Okay, now here is a weird thing.

I just unplugged a USB cable that was, in turn, connected to a 
microcontroller. My screen went blank. When I plugged in back in it went 
blank again. This happened about 4 times until I could plug and unplug 
without the blanking. I left it for 30-odd seconds and was able to do 
the same thing. It did not happen when I unplugged my computer keyboard, 
or my USB camera.

Does this give anyone any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike
