• HP 2311 x monitor won't sleep

  I have my system my computer Setup will put my monitor to sleep after 10 minutes if the computer is idle.  The problem is that my monitor will not fall asleep.  It shows the system status menu, scan for input device, said so he'll sleep, power light goes Orange and a few seconds later he wakes. Then start the whole process again and again.  If I put the system to sleep monitor goes to sleep (didn't at first when I got until I updated the driver of HP).  I connected it to the DVI plug.

  It seems that I found my own solution and I'm posting so it can help others.  Although my computer is about 3 1/5 years it has a DVI and VGA connections for the monitor.  The HP2311x monitor has DVI, VGA and HDMI connections.  I got the screen hooked up using the DVI connection.

  I changed and hooked it up to the VGA connection.  Set the computer up so the monitor going to sleep in a minute and waited.  Monitor went to sleep and not wake up until I moved the mouse.  Tested several times more and no problem.  So apparently there's something with connections DVI monitor won't sleep when you use this connection.

• delete a block - my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available.

  When you use the internet, my virus detector asked if I would allow google chrome to download a newer version. I clicked on the decline, and then my internet has stopped working. I finally got back on, but now my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available. I was able to use other browsers, but not Google. I tried disabling my firewall to see if it would work then, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm afraid, that I blocked it somehow. Thank you!!

• Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

  Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

  Hi murphy449,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

  3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

  4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

  Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

  Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  If the previous step fails then I suggest you check the observer after return with details and events for the cause.

• P6 - 2303a won't sleep

  Hello, I have a Pavilion p6 - 2303a running Windos 8.  The computer go to sleep if I press the sleep button, but will not sleep when idle. The screen turns off, but the computer continues to operate. I checked all my advanced power settings, Windows Update, HP system, all the drivers and the antivirus, I have completely removed Norton, disabled the network drivers and spent hours trying various online solutions.  Could you please let me know if there is anything I am missing.  It makes me crazy.

  Thank you

  Thanks for your reply.  I've tried these methods, does not.

  I have narrowed down through a startup msconfig selective.  It seems that it was the process of windows Security Center that prevented from sleeping.  If I turn this off, he'll sleep as it is supposed to.
