[QUOTE=OutOfPop;37047277]Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options
set it to High Performance.
I would only recommend while having your laptop plugged in.[/QUOTE]

Power saving mode is what your LCD monitor is going into, but your computer has crashed, go and check the Event Viewer and sort events by severity and we should be able to work out what has caused it.
To access the event viewer press the Windows Start Button Key and R together once, a small box will open, type in eventvwr.msc
The event viewer should now be open, now click on Windows Events then System, you will now need to click once on the column that says Level to sort events by severity, if it was a crash, it will be a Critical level event.
It will most likely be the most top one, so just right click on the event and select Copy > Copy Details as text and then paste it here, it should look something like this
