Color scheme changing based whenever I plug in the power cable

Hi, recently I have a very annoying problem.

Whenever I plug or on the power cable the entire screen "blinks" a few times, shows a ToolTip really fast (I caught with a print screen and it says: "the color scheme was changed to Windows 7 Basic.) A running program is not compatible with certain Visual elements of Windows. Click here for more information. ("I can't click as it closes quickly) and then the screen is back to normal.

Well, it's kind of normal. Open windows are becoming fully optimized not and if I'm on youtube then the video becomes really small, but if I reduce the window and open it again then it's good.

It wasn't really a problem for me until yesterday when it happens again and became a black chrome, which has been opened until I plugged in the cable, and it took a few minutes before it returned to normal (unless I closed and opened again).

I tried already in the system-> performance options properties to select the 'Adjust to improve the appearance"and it did not work.

Unfortunately, I see no option here to post a screenshot of that.

In any case, I have HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 Home Premium.

I have enough disk space in my computer and the programs that are open, when I do this are usually office (word or excel for most) and chrome.

What can I do to fix this annoying problem?

Try these:

1 make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Check the HP website for the latest drivers.

2. make sure that the power plan that you use is not set to Power Saver. To check, go to Control Panel > system and security > Power Options.

3. make sure that your computer has enough memory when you unplug the power cable. To check, do a right-click the taskbar, click Task Manager, and under the performance tab, verify the amount of memory is used. If it is more than 70%, you are running low on memory. Try closing some programs and then see if the problem persists.

4. run the Aero troubleshooter. See this link for instructions: Open the Aero Troubleshooter.

  • MS A30 - battery charging when I plug in the power cable

    Hello

    I'm having some problems with (I think) on my A30 power management utility. When I am running on battery power and I plug in the power cable, the battery continues to discharge even if the laptop 'knows' that it runs on the power grid (ie the utility says "current generator: alternating current.") "Online, discharges: 82%. Strangely, if I put the laptop in mode 'sleep', then resume, she goes back to normal (i.e. working on current alternative, the battery charges).

    It is true, I think that this began after I installed "PC Pitstop optimize Scan" www.pcpitstop.com (please, not conferences - I used a couple of their public services before and they were very good, so I thought it would be too much), so I guess it's some sort of configuration problem, but I have no idea where to go from here. I went through all the options on the power management utility, but they all look sensitive. Any ideas (other than do not install software stupid, doubtful)?

    Kenny

    Hi Kenny,

    I experienced this behavior on my A30 where the system says it works on current alternative, but still drains the battery and stops eventually.

    In my case the problem has proved to be a loose DC Jack that sometimes cuts off contact with the socket on the back of the laptop. This momentary loss of power DC seems to provoke the power management utility switch to battery power, even though the DC power is restored. The only way out of this situation is to Hibernate / restarting the laptop.

    I think that it is a problem with the power supply subsystem in the laptop that does not react properly when it encounters a momentary loss of DC. Then the Toshiba power management utility is no longer responds correctly and switches to the battery power.

    My only solution to this was to anchor the DC cable to the back of my A30 so that there is now no chance of the plug DC moving in its socket. This has proved to be very effective for my A30 and I've had no recurrence of the problem.

    Hi there @emonsonjaya,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I understand that your notebook is turn on/off automatically when it is plugged. I'm happy to help you.

    I would recommend that you look at your BIOS, especially in power options and check if your BIOS has a setting option on automatically. If yes it change at your convenience.  Another option would be to update your BIOS and see if that solves it.

    Here is the page of support for your model and, if necessary, give it a try, it will automatically download the file if you click on the link. You then need to run the executable file of your current download folder.

  • Satellite L750 slows after plugging in the power supply

    Hello everyone

    It's almost a year since I have TOSHIBA L750-12 model q PSK2YE-05P00RPL.
    Since the beginning, I noticed strange shares: when the battery becomes low at 10% and I plug the power supply everything starts to work slowly (for example I can see frames when using the webcam)
    also, web sites load very slowly or not at all. It's doing my work on laptop almost impossible.
    When this problem occurs, there are a few bugs in Event Viewer:

    Event 37, kernel-processor-Power
    "The speed of the CPU 0 in group 0 is restricted by the system firmware. The processor is in this state of reduced performance for 71 seconds since the last report. »

    I thought it was the power supply problem or motherboard to power so I sent the laptop to the service. Technical support only changed the BIOS to version 3.60 [there is not an another atm version] and he has not solved anything.
    I searched the internet and I found that this failure can occur because of the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology option, but unfortunately I can not disable it in the BIOS.

