I have an HP n5415 running Windows xp home. Just recently the screen on the laptop would just go black, with no warning or error. The laptop does not turn off I can hear and see that the harddrive is doing its thing, the lights are still on, I can open the cd drive, etc. I have tried to hook it up to the desktop monitor and it does the same thing. I can not run any anti virus software because it goes black to quickly. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks Bill
 
You said that it does the same thing even when plugged into a monitor? So it isn't a backlight problem or the LCD panel's video feed cable coming loose.

The only conclusion I can come up with is that your video adapter is on its way out. Because I can't think of any windows errors doing that unless the video drivers were corrupted.
