I have a 2010 mbp 15in lowend i5 with antiglare screen.
Recently the screen has been randomly going blank, for no particular reason. It doesn't seem to be tied to any particular program or anything. What happens is, i'll be typing, browsing, or skypeing, and the screen will suddeny just go black, all that is visable is my mouse curser on a black screen. When this happened using skype, the person was still able to see and hear me during the whole blackout period. Then, after a few minutes, the screen will magically work again.

I have also had 2 kernal panics within the past week. Does anyone know anything that could be causing this problem, or that could help me to fix my problem.
