Help Screen goes black although it is still responsive

I just got my X about a week ago. It has been working great and I love it. But yesterday when playing jewels the screen just went black. The phone is still on but screen is black. It began to display again after about a minute. Now since then it seems to happen any time my phone has to process anything. If I browse the net it will work for a couple minutes then black screen. If I try to play any game it will last a couple minutes then goes to black screen. I tried to use google maps and that instantly turned the screen black.

Other info: Like I said the screen does eventually turn itself back on but it takes anywhere from 1-2minutes. I have done multiple battery pulls but it doesn't help. I am running Launcher Pro. Phone calls can still come in when the screen is black. And the screen is still responsive because I can answer the call. The screen is not shut off because I can see the glow of the screen although it is just black.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?
