I have been experiencing a persistent system hang and video crash for several months when waking my system from S3 sleep.
Actual Behavior
* Occurs occasionally when waking the system by pressing a keyboard key.
* The secondary monitor wakes up, but the primary monitor remains completely blank (does not unblank).
* The system becomes entirely unresponsive:
* The keyboard is unresponsive (e.g., pressing Caps Lock does not toggle the LED indicator).
* The mouse is unresponsive.
* A brief press of the physical power button does nothing (normally, this is configured to trigger a clean shutdown).
Current Workaround
* The only way to recover is to perform a hard reset by holding down the physical power button until the system powers off, then rebooting.
Logs & Diagnostic Info
I have attached the event file entries capturing the events before, during, and after the crash and recovery in event log format. Please use Event Viewer to open the saved log to view the details.
