ARC Screen Blanks Out

I'm not sure if it's a genuine bug or just my Toshiba laptop but every so often my ARC screen goes completely blank. Has this happened to anyone else. I have to be careful when it happens because if I save when I get out of it I loose the profile I was using (all the commands and scripts of that build).

I have 4 motors that I want to control with a H-bridge. Looking at the hook up to the EZ-B control board it takes 5 pins to control 1 motor or 2 if you want them to run the same. So to control 4 motors it will take 20 pins? That will leave no room to control anything else. confused HOW
