screen on my laptop going entirely black for a few seconds then returns to normal TIA

I think a bit more info is required. What make is your laptop? How old is it?. Is it resting on a solid surface when it 'blanks-out'?

It could be that a display driver is faulty and it might be possible to download one from the manufacturer's official site.

Does it return to normal of its own accord or do you have to press something?
