update: yesterday I went back to windows 8, assuming 8.1 caused this problem.However, I still get a black screen on wake up and have to do a hard reset.Edit: went back to 8.1 so I could instal this driver from Intel. Why is this not a standard update or in the dell support driver section?[URL] Edit 2: AAARGH, that still didn't fix it.. After a few hours of sleeping it still wouldn't wake up properly.So I choose to not let my laptop go to sleep, instead I let it hybernate. I changed this in the poweroptions. Just set everything to hybernate instead of sleep (so when closing the lid, when pressing the powerbutton).It takes a few seconds extra for the laptop to wake up (but still pretty fast, under 10 sec.), but at least the screen comes to life.Ps. sorry for all the dubble posts following thisone. Guess something went wrong yesterday.
hi guys, I recently bought this dell inspiron 3437 and updated windows to 8.1. After the update the screen stays black if the laptop has been in sleep mode for longer than, say, a few minutes. I read that this is a common problem after the update to windows 8.1, but I've not found a solution that works for my laptop.Any thoughts on this?
