Black screen, rapidly blinking cursor, no ctrl-alt-del
I am having a problem that- after the huge problem I had some weeks ago- have made me worried.
My pc is a panasonic notebook running windows 10. It is connected to a power plug that is somehow special- I don't know if that is the problem or not. (the plug disconnects itself after no use of some time)
Anyway, sometimes when I leave the pc idle for some time Without any warning, without any screen saver (by the way, does windows 10 still have screensavers, I couldnt find them) the screen goes black. any intent to do something makes the cursor appears as a arrow, blinking furiously. Nothing else can be done. No ctrl-alt-del or esc works.
The only solution is to turn it off and on manually. then everything goes ok until it happens again
sometimes if I leave it idle for a long time, I can recover it, but if I try to go again immediately after it went black, then it is all over.
How can I solve this?

My traumatic experience I mentioned was that my brand new windows 10 machine went awful for a n entire week last time. I re-installed windows 10 like 5 times, and nothing worked. The machine was impossible to work . It took me 1hour and a half to launch one program. office was unworkable.
Turns out the problem was windows defender. It should have disabled itself automatically when another antivirus was installed but it didn't. I did it manually and now the machine works fast and ok (except for the thing I post above)
