Monitor apppears to go to sleep...

My monitor seems to go to sleep just before windows loads after turning on the computer. The monitor works fine with another computer. I tried reinstalling the video card and that didn't help. I can't access anything on the computer to run new drivers, etc. Anyone know what I can do?

Hello

The monitor works in Mode safe? If this is not the case, there is a problem with the video card.

No matter what chance/settings (BIOS/CMOS) F2, so screen shows during startup, is often
onboard video (if that) the value?

If it doesn't then run MSCONFIG and make sure the general tab is on Normal startup.
On the Startup tab, nothing should be checked (on the main screen - leave advanced options
Options as they are - APPLY / OK - close and restart.

I hope this helps.

  • Monitor does not return after sleep.

    When my computer is in sleep mode and I come back to it, the monitor does not.  A message stating that he'll be back in the mode 'sleep', and the only way I can get to come is to manually restart the computer by holding the power button flashes.  The problem seems to get progressively worse - sometimes taking a quite awhile to come back even after rebooting.  I disconnected and then reconnected all the plug-ins and that you have completed all the recent Norton checks available to me.  Any ideas on why it is past, or better yet, how to fix?

  • DisplayPort monitor does not wake from sleep

    Hello

    just bought a Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 & realized, I could connect three monitors - yay.

    A few times the small monitor connected via displayport has not awoken from his sleep.  I have a beep as if remove the USB device.  The monitor power on / activate suits him.

    The two monitors connected with DVI awake without problem.

    I see threads referring to assign the displayport as the initial display adapter in the BIOS, but I don't see anything in the my BIOS (XPS 435MT) for graphics cards.  The GPU (I guess it's the GPU) set the dsiplayport as the monitor #1 monitor in the numbering system.  I understand that I have no control over this.  The attached DVI monitors are numbers 2 & 3.

    Carefully analyzed the logs of events during this time & can't find anything.

    Any help?

    Thank you

    Will update & reply to this message, I hope it helps someone else.  Apparently the TriXX is OK on the 7790.

    This YouTube video is my card:

    Video YouTube TriXX of Sapphire 7790 OC double-X

    If this does not work you can try changing the power settings in the BIOS - in my case, in the BIOS power management settings is not set to the sweetest sleep state.

    Right now the ACPI Suspend Type is S3 str:

    ACPI Suspend to RAM: ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface - that some people may find as options in their BIOS Setup programs. The Suspend to RAM, sometimes referred to as feature S3/STR, let the PC save more power in standby mode, but all the breast where the computer-related devices must comply with ACPI. Some BIOS have a S1/POS option for this scenario. If you enable this feature and you are having problems with the splash screen, just go back into the BIOS and disable. (not one of my options)

    Definition of ACPI to form of hunger more power to suspend for example s1 (POS) of power in standby mode could be the answer:

    S1: All processor caches are flushed, and the CPU stops the execution of the instructions. The power of the CPU and RAM is maintained. Devices that do not indicate that they must stay on can be turned off.

    S3: Commonly known as secondary, sleep or Suspend to RAM (STR). RAM remains powered.

  • 2nd monitor doesn't Wakup after sleep

    After windows turns off my two screens, one of them wakes up when I move the mouse. The only way to get the screens, is to run a windows program that triggers a dialog box "User Access Control" (i.e. the Device Manager).
    I am running two 1920 x 1080 monitors on my Vista Home Premium computer via my Geforce 9200 card. A monitor is driven via HDMI and the other via a VGA cable. After 20 minutes based on my power settings, Windows disables the views.  When I started to work again through the mouse or keyboard, only the monitor connected via HDMI wakes up.
    I have the latest drivers from nVidia.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Jordan

    Hi, I realized that it was only afterwards that I had updated my Nvidia drivers. I downgraded back to an earlier version and no longer have the problem. Thanks for your help!

  • my monitor is in "sleep" and he can't get out

    I have a HP 2009 m monitor is stuck in mode 'sleep' and he won't come out of him. I tried all cables cords, turn on and off the computer since I can only turn off by forcing it to restart I hit all the functions on the screen and he wakes not it I cannot enter in the computer to see whatever it is just a black screen.just lately I have made a download and it works after download , but I noticed that the monitor was Granie. Help, please!

    Hello! You could try a reset of the power. It helped me a few times on older computers in my village.

    Shut down your computer. Unplug your Tower from the socket. Hold the power button for 30 seconds with the Tower disconnected from the mains. Plug the power cord back into the tower. Hold the power button until the lights are we (5seconds)

    This clears the memory and discharge capacitors. It works for me. If your monitor has gone bad, it's another story. You will need the excess to another monitor.

