My laptop screen turns off then back on after the log-in screen (Aspire V3-572G)

GeKKo · January 2016

Hi! I reinstalled windows the day before yesterday and since then every time I turn my laptop on after entering my password the screen turns off for like 2 seconds then turns back on. This have never happened to me before. I tried putting my old windows back via Macrium Reflect and I even tried reinstalling it again but neither of those things helped. I have an Acer Aspire V3-572G laptop. Any idea what caused this and how could I fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hi GeKKo

As it is still doing the same thing after re-imaging a previous installation, and a couple of complete re-installations , then it might be a loose connection.

Is it ONLY when you log on, or can you reproduce it by wiggling the screen?

Just shaked my screen for about a minute and nothing happened, so it only happens when I log-on.

That is a strange one!

Is your graphics driver up to date?

Thanks for the link.

It may be a graphics chip problem. Try running a fairly graphics intensive program for a while to see if the screen goes black again.

Since this issue started happening I've played GTA V for 3-4 hours straight and no black screen at all.

This is a puzzler!

I'm going to ask one of Acer's technicians to see if they can advise anything....

Aight, thanks! Smiley Happy I have no problems other than that black screen, no slow-downs whatsoever.

Sorry for the delay in replying!

Try uninstalling the graphics driver then performing a refresh. Once done re-install the graphics driver, and see if this fixes the issue....

Was 8.1 the original OS? If it was then you could try to go back to that then uninstall the graphics driver, upgrade to 10, then re-install the graphics driver - long winded, I know, but may solve the issue.

But ultimately, if there are no other issues then just try to ignore it!
