I recently bought the ASUS Q550LF from BestBuy, spending $1100. Now only a week in to using it, every 5-10 minutes my screen will suddenly turn off with no warning. The rest of the computer still runs fine, I know this because it still makes its normal sounds when I hit certain keys, insert/take out a flash drive, etc. The only way I've found to turn the screen back on is by:
a) closing the lid to put it to sleep, opening the lid back up, waking it up and re-logging in, or
b) holding the power button down to shut down, then reboot and start all over.
Considering this is a brand new, expensive laptop and this happens every 5 minutes or so, this is very frustrating Has anyone seen this problem before or have any suggestions?
By the way, Im running 64x bit windows 8.
Thanks!
