Display turns off prematurely

I am operating Windows 7 and recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird. I put several add-ons on Thunderbird and Firefox and also changed my Windows theme. Now my screen goes black after about 30 seconds of inactivity. If I type immediately the screen or a key, it goes to my login page. She won't sleep. Display times are defined for many many more long. I removed each of the Add - ons one at a time and that made no difference. I deleted the themes I downloaded and now I'm using a custom theme. I do not uninstall Thunderbird, as this will result in hours of work and it is difficult to believe that a bug like that would be well known (Thunderbird don't think they are the problem). Could this have to do with the problems I had with Outlook after that I tried to close it-applications repeated password my kept popping up until I disabled something or other in Outlook and able to do stop.
Help!

Just for fun, take a look at this article as it can be useful as well.

  • Help: Fuze distorts the sound when the display turns off

    Hello

    Since a few days, I own my rocket. Today, I recognized the following problem:

    When the display turns off the "rocket" distorts the song. It's a bit like stuttering, it's his bad.

    When I keep the screen turned on (by clicking on the boxes or more) he playes the song of good quality.

    The EQ is set to standard.

    Has anyone experienced the same problem?

    I don't know what to do, what an individual problem of my camera (default?) or maybe a general problem? I would stay there or should I change it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Stefan

    This problem is fixed in the next firmware should be out in the next few days.

    TO work around it, just put the equalizer settings on the equalizer custom for anything other than 0,0,0,0,0

  • Tecra A4 model PTA42E light display turns off

    I have a Tecra A4 - 01400YPT PTA42E model after the laptop, after 4 or 5 minutes the screen light goes out, and I do FN + F6 or F7 (more or less light) to turn it back on. This, it is 4 or 5 times, and after that, it will work ok.
    One had this problem? I tried updates the bios, but there most recent person! One thing that is strange is that this laptop doesn't have this little button above the screen to turn off the screen when we close of laptop display, because it seems that when we push this little button, and the light goes off!

    Hi Rene

    If you want to use the options of power management you need to install the Toshiba power management utility. Do you have this tool on your device or have you used the Windows XP power management?
    To switch between the modes of use different ca you use the FN + F2 key combination.

  • Satellite L350 - display turns off during startup

    My screen laptop L350 itself turns off during startup after posting normally for about 2 seconds. It is possible to get the display back to normal if you go to sleep and then wake, but the new screen only stays on for about 2 seconds. This makes it almost impossible running the diagnostics.

    Does anyone have an idea what might happen?

    Hello

    Have you tried an external monitor?

    Perhaps the internal display is affected and needs to be replaced

  • Then the display turns off I can't get it back without force restart

    When the display switches off the power due to the low battery power & I can't get this back even when I plug it into the sector and having to force the computer to restart.
    Is there a pref somewhere to turn it off?

    Hello

    When the screen turns off, exactly? How much capacity has battery at the moment? 5 % ? More?
    Try to higher level.
    When you work with your laptop and the battery level is low battery and the alarm alert will appear in the taskbar, but you will be able to continue your work several minutes or connect the power running.

    I'm afraid that your laptop reaches the critical battery level and then maybe is too late for any action.
    Set the low battery level to 10% and when the notification is shown connect power adapter immediately.
    I imagine that the screen doesn't have to be out of all.

  • The display turns off after a few minutes and shows 'No Signal'

    Hey guys, I was faced with a weird problem recently. My desktop monitor turns off by itself after a few minutes, but the works of CPU, I can hear the fan running and see the lights blink. One thing I noticed, is that when the screen turns off, the light Orange on the processor rest on which flashes normally just. My PC works normally on the mode without failure, but worse, safe mode, but I can't work on my software CorelDRAW. This may be the problem of SMPS? because recently, my entries of mouse and keyboard did not work due to which I got a USB keyboard and a mouse. I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit, but I think that shouldn't cause the problem since I have worked with Windows 64-bit before on the same machine.

    PC configuration-

    Intel Core 2 Duo 4500 @ 2.20 Ghz processor
    ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard
    3 GB RAM
    No (not sure, maybe integrated) graphics card
    1 TB harddrive

    PS - I couldn't find an exact category for my problem.

    Hey Archer
    Currently, I formatted my Windows 7 and installed Windows 8 and am these problems persist. I have not upgraded but formatted my C drive and installed a fresh new copy of windows 8... so I thnk it may be a problem of the SMP. Can he?

