Screen keeps blacking out

I have some other problems associated with the screen blacking out after
I've typed in my password on the welcome screen and entered it. It then
brings me to my account, but if I don't start clicking on icons (I
usually click on Mozilla Firefox) to get the computer going, the screen
blacks out on me. Why does this happen?

It's not a hibernation problem, I don't think, because I've set up the
power options so that the computer hibernates after 15 min of idleness,
but I haven't even been on the computer for 15 min, and the computer
shuts off. The screen goes black, but the light bulb and battery meter
lights are still on green.

Another problem I have is that it takes me around 15-20 seconds
(sometimes less) each to press the power button so that the computer may
shut down/turn on. Also, if I don't pres the button long enough, the
computer may not shut down or it doesn't fully turn on. The light bulb
would turn green, but the screen remains black. This didn't use to
happen. Neither did the black screen coming on now and again. Even as I
type this, I'm afraid my computer will black out on me suddenly.
