Idle screen goes blank and unable to wake up

when im playing music I usually put my screensaver for about 15 minutes. It works great when I use it for windows or my images, but recently on a screen saver program I bought online which worked well for a while, then that seems to me now have problems.it starts well on command but in about 15 minutes my computer enters an empty state without displaying anything and my music stops playing then I touch any key and it goes upwards, so what do you think could be my problem?

Thanks, Mcpseudo

Hello Mcpseudo,

    Hello aqua9teen1,

    Go to control panel, click Action Center. See if there are errors listed there. You may need to expand to see all questions.

    Then I'd suggest that you update your video drivers. If you have a computer that you purchased in a retail store, then you can go to the computer manufacturer and see if they have updated drivers. Or you can also go to the manufacturer of the adapter driver updates and videos.

    Please answer back with an update.

    Sincerely,

  • Satellite C screen goes blank and only the visible mouse pointer

    Hello

    My laptop Windows 8 is a couple of months

    Today, when I try to start it shows the splash screen and then the screen turns black with only the pointer of the mouse showing.

    I can move the pointer on the screen, but windows does not load.

    What happens if you go to the BIOS by pressing F2 while turning on the laptop?
    You see the BIOS screen and all the BIOS settings?
    Could connect you external monitor to the laptop just to check the 2nd display?

    In which case it's just a software related issue, you should be possible to repair the system using the Toshiba HDD recovery or the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Have you checked one of the procedures mentioned?

    The comments appreciated.

  • (Dell LCD) screen goes blank when I connect. Requires the switching on of the screen on and outside

    (Dell LCD) screen goes blank when I connect.  Requires power to the power on and off screen, at least 15 to 20 times before picture stays on.  Any suggestions? No to the problem site so don't have the model numbers.  Dell computer and about 8 years.

    Looks like your monitor is having problems sync-ing for the resolution settings that you have defined for your monitor.  When you get your screen is displayed, right-click on an empty area of your desktop-> properties-> (tab) settings.

    Then, in the 'Screen Resolution' area, try to move the cursor to the end of 'Less' and click 'apply '.  It will then try to change to this new resolution.  If your screen is empty for now, just wait about 30 seconds and it will return to the previous resolution (which can mean that you need to power cycle your monitor you have done to get it back)-otherwise accept the settings if your display looks OK.  Try to find a solution that works with your monitor.  It is also possible that your monitor is going bad.

    ===============================
    I don't know what is causing this problem but would be
    suspicious, it is related to a corrupted or obsolete
    video driver.

    Might be interesting to try to reduce your graphics
    Hardware acceleration instructions
    in the following article.

    How to put in back of graphics hardware acceleration
    http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00129_How_to_set_graphics_hardware_acceleration_back.htm
    (scroll down to: "If you are using Windows 2000 or XP")

    If they improve the question, you should look for the
    site Web of MFG. your video card
    a updated driver Win XP compatible video. Or...
    If your computer is a laptop... Search support
    site of the manufacturer of your computer.

    If you do not know the make and model of your
    Video adapter, see the documentation that
    supplied with the computer.

    Also you can find info on your video by driver
    go to Device Manager: you can launch
    By clicking Device Manager on... Start/run and
    type or copy / paste:
    devmgmt.msc
    And then press ENTER.

    Expand "Graphics cards" and right click
    the name of your graphics... then
    choose... Properties / tab pilot... FYI.

    You should find the make and model of your
    adapter display as well as the version of the driver.

    If the driver on the Web site is no longer
    current than you run...
    Download and install it. In addition, installation
    instructions that should be followed closely
    should be available on the support site.

    Once installed the new video driver... you
    can restore your full acceleration.

    Good luck...

    Hello mcbethtings:

    Welcome to Hp forum. Your question is not in the list. http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=56801&tmp_task=solveCategory&CC=UK&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=4100044 So, in this case I sujest a restore back to remove what are the mistakes caused by a bad AVG update. GoTo all programs search and type in Recovery Manager click that above and open it. Click Yes (white box) so it apears. Select Microsoft System Restore Click next to three windows now you will see a list of dates, select a date prior to the installation of the update, then click. Let the computer do its restoration. Once done see if your problem is solved, if so try the update again, make you that the update is for 64-bit Windows 7 computers before you download it again. If that happens again once you know what AVG is not compatible for your computer.

    Probably you have only received part of the witch update caused this problem due to the disruption of atmospheres. Sometimes this happens. Put day of my HP only made once. I just did a restore back and downloaded the update again and the second time through work. Please click on Bravo if this solves your problem. Thank you frrw.

    You normally get beeps and it does not start.