    Dokie!

  • Monitor keeps going sleep

    Hello

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-063uk, product number PC: VG251AA, serial number {content removed}, with Windows 7, my monitor continues to go to sleep, and a message saying VGA NO SIGNAL appears. The only way to wake up, it's turning the pc on the power button (the F2 key or "half moon" if she awaken but does not work).

    I checked everything, since the "save power settings (which is on off)" screensaver (excluding schools) and no matter what I can find on the HP help and support, resolution of problems, tests of this and that, even connected to another monitor and restored to an earlier date, but I can not solve the problem.

    Please can you help. Thank you.

    Hi vitolaterza,

    Are you the no VGA signal after the computer goes to sleep? If so, it's normal.

    Disable all options of sleep mode; Make sure that everything is set to never sleep.

    Check the cables at the back, you only need a video cable to the screen.  Also go to hp.com and download the latest BIOS and graphics driver.

    Here is a link to download the drivers.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Monitor intermittently do not wake from sleep mode

    I have a new Pavilion 500 - 205t Windows 7 Desktop (two weeks).  Two days earlier, after the computer is in mode 'sleep', the computer would wake up, but the screen would not.  I contacted HP Support and they said not to put the computer in mode 'sleep', but to turn it off instead.  They said that the computer could accumulate a static charge which could prevent the monitor to wake up from sleep mode.  Their solution was to force a shutdown by pressing the power switch, unplug at the back of the Tower, by pressing the power switch for 20 seconds, plug everything back in and then turn on the computer.  The monitor worked correctly then wake up from sleep mode.  For the last two days, the computer would wake properly from sleep mode.  Today, the same thing happens again.  This time, I turned off the computer and then he turned back to (without unplugging everything) and the monitor worked correctly.

    Here's my question:

    Is it really a static problem? (It has been cold and dry here for several weeks and static is high)  Or I have a hardware problem or software that needs to be fixed?  Thank you for your time.

    I think I found the solution to this problem for my computer.  I changed the settings for sleep or sleep 'Hybrid' or 'Hibernate' is allowed.  Since then, I have not experienced the problem.  I also changed what does the power button, so that when I press the power button, the computer shuts down normally.  This prevents a "forced" shutdown if the problem happens again.

    Thanks again Bill, for your time.  I mark this problem is resolved.

  • Monitor going to sleep without input control

    Dell hard drive, monitor HP2159, news from March, latest version of Windows. The monitor three times went to sleep without this option over the last 2 weeks. The monitor will suddenly go to a screen says "No Signal" and then falls asleep. The computer must be shut down by pressing the power button on the hard disk and restart. Any ideas? The whol package is under warranty.

    As it is under warranty, it would be worth your time to file a claim.

    TI at least will be saved, in case of future problems with your machine.

  • New U2413 monitor won't allow my Mac Pro computer to sleep

    My new U2413 monitor works fine. However, when I try to turn my Mac Pro (model 1.1, with OS 107.5) computer to sleep monitor goes to 'power save' mode that triggers the computer to wake up, the monitor return to power save mode, the back of the computer to sleep and so on. If I change the preferences of the computer to the monitor and the computer to sleep after 10 minutes, the monitor going to sleep, but the computer does not work. Any ideas? Is it possible to turn off the monitor power saving mode?

    I tried your suggestion to use an external USB key to monitor the connection. It works!  The computer and the monitor can now go to sleep at the same time. The only downside is that the auxiliary USB ports on the monitor is no longer connected to the computer. So, now I need a hub USB powered, connected to the computer, since I have more USB devices (card reader, USB stick or two, two scanners and two printers) that the USB ports on the computer.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • H505 PC cannot connect to monitors

    A few days ago, I turned on my PC H505. After activation, the monitor went instantly in mode 'sleep'. I had this problem since then, regardless of monitor I connect to my PC goes to sleep. Even the monitors who work on other computers just fail to connect to mine. I changed the VGA cable, and the same problem occurred. I wonder how this might be happening and how to fix it. Is there a part that is defective? Help, please.

    Oh well, thanks for all the help everyone... .... In any case, I thought that the problem myself. There was an electrical problem in my graghics card, causing the map graghics not being able to connect to my monitor. Thank God I don't have to buy a new computer!

