I was searching through some old pics and I saw this and I thought I would share it:



Story:

On my old laptop(Tosh 1115 w/ ATI M6 gfx ), I use to wake my laptop up from standby to this pretty mess of a desktop. I fixed it by installing new(at the time) 3rd party drivers(luckily some people care about old GPUs).



Moral of the story:

Keep your drivers up to date.

If I can save one person from this then my mission is complete



But yeah it was annoying especially if you have friends or family members who think by closing the lcd cover, it turns off the laptop(I had it set to go into standby when lid is closed)
