Frank,
    Mine boots fine but it sleeps during the boot and login. In other words the 
boot text shows, then goes blank after a few seconds until it reaches some new 
level of the boot the another breif text flash and this continues until the end 
of the boot.  I can log on only by turing my screen off and on and quickly 
moving my mouse to the login box, then typing..I will try the screen saver 
suggestion
