As you are getting the problem with the blank screen, it seems that there might be issue with the Graphic Driver which might be not functioning properly. I will suggest you update the graphic driver of your system which will resolve the issue if it detects the same. So do the same and let me know whether it is working for you or not.

I have updated the graphic driver but that is also not working with the issue of mine. Ihave installed the latest graphic driver which i have downloaded from the Internet and intallled the same into system of mine. But this is also not working solution for me. So if possible then let me know about some other solution of it.

Then it can be the problem of the BIOS. I will suggest you to update the BIOS of your system that might be work with your issue. If you are not aware of the BIOS update the check out the below given link which is having the discussion about the same.

I think that you should have to install the "Tpfancontrol" tools which will let you know about your system status. Just update the BIOS, Graphic Driver and with the same install the "Tpfancontrol" tools to your system which will detect the temperature of the GPU. I hope this will help you with the issue of yours.

I have tried the BIOS update but that is also not working for me. I have then installed the Tpfancontrol to the system and it is showing me the GPU in the 80's - low 90's C. I think this information will be useful for sorting out my issue.

Yes the problem is with your device itself. As you have installed the Tpfancontrol and it is showing the temperature hype in GPU it means that the GPU is having some serious issue. So you have to contact the Lenovo Tech Center for help only they can fix the problem of yours which you are getting as blank screen.
