Does that mean that both the internal and ext monitor work OK - or just the internal???
Is your ext a TV??
Can you identify your GPU (video card) and amount of video ram??
I seem to recall having similar symptoms before my GPU died.
It gets really scary when all you can see is a black screen
If this is happening to your PC you will want to know the workround.
How old is the laptop & is it still under warranty???
