Hello,
I've a dell computer and I have aproximately the same problem. I
appears when my computer goes in sleep mode. To fix it temporarily, I
went to the control panel in "power management" and change the
profile to "always on" (sory, my windows is in french). After that,
the strange behavior dissappears. but, the drawback of this method is
that it does'nt save the battery.
