m15 R5, black screen

When the m15 R5 enters sleep mode, it stops working and does not turn back on except when pressing and holding the power key and restarting it. Sometimes the keyboard lights up, but the screen is black and does not work.

Hi @Besheer  please clarify if black screen is permanent, or only transitory after sleep mode. 

What is the Windows version on the Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition R5 laptop? Thank you.

Hi @Besheer !

Run these commands in the command prompt as an administrator and see if that fixes it.

sfc /scannow

chkdsk /r

chkdsk /f

Hi @Besheer !

Did you follow my commands I replied with that you're supposed to enter in the command prompt as an admin.

And did you download this driver to see if it fixes the issue?

I am having the same problem. The screen will just go black with the laptop still running. I have to hold the power button to do a force restart. it has happened 4 times now and twice in a row 20 minutes ago.

Same problem, I can be doing anything and working on anything and the screen goes black and the laptop locks up.  Force restart every time and it happens multiple times a day.

One of the main causes for this issue is a corrupt system file preventing the operating system from loading, resulting in a black or blank screen. Restart Windows to see if it's a temporary issue and resolves itself with a reboot. If the problem persists, erase your hard drive and reinstall Windows.