    I read that there was problem simillar with for example Portege R835-P84 and new BIOS helped and solved this.

    Please help :(

    PS Sorry for my English.

    I also imagine that new and modified BIOS can help with this, but if Toshiba doesn't offer it there is nothing you can do, especially with the SpeedStep technology options.

    Maybe stupid question now, but when you connect the battery change the plan power high performance is a laptop s performance difference?

    > I found the power options, but all that it gives me a choice of power management, which is energy-saving Toshiba which corresponds to the current setting, I see nothing wireless on the tabs it?

    You must discover the power plan that is used when the power adapter is attached.
    Then, you click on change the power plan settings

    New window would be open where you will find an extra option called change advanced power settings

    Now you will see further options. Scroll down the settings of the wireless adapter and make sure both options are set on the performance

  • Trying to find the plug and the power upgrade in a HP Pavilion Elite m9177c

    First time posting here so I hope I chose the right place for my question.

    I currently have a HP Pavilion Elite m9177c as a tempoarily computer until I can build my own. He was works fine but I found that this computer for all its good specs has only a 8500GT no idea why parent obtained through costco and gave it to use when my dell power supply gone bad and must be replaced.

    So I chose an EVGA 9800 GT

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814130534

    But I discovered that my HP probably has just one power 350 watts (checked online still need to open the case to be exact, before buying it) while the card requires 400 watts accoring to the details.

    I tried to call HP support for dimensions and wattage supply type, but it was a chore. One guy said all the power supplies have the same size (maybe he meant the hp ones for my computer, but he never said so), another guy told me that without a guarantee that he could not even tell me the power and the third Lady said my dimensions are 9.6 inches by 9.6 inches or 24 centimeters. (do not know if she was trying to give me a microatx measure and I misunderstood the 3 as a 9 or what.) And the first guy claims it was a micro-ATX Power Supply, while the other comes from say atx.

    So after some googling I found these links

    1. http://www.censuspc.com/HP-Hewlett-Packard-5188-2859-350-Watt-SIRAH-350-Replacement-Desktop-PC-Power... - this seems to be what I have but he calls it the ATX 12v version

    2.http://www.911forpcs.com/5188-2859.html - this seems to be something I could go too, but I don't know if I might be better off with a full-on name brand like Corsair.

    3.http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01736200 - this is a different model of Pavilion Elite but so far it looks like mine how. The same video, for some reason any does not exist on the page for my model.

    I found two feeds that seem to fit the same dimensions as in link #1, but a larger 0.1 inch on a measure, but I hope that my hp case allows a slight wiggleroom.

    1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 - a 600 watt Corsair

    2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153151 - a 530 Watt Thermaltake

    Was just curious to know if anyone has better info on what exactly is in my case, and what is the best food to buy. I still intend opening the case before buying but just moved and such and call help tech kind of wore out me. I wanted to anyway just say that the computer has been much less the thing of the graphics card. Thank you

    Hello

    Type HP power supply (PSU) dimensions for cabinets mid-turn are: 5.9 by 3.4 by 5.5 inches.  If you get a power supply that is longer you might have problems of space between the PSU and the optical drives.  In addition, there are a stabilizing latch that cannot secure the PSU of stirring. This is a minor issue you should aware of your PC should be buy a power supply which is longer than the typical POWER HP block.

    The Corsair and both Thermaltake excellent food.  I would give the go-ahead for the CX600 Corsair ($50 after rebate) based on the cost, the total power available and the efficiency rating.

    This power supply is typical for your PC based on the part number indicated by HP PartSurfer.

  • B40-30 screen fades on W10 when the power cable is plugged

    Hi all!
    Couple B40-30 weeks bought it y a. upgrade to Windows Home 64-bit 10, then did a clean install of W10. Installed all the drivers required from the Lenovo site.
    After that (I don't remember what it was like before the clean install) I faced the problem: when I plug in the adapter the screen turns black (gray). When I unplug the cable screens becomes visible. Laptop is not actually usable while it is on the power grid.
    I suspect that there is something wrong with the power management settings.
    Any help would be kindly apreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, updated the BIOS. Problem ended. However - Thanks for the help and good luck!
