  • After my posts a month or so ago about struggling to get a windows install for my blanked laptop, I went ahead and installed Ubuntu on it instead but now I'm having an issue with the screen randomly going black. Can be 30 seconds after booting or 30 minutes. All I'm doing is Firefox browsing but it isn't consistent with doing anything else in particular. Computer stays on but screen dies and there's no way to get it back on but force shut down and restart.
    I've switched off all power saving and screen sleeping options but still persists.
    Any ideas?
    Alternatively would someone post me a windows 11 boot usb? I can pay the post and return the usb after.

  • think the problem was the USB sticks he had weren't being recognised by the BIOS or were hanging halfway through

    @PhilDAS happy to post a couple of sticks out to you. PM me address and can sort

  • This ^ but also I've no other windows machine in the household with which to create the bootable USB. Otherwise I would just buy a new usb drive and try again. But you need windows in the first place to download windows. 😬
    I've tried the programs that people say on Mac can do it but that's where I was getting errors trying to install it.
