Hp pavilion dv9417cl (vista) screen blank and non responsive after non use for a period or screensaver locked up and also non responsive. have to power down and reboot.
Thanks for any help
Check your screen saver settings, and make sure your system is not set to hibernate after a period of inactivity. See links here and here

But the most likely cause of freezing systems are driver and hardware conflicts. Make sure you have applied sp1, as you have nVidia GeForce graphics card and there's a history of driver conflicts with vista for these cards, that are resolved by updating the drivers. For more info on that, click here.and here.
Your best bet is to start at windows update and see if there are any hardware updates available for your system, then troubleshoot video and graphics from Device Manager, then work on performance tweaks..
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

Remove the battery and the RAM let it sit for about ten minutes and see if that will fix it. What you are doing is purging the memory on your ram this should fix your issue
