me know if you have any success.
