No resolution. I think it's a combination of a poor operating system - Windows 8 and poor support from Acer. The video driver on the Acer support site is older than the one installed on my system. I tried downgrading to that, but still no better and the driver available on the Intel site will not install because it does recognise the graphics controller. Seems Acer have amended that as well.

Thanks for the link. The download is called VGA_AMD... whereas I have the Intel HD graphics chip. Willthis work with Intel?

Aspire xc600 will not wake from sleep mode

I have had intermittent issues where the desktop will not resume from sleep. If i move the mouse the monitor wakes from power saving mode up but is just a black screen. The same happens if I hit the power button. I then have to close down by holding in the power button and it may takes several tries before I get back to the Welcome screen. It is also taking a lot longer to boot these days.
I have upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 but still experience the same issues

Any ideas, please?
