Hello,

I have problem with my lock screen on my Probook 4540s with Win 8.1 64bit (update 1). Everything is updated and installed.

When i go to lock i get only light blue screen and no picture or o'clock. I notice it dose this only on "high preference" setting in power manager. So this is problem with graphic driver. When i install older driver (from January 2014...) its OK. Is there any way to work it out with new driver?

New drivers often screw things over. I would stick with the older drivers since they work just fine

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Thank you, i like your avatar too :-) 

 

I would stick with the old one, but it is really old (Nearly one year).

When it comes to drivers, it's better to stick with what works. New drivers rarely improve anything for older hardware and are more likely to cause new issues.

 

Updating your drivers regularly is only really necessary for just released hardware. Stay with the driver that you know works.