  • Monitor and system used "wake up" mode ensures

    I tell my story so that others may not feel as if they were alone in their perdicament. My story starts like this:

    I bought the m9520f and and w2408h last Saturday and have been enjoying the PC immensely. I really like HP and wouldn't not consider purchasing another manufacturer - even with the troubles, I'm going to wear. Everything worked well until Sunday night, when I put the system into "sleep" mode and returns an hour later. I had put the system into "sleep" before but was returned to him several minutes later. But this time after leaving the PC in "sleep" for an hour, the system will not turn back. The lights on the PC itself would come on (from the green 'sleep' to the 'blue'), but the monitor would refuse to wake up. I called support and even they could not understand it. We have tried to unplug the pc and all its ropes, but nothing worked. I hooked up the monitor to my other pc, and it worked well, so I knew there was nothing wrong with the monitor. Earlier Saturday the PC would not recognize Monitor driver then maybe had something to do with it. Hmmm. When I disconect the PC monitor would come and it lights on the keyboard would be as well. When I plugged the monitor of the PC turns on but keyboard lights wouldn't. Strange. The monitor would immediately switch to "standby" mode as soon as I plugged the HDMI or VGA - in fact just before he would monitor OSD would be inidcate that niether the HDMI or VGA were connected (which they were physically). So I knew that the monitor was not to recognize the conection. Communication between the monitor and the PC must have been the cause. After about 45 times to turn on and off Alternatively the monitor and the PC, the monitor has FINALLY acknowledged that there was a link and my PC on - WHEWWW. I was afraid that I would have to discuss with the people at Circuit City for an Exchange. I still don't know what happened, but all I know is that I will NEVER put this monitor or PC in sleep in the future. Here are the symptoms that I lived in case someone else there is in the same perdicament. It seems to me that this can be cured with a software update - but I'm not smart enough to Koe for sure:

    Tip #1: The PC would not recognize Monitor driver

    Tip #2: This happened after leaving the monitor and the PC in 'sleep' for more than 30 minutes

    Tip #3: The PC lights (clear blue power, stable, flashing green light on the back and the dvd player opens) but the rest of the monitor to sleep

    Tip #4: The monitor refuses to acknowledge that it is "connected".

    CUE #5: The PC "blockages" accordingly and refuses to switch (kind of caught between being on and "sleepy")

    Tip #6: When the PC finally trun on the driver and the software supplied with the monitor that he would not recognize Saturday had risen from PC (hmm - I chose to not reinstall)

    My recommendation: do NOT try to install the driver provided with your monitor and DO NOT put your system into "sleep" for more than 15 minutes.

    My system: Pavilion Elite m9520f with monitor w2408h 24 inches.

    LAST UPDATED:

    After several weeks with the computer, I found the solution. I did through trial an error. First of all, let me say that I don't have the option of returning the PC to the retailer, because it was Circuit City and they had to stop their activities - so I couldn't do that. Here is the solution for those of you are having problems with your PC do not 'wake up' sleep: (Please note that some documents below may be repetative and you could read what follows before in my previous updates - I just wat to summarize below for some people)

    1) to update drivers (ALL)

    (2) update the BIOS (very Important!) on the site of HP

    (3) HP has a problem with USB devices (external drives, USB mouse, anything with USB and Yes, that includes your monitor). Which MAY have something to do with the "bus controller" driver who refuses to this day to be installed on the 'updates '. I was not able to install this darn update, so I gave up. I know that many of you have had trouble with that as well so I'll leave for another topic on the forum of "solve". All I have now is that I've resigned myself to the fact that it will never be installed and I'm fine with it. Anyway, my main concern was the problem of "sleep". Getting back to what I was saying, the HP has a problem with the USB devices. In other words, all USB DEVICES MUST BE REMOVED before you go into sleep - if you do not, then the system will NOT "wake up". What I've learned, is to remove all USB devices before entering the sleep and my system will go to sleep and wake up without problems - for me, it was just a matter of having disconnected and reconnected once the system was awake. Of course, those with a USB mouse, I recommend that you get a mouse not USB. Fortunately also my HP w2408h monitor is connected through a HDMI cable so I don't have the problem of having to disconnect and reconnect it. The manual of the suggested w2408h connect it by HDMI AND USB but only connect it via HDMI and it works perfectly for me - DO NOT CONNECT THE USB cable on the screen because then you will have the problem of sleep.

    Resolved solution!

    (now, if I can get my gosh darn controller BUS to install and my blu - ray to panic game then that would be nice - arghhhhhhh!)

    Hope my experience helped the people there!
