I am working on a Windows Embedded Standard 2009 project deploying on an Atom powered tablet. We have some known Windows bug check crashes (BSOD) that I am working through. We also have a bug where the tablet becomes unresponsive with the screen off; requireing a hard power cycle to recover. I am pursuing a theory that the unresponsive tablet is a BSOD crash that happened with the screen off. We have EWF turned on which prevents a memory dump from writing to know if a BSOD occurred. We turn the monitor off after user inactivity using user32.dll `SendMessage(Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, MONITOR_OFF)`.

Will a Windows bug check (BSOD) turn on the monitor if it was turned off previously programmatically?

Thanks!
