windows 8 - My laptop's screen won't turn on after restart but it will after shutdown


I just installed Windows 8.1 x64 on my Laptop and I've encountered the following problem:


When I restart the laptop, the screen turns off after Windows logo shows up. Just before the "signing in..." page.


If I connect an external monitor everything works fine. I tried change back to original monitor but nothing happened. As if there is no original monitor.


The really strange thing is, that when I shut down my laptop, I turn it back on and everything works normally. The problem is only with restart.


Why is that happening and how can I solve it?


Note: My GPU is NVIDIA GEFORCE GT540M. If you need more hardware information please let me know.


Edit 1: Screen is not off. It is just black.


Edit 2: Now I have the same problem with shutdown too...


Edit 3: I installed windows 7........ I'm afraid I lost this battle....


Edit 4: I found a workaround but I cannot accept it as a solution but maybe it will help us. I noticed that when I restart my pc and get that black screen, if I put the pc on sleep and wake it up 5 seconds later, I get normal log in screen and everything works normal from that point.



Answer



After hours of searching, trial and error test and reading, I decided to man up and update BIOS. So I fixed a usb to boot windows 98 and got a flash utility thingy. After BIOS update everything seems to work fine.


If you have the same motherboard and you want to update bios translate this page and follow the instructions.
