[QUOTE="cosman, post: 973990, member: 138601"] [b]black screen of death in Snow Leopard[/b] The black screen problem is all over the discussion groups. It affects all types and ages of Macs. My MBP started doing it after I installed SL. It does it randomly and infrequently. By randomly, I mean at various times under various circumstances. Resetting the PRAM does not fix it. I can't recover without a cold boot. When the screen goes black, after sitting for example, when I hit the F keys 9-11, it will come back on, but I as soon as I click on something it will go back off. This is not a hardware problem, it is a SL software problem. [/QUOTE]
