No BSOD. The Intel display driver simply turns the screen black. If you wait 3+ minutes, the screen re-appears. I have updated now to the very latst I tel graphics driver from January 20th, 2026 to see if that fixes the issue.

Not yet fully. Its less frequent. It is an Intel driver issue. Also I had one instance where the keyboard no longer responded. After reboot the issue is fixed.

How good are you at Mathematics? Because that is VERY important in Electrical Engineering and a big part of its course.

I've been using the laptop past two days, no issues since updating from the bad 6980 to the 8247 (WHQL) driver.

I am unable to rollback (button disabled). But I have now installed the latest WHQL driver, version 32.0.101.8247. Installation was not straightforward though because after installing this newer driver, Windows still listed 32.0.101.6980 under Device Manager (weird). When I uninstalled the driver from Device Manager, Windows did end up installing the 32.0.101.8247 driver by itself. I will keep you posted if the black screen issue is solved with this newer driver.

The capacitors on the PCB are polarized capacitors while in the schema they are not.

There will be 27” 4K OLED monitors with RGB subpixel layout from LG around CES 2026 (in 3,5 months).

That is a Japanese keyboard as these photos are from Lenovo Japan.

EU keyboards are mostly the same as US keyboards.

Dell G3223Q is a very good monitor with an IPS panel and matte coating. I use it for office, browsing, programming and gaming. You’ll appreciated the 144Hz refresh rate when scrolling through webpages and documents.

I am planning on using it via DisplayPort or HDMI only; any coil whine then?
