This laptop was an old Dell but had 64-bit processor and 4gb RAM so i upgraded it to windows 10. If you send it to sleep and then wake it up, the screen appears. This is obvously a driver issue.

These are my notes on what I tried using the offcial driver:

• Bios auto memory size causes black screen. Set video memory to 32mb manual (Did not work for me)
• Change bios settings + set windows to auto load
• Also the official driver from windows update is not compatible. Force the driver not to download
• Send to sleep, wake up with ctrl + del will always display the screen

Solution

This do not give you all the acceleration of the graphics card but it does not suffer from the blacked out screen issue.

• Windows basic video driver will always work without issue
