Computer screen will not wake up with notifications present

[Jeb E.]

When logged into my accounts, such as Facebook and Google and when I have notifications present, specifically messages in Empathy, my computer screen will not wake up if the computer is locked. The screen itself notices the mouse movements and wakes up, but what I mean is that the screen stays a dark blank color. I can't get any response from the computer once this happens, and I have to force a reboot every time this happens.

Please fix, I have more information if needed :)
