I found out the cause seems to be related to any resource eating program.
For example, for people using Messenger, while messenger retrieves status update, try turning your screen off. Big chance you will get a SOD right there. Wait a while, 1 minute or so (or however long it normally takes for messenger to finish updating personal status), and try turning on the screen again. If I wait 1 minute or so, 100% of the time the screen turns on. I NEVER had to soft reset.
Another time I experience it is as soon as I boot up the cellphone. While windows is still loading (below the task manager arrow appears), try turning the screen off. Again, big chance you will experience SOD. Wait a lil and the screen will work again.

The system booting up part I can't be too sure, but for Windows Live Messenger, I am VERY sure that it's the cause. Any cooks out there with possible solutions?

I just did a flash dance, so I tried this on Mr. X's 2.5 rom, then Stock sprint WinMo 6.1, then on Mighty's War. I didn't experience it. *shrug*
