I have the same problem.  It started all of sudden and I really can't find any one reason that causes it.  The screen (actually I think it is only the backlight sometimes) just turns off and back on again some time later.  I did also notice that the green light by the earpiece now flashes green and then orange, which indicates a low battery...I think.  However, the battery is fully charged and the battery status indicator also shows fully charged.  I just did a fully reset back to factory and all of the same issues are present...including the green / orange flashing light.  I am not using tornado.  I was thinking maybe it does have something to do with the battery, but it just happened again with the phone plugged in and charging.  I am out of ideas.

I think I figured it out.  It seems to be the battery, which fits with the fact that light by the earpiece was flashing "green" then "amber".  I borrowed a battery from a friends S710, swapped it into my phone, and I have not had the problem since.  Just as a point of information, my brother's S710 had the infinite boot loop problem where the phone would constantly restart.  HTC recommended a new battery and sure enough, it solved his problem as well.  I would have never thought that the battery would cause those problems.
