• Screen goes black after 15 minutes?

  Hello

  I plugged my Compaq 420 on my HD TV via a VGA cable.

  Now, I love watching videos of youtube on my HD TV.

  However, the screen goes black after about 15 minutes. So I have to move my mouse to bring up the screen again.

  I thought it was the standby screen so I changed the setting to 60 minutes, but still the screen goes black after 15 minutes of watching the video.

  If I move the mouse whenever a whilte (entry reachs 15 minutes) the screen becomes black ever so I move the mouse every time some time when I look at something more than the 15 minutes. but I don't want to get up from the couch every 10 minutes so please help change me the setting so that the screen is not black.

  In Control Panel > options, click choose when turn off the displayof power "on the left side of the screen and changing the settings Never to"on battery"and"Plugged in"

  

• Equium P300-16 t - screen goes black after 5 minutes

  I'm a total novice when it comes of laptops so not even sure if I use it properly, but if his left not used sometimes for even 5mns, the screen becomes black and cannot not be woken up with pressing keys or the mouse.

  The other lights are all on but when I try to unpress the NumLock light is frozen. The only way to fix is to turn off and on again. I'm on windows vista.

  Any help at all would be appreciated.

  Hey mate,

  You can see the same problem on an external monitor or this only happens on an intern? In addition, it would be interesting to know what display driver that you have installed and if you use the preinstalled operating system.
  Also, update the display driver could also be helpful in this case.

  It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem and in the worst case, it s a hardware problem and something should be replaced. :(

• Screen turns off after 1 minute

  I'm at the end of my rope here. I searched every value that I can find in the Panel control (under the display and Power Mgmt), but regardless of these settings, the screen goes black after 1 minute. If I press a key or mouse pad, it appears immediately.

  I don't know if you Google Asus supports, you will find the answer you're looking for. Or you could buy a nice new Acer...!

• HP HDX 16 t Premium - screen goes black after a few seconds

  Just today my screen started going black out of no where (when I played StarCraft 2, a high-performance PC game.) Now, he's doing regularly (after a few seconds to about one minute.) It's almost as if my computer goes into mode 'sleep' but I can't wake up. This happens less often when I put the brightness of my screen on a lower setting, and tends to fade before going to black instead of going just instantly black. I also have an external monitor attached, and when my laptop monitor goes black the external display remains lit and fully operational.

  Some things to note:

  -The power cord is attached and plugged in, and turned on my computer.

  -J' have a cooling block and my computer is not overheating.

  -The battery has full juice.

  -J' tried to restart my computer several times and still have the same problem.

  -C' is the case even when I'm not running high performance games or programs.

  -My settings to be able to tell my computer never sleep, decrease intensity after 10 minutes (5 minutes for the battery) and the screen turns off after 20 minutes (15 minutes on the battery.)

  -When the laptop screen is on the brightest display settings, it seems to be flickering.

  I did some research and it seems to be a problem with the LCD capacitors going bad. If anyone can check this? If this is the case, is there a way I can replace and where would I do my shopping?

  Thanks in advance

  These are as common as dirt

  Look at page 3-9 for the part number of the inverter.

  Lamp of Duel 496467-001

  Unique lamp 488317-001

  If it's a double lamp, there will be four wires coming out of the bottom of the screen and a unique lamp will count two. You won't suddenly sure until you take it apart.

  You can also Google the correct reference to find a third party retailer and there's the HP parts store, but they are usually expensive.

• Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

  I left by mistake a USB in the port when I restarted my computer (Windows 7).

  Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

  If I press ESC during startup and access the start menu, something marked WED... is highlighted and I press on enter and it starts normally.

  How can I get Windows 7 to do a normal boot without having to access the Boot Menu each time?

  Thank you.

  Tried that, but it did not work.  Finally got and IT guy come and it took him 3 1/2 hours to repair.

  Need a bootable floppy which has then repairs itself.

  Lesson learned.  Have an available for each computer startup disk.

• Why my monitor goes black after a minute?

  I have my standby power setting to turn off the monitor after 15 minutes when it is plugged.  But if I don't move the mouse or press a key for a minute, the screen goes black.  It's very embarrassing, especially if I watch a video.

  Is there another setting somewhere that says monitor going black after a minute of no activity?

  Thank you

  PAM

  Hi Pam,.

  Here's another setting worth it.

  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select Personalize.  Click the link to screensaver at the bottom right.  In the next window, adjust the time before the screensaver kicks in the drop "Wait" to a more acceptable value.  Click on apply, then Ok to save the change of the parameter.

  Kind regards

• My computer 'mysteriously' randomly stalls every few minutes

  It is a fact. There are some 'ghosts' that nobody seems to know how to fight in Windows. Engineer, in 40 years, and as such, I've seen a few. My computer 'mysteriously' stops randomly every few minutes. Meters show the RAM and CPU have more than enough resources, when the stalls occur. Temperature OK. Does anyone how "ghostbust" (in practice, directly to the solution, no speculation, please) my computer? Thank you, Julian, julianort, gmail.

  [Original title: stall]

  You can open Event Viewer and review the events and see if there is no event suspicious or something related to this issue. When this happens open Task Manager and into resources. You can also look in the resource monitor and see what is happening in your system.
