I'm typing this on my Acer Aspire One netbook running Centos 7.

What happens is that suddenly while working away on the desktop the display suddenly goes black... not black as in turned off, I can see that the backlight is still on, but no image is displayed.

Haven't encountered that, ever.

Have you checked to insure that your bios is up to date? I have a vague memory of re-flashing the bios on this netbook at some point in the past....
