Good evening,
My laptop is an LG E500 running Linux Mint for the last 3 years. Last April, 2014, I upgraded to Linux mint 17. Everything was working fine. Since October my laptop's screen sometimes turned black and I couldn't do anything except entering in slleping mode and then coming back. Anyway, two weeks ago I upgraded to Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca hopefully that this problem would be disappeared. Unfortunately, this issue is continue. Below are my laptop's characteristics (acquired using ''System Profiler and Benchmark''): [TABLE] [TR] [TD="class: field"]CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73GHz[/TD] [TD="class: value"] 1733,00MHz[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: field"]Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73GHz[/TD] [TD="class: value"]1333,00MHz [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD="class: sstitle, colspan: 2"]OpenGL[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: field"]Vendor[/TD] [TD="class: value"]Intel Open Source Technology Center[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: field"]Renderer[/TD] [TD="class: value"]Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: field"]Version[/TD] [TD="class: value"]2.1 Mesa 10.1.3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: field"]Direct Rendering[/TD] [TD="class: value"]Yes[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] MEMORY 2055MB

My personal opinion is that something has to do with the drivers of my graphic card. I checked for any other driver using the ''additional drivers'' software but I get that this system doesn't use any proprietary driver. Any kind of help is more than welcome!
