Never try out a laptop, but screen going blanks seem wrong video kexts.
Don't know cause never try out that hardware, but, ...
1. backup your actually Extensions folder
2. remove every graphics kexts. or the one u're using now. so u have to use default graphics.
3. install the custom (osx86) kexts. (this one u have to find out what kext u need cause it depends on your hardware).
IMPORTANT: Backup all your're data first
you can backup your current install, making a DMG image with "Disk Utility" , or if u haven't any important data (like u said), just try that, and if fails, reinstall
