Screen Blanking

Good Morning All

I was wondering if anyone could help save my Sanity. I have just reinstalled Zorin OS 9 on my Hp 2710p and I have the annoying problem where when I am trying to use a browser the screen just goes black. I have to force it to shutdown to get it back on again.

I have found this with Firefox and Chromium.

I have disabled all the power settings I can but cannot see what is causing this.

Any ideas?

Cheers :)

Hi, Please take a look here (Zorin 9 is based on Ubuntu 14.04):

Keep us posted. :D
