What are you trying to display Just PC desktop applications or TV? If TV
what kind SD or HD? If HD then the x1200 does not have the memory bandwidth
to display it full screen.

Just PC...Been over a week now running multiple applications at the same
time (word, dvd software, downloading music, multiple web browsers, etc)
still no issues with the blank screen. As I mentioned before this
happened to me every day just running MS Word or just having one web
browser open. Somethng else that worked for users is going to Power
Options, Advanced Power Settings, Expand 'Sleep', Expand 'Hibernate
After', Select 'On battery: Never' and 'Plugged in: Never'. Apparently
many poeple are having positive results with the min. Processor power
management at 100% though. I have done both these things and my PC has
been golden.

I was crashing at least once a day, and after this change, I've gone
all day without a crash. Thanks for the tip! Obviously there is a
problem that needs to be fixed, at least until Toshiba can figure it
out, I have a usable laptop now.

Thanks!

I think it is a problem with Vista. I looked at a forum online where people
were talking about this same problem and most of them had HP's. It is so
frustrating! I hope someone figures it out soon!

I have a Toshiba also. Has this been a permanent fix for you?
