This turning black (black as a TV screen turns when the power is
removed] is more like a blink.  It can happen in the beginning, middle
or end of a session.  If it happens when the computer is idle,
I would not be aware as my eyes would probably not be on the
screen to catch the blinking off of less than a second.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
