I’d be reluctant to believe it…if I hadn’t spent hours just upgrading to CS4 (I won’t go into the legendary problems which plague Adobe’s installers). Seems like Adobe is the culprit as the problem has *never* happened before, and has happened every day since the very day I installed CS4. I don’t know how long is required but it’s more than a few minutes (so it’s not a simple reset) and it’s only been a few days and so far I’ve just gotten frustrated and left it over night – so it certainly could be related to cooling down. The only thing that seems to fix it is shutting it down for a time. Pull the plug to my desktop and plug it into my laptop, and it works just fine. I took out the video card and it was, indeed, black on the intake with fine dust, so I cleaned that as best I could. But the screen itself is pitch black, off entirely. The display itself responds to being turned on and off using the power button on the side (that is, the tiny light on the front turns on and off…). The rest of the system is fine (I have a laptop so I can peek in and control it remotely), and everything is just as I left it. I upgraded to CS4 the other day, and starting that night my system (a Mac Pro with the Radeon x1900 card) I have had issues with my display – that is, sometimes the display won’t work after waking from sleep. I’m having a slightly different problem, but it fits in with what others are saying.