    Hi sunny

    It can or mentioned being SMPS... the reason is... you have already said that the computer or the monitor works fine in safe mode! But since his past even when you install Windows 8,
    To make troubleshooting a
    1. go to the Bios and reset all default by selecting the optimum setting in the bios... Given that your motherboard has got characteristic overclocking and selection of the IGD... let him get by default...  Start the computer and check if the monitor turns off always.
    2. If step 1 does not solve your problem... then go to the power option in the control panel and select your power setting of the high-performance system where you can set your monitor to never go to sleep.  See what's happening... If the monitor still going to sleep even after this setting... then you have a problem with drivers or the motherboard... try updating the drivers and see if that helps.
    3. If the update of drivers did not help... so the next option is to review your material... try to get a replacement screen and see if this could solve this problem... A things you can deduct that if this also fails, then the obvious reason is that your monitor is ok... and problem must be the motherboard.
    4. Firstly check the display port... does it feel loose?
    a. do you have this port pins come out?
    b. your motherboard has two power connections (EATXPWR 24-pin and a 4-pin ATX 12V... are both connected?
    c. your SMP should be at least 400W according to recommendations from the manufacturer to you. Check this box...
    d. then ofcourcse obviously... Reinstall the Rams and other external devices.
    Follow these steps and let me know your comments for each
  • WIFI Disconnection as soon as the display turns off Z3

  • HP Pavilion DV6-6117dx - horizontal flickering lines appear after the display turns off automatically

    The DV6-6117dx model (as well as other HP Pavilion laptops) have experienced a problem where the screen will display a flickering, horizontal line to the top of the screen, after it has been automatically disabled (note: not in sleep or Standby Mode).

    There is a setting to "off the display of [X] minutes" in power options.  I have my DV6-6117dx value dim the screen after 10 minutes and turn it off after 15 minutes of inactivity.  Sometimes, but not always, when I move the mouse to turn the screen back on, a couple of flickering horizontal lines will appear at the top of the screen.  It is very annoying, and the only way to remove them and to have the screen back to normal is one.) put the computer to sleep and wake it or b.) restart the entire system.

    Everything by putting the laptop to sleep and wake-up is not a huge problem, I wouldn't do that, period.  I owned a laptop Toshiba for about 6 years and never had a problem with her like this (the reason why I bought a new laptop was because my old man was 6 years old and the technology was outdated a lot, a lot).

    HP says it's a software problem, but it did come with a way to fix it yet (at least not that I've found).  I ask all the 'Experts' out there if they have a final way to solve this common issue experienced by some models of HP laptops?  I said to uninstall and reinstall video drivers without success.  I said to install video drivers only to AMD, and then only to HP, and then only from Windows Update, but none of these solutions worked.  I said to update BIOS, but it does not solve the problem.  I told him to try to restore the system to the factory settings, but this did not help.  It is obviously a software problem, but nobody at HP seems to have a definitive solution, how to fix it.  Is my only hope to return to my laptop to be replaced by a different model entirely?

    I hope that someone out there has an answer, it's a common issue that I know a lot of owners of portable HP experienced.  Thank you!

  • Equium A110-233 display turns off and after some time return on

    After that 2 weeks of using this laptop, it began display off Middle switching operation. The screen is barely visible, not enough to see the pointer to stop. Also ceases to stop orders is the power button. After a short time he returned once again. Is this a common fault, I have not yet searched the forum, need a quick fix / help for a new student to the University. Thank you

    HI Michael,

    It comes to definitelt completely not normal behavior for all Toshiba laptops. Your description of the problem indicates a problem with the inverter FL. It is a small device that offers the backlight of the LCD screen. If your laptop is only 2 weeks then it will certainly be under warranty then I suggest you only to contact the vendor of your laptop to make arrangements for it to be repaired.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro 6000 display turns off sometimes

    Hello

    I hope someone can shed some light on a problem with a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 that I can't seem to get to the bottom.

    The laptop has Windows XP Professional installed and works fine, except for the fact that intermittently (could be 5 minutes, maybe 90 minutes) the display screen is what I can only describe as 'blocks '.

    The o/s plant (I ran BACK and Tests of diagnosis when the problem occurred) I would say movement of waves of mouse to the screen and activity HARD drive software continues running, except the screen is unreadable with blocks of color scheme.

    Any ideas or suggestions as to what this could be, and how I could go about repairing it?

    Hello

    It's very strange question.
    Have you tried to update the graphics driver? If not then please select this option.

    Besides if the update doesn't fix this eventually it there something wrong with the hardware. In this case, it is not easy to say what could be wrong.
    In your case, I recommend you connect the external monitor if the problem occurs.
    If the color blocks will also appear on the external monitor so eventually the graphics card or motherboard is corrupt.

    But, if the problem occurs only on the internal laptop display, so I would say that there is something wrong with the display or the FL-inverter.
    In this case, you should contact the technicians to solve this problem, because guys have more experience than each common user like me and you.

    Good luck
