    Hello

    It is very rare for not working. Make sure that the computer is completely shut down. To make sure that the computer is shutdown, you can try to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds straight, and once done. Press the power button once and keep tapping F8 or F10 as many times as you can.

    If it still does not work.

    Based on the specifications of your computer, you should have a Help button on the top of your keyboard. While the computer is completely shut down. Press the Assist.

    If all else fails, I fear that already corrupt FBI Virus even your recovery partition then its time to get a recovery media disk. You can contact - parts and accessories for the 800-488-7669.

  • ENVY of HP dv7 w / Win 8.1 freezes after the closing and re-opening of lid

    Computer: HP dv7 ENVY

    Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 QM 2.7 GHz

    OS: Windows 8.1

    Graphics Card & Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M (worm 331.82)

    Since the passage of Win 8.0 to 8.1, my laptop does not respond to the new entry after the closing and reopening of the cover.  As an attempt to circumvent the problem, in Control Panel (Control Panel > hardware and sound > Power Options > System Settings) I selected 'doing nothing' for preferences "when I close the lid.  After having opened the lid, tab browser fail to loa, windows cannot be enabled/disabled and CTRL-ALT-DEL gives no answer (preventing access to even the Task Manager).  The computer must be restarted to continue in force.

    This solution seems to have worked, even if I do not know why the four actions that were "resolved" by the resolution of the problems of power would cause the issue.

    Thank you!

  • Screen turns black during a short period of time and after 5 seconds on the Satellite A200-1DN

    Hey there
    I have a little problem with my computer, when I start a game, more games, age of empires 3, nfs most wanted, grand theft auto: vice city etc, the screen turns black during the game and then corrects itself after a few seconds, it becomes boring xtremely, especially when you are in the middle of something.
    After that the game closed in the lower right of the screen in the taskbar, a pop up appears saying my display driver has stopped responding, resulting in at least 5 different file names that have stopped responding.

    I have a Toshiba TFT screen with direct x 10(which might be the problem with the older games,i think!).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    My computer configuration is the graphics card with 1.5 GB of RAM, vista and intel 950 processor intel dual core.
    THX.

    Have you tried to play a game designed to run under Vista OS or you have noticed that play WXP games on your laptop preinstalled Vista. If possible, try to get the Vista game and test it again.

    I wonder if something goes wrong, while playing older games WXP on Vista platform.

  • laptop won't restart after being closed briefly

    Hi @hawkeye440 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read on your HP Pavilion g6-1b60us Notebook and get a white or black screen at startup. Try perform a reset.

    When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    Hope this helps you.

    Thank you.

    Hi John,.

    Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.

    Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • On the Satellite A210-14 t LCD screen turns black randomly

    For several days, I have the problem, my lcd screen turns black all of a sudden, the 'photo' is just disappearing. but the backlight is still and the system is still running (which happens most of the time in battery mode)
    When I close the laptop, pc goes into stand-by mode and so I open the pc again and the screen works again
    But this isn't really a solution.
    What can I do? Fresh grafix drivers are installed.

    BTW:
    I use WinXP

    HM, how long do you want the machine. Maybe you should check the powersaver for battery operation parameters when the display is sharp because it can be a characteristic powersaver the screen turns off.

    If please check your powersaver settings and set the time when the screen turns off at maximum or turn it off, then check if the error appears again.

    Would appreciate the your part feedaback. :)

  • Satellite P100-473 - suddenly the screen turns black

    Hello

    Since a few days, I have a problem with my Satellite P100-473 (with Vista Home installed recently + teamspeak only) after you have installed the latest version of Nero (maybe a detail)
    and do not know how, all of a sudden the screen went black.
    I so reboot and still black but the laptop properly started, the screen is activated (light up/down).
    I'm trying not to switch the display on an external monitor (VGA and DVI) no signal.
    I remove the battery for a few minutes.

    After a lot of irritation I gave it a week, I am again yesterday and after two tests display return with an error (such as a debug message), I forgot to note due to the excitement... ten minutes later same problem again:'(.)
    Yesterday before restarting the screen, I wait to start completely > type my password > sound > wait a minute > and type ESC / enter key at random.

    Can you please help me to find the source of this problem and maybe the solution to solve?

    Thank you very much for your future assistance, I hope you understand my pathetic English
    Best regards

    Hello

    Wait. You said you use external LCD and an external LCD related to this laptop.
    Do you use an external monitor Samsung, and maybe have you installed MagicTune software on your laptop?
    Please check this box.

    As far as I know software Samsung MagicTune can permanently disable the integrated computer Toshiba LCD display screen. Why?
    Because the MagicTune software is designed for use with desktop computers that do not have a built-in LCD screen.
    If your integrated LCD display has been disabled by the MagicTune software, you will need to make an arrangement for repair with a Toshiba authorized Service partner.

    But I hope that you have not installed this software.

  • BlackBerry Z30 don't switch call to the speaker using the navigation. Screen went black accept after phone call.

    I have this problem no need of me.

    While driving and use any software of navigation, such as:

    1. built in maps

    2 Waze

    3 NavFree

    If someone calls me, I can take the call. But immediately, the screen went black.

    I can't switch the call to the speakerphone. After random seconds, to switch screen might look for a second glance, and then the entire screen turned black.

    Although it is black screen, I can't do anything, including trying to drag up to close current app/call.

    Maybe it's something to do with the Navigation periodly software disables screen timeout?

    Hello, Yes,.

    Is this the same problem as described here:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-Z30/Z30-keeping-the-dial-pad-quot-lit-quot-when-in...

    Discussion on how the screen turns black during a regular call, it is impossible, for example, to listen to a call and to have the keypad remains lit, so you can press the right numbers while dealing with an automated reception, was doing phone banking, or using any other system that relies on automated messages.

    The problem came down to how some people take their phone (especially when trying to listen to the guests and press the right button at the same time).  The solution has been to hold the phone differently.  So my question would be whether the phone is blacking out because of the very special combination of things happening in your scenario, or is it blacking out because you're online and proximity sensor of the phone thinks you're holding it to your ear (and think that when you do this, you want to have blackened keypad).
