Monitor turns off

My screen turns off when you play a Microsoft game.  It will sweep to black for a second or two and return to the screen. She does several times. Any suggestions?

Hello

 
1. What is the name of the game?
2. were you able to play the game without any problems before?
3. don't you make changes before the show?
 
It could be a few reasons why you are facing this problem. First of all, we recommend to install the latest driver for Vista compatible video card and check the result. To do this, follow these steps.
Step 1: Install the video card driver.
1. visit the system manufacturer's Web site to download and install the latest driver for Vista compatible video card.
For more information on 'download and install a driver' visit this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942462
 
Step 2: Change hardware acceleration at different levels.
1. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.
2. click on advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.
Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.
3. move the hardware acceleration at different levels and check the result.

  • Windows 7 double monitors - turn off a monitor causes Office to reorganize resulting in substantial losses of productivity.

    I have 2 monitors connected to a card nVidia FX 580 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A monitor is linked via DVI and the other through DP (Display Port).

    If I turn off the monitor of the RFP, I hear the windows sound indicating the material has been "deleted." When I turn on the monitor, I hear the sound of new hardware, windows re - detects the monitor as if I just installed it and my layout any icon on the desktop and all the windows, I had open are then all rearranged and takes a long time, re-organization to come back to where I was.

    I leave my PC on 24 hours a day for several reasons - and for years have always just had my monitors turned off when you are not using it.

    I need to be able to turn off my monitors without windows deciding that I "removed" a monitor.

    I work for a software company of medical imaging, where we provide the complete hardware and software solutions for use in radiology departments in hospitals. These systems are usually 3 or 4 connected monitors, all via DP these days. Due to the possibility of the desktop users get messed up, if they happen to turn off a monitor, we can not install systems with Windows 7.

    While many may see this as nothing more then a disadvantage, it is a show-stopper as what we concerned. Yet as I have not found a viable solution to this problem.

    So here's the question: how to disable this new behavior in Windows 7 and allow him to understand that the monitor has not gone away and that the Office should not be changed simply because the monitor is off?

    Thank you.

    I wrote a small utility to fix this problem. It is still very thrown together, but Open source, so you can compile sources if you have security problems.

    I hope it works for you!

  • Satellite A500-1GL - the monitor turns off

    Hi I have a problem,

    in the last time my screen turns off but not alweys.

    Times when it fires:
    Occasionally, sometimes after the picture windows sometimes runs without problem. Three times a minimum of departure.

    Times, when it runs:
    -without adapter
    -play games of blizzard, AC adapter
    -When the TV is connected via the hdmi adapter

    I have this problem:
    -Clean the laptop from the inside, Don t help
    -new windows installed, Don t help

    The only time where the monitor has failed, I leave the laptop to watch if the monitor goes back to the.
    But not 72 hours came to nothing.

    Please help me, I m helpless

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Unfortunately, I think that there is not much you can do about it.
    Just in General, I imagine there is a connection problem, but it must be the subject of an investigation.
    Try contacting the closest service provider of Toshiba, to explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Satellite A100 - monitor turns off after reboot

    Not here a load of HARD drive, also if the output of the BIOS not are displays logo. Just how to work again with turn off phone then turn on again. I also try external VGA display with cable (VGA VGA) have same problem.

    I try to put the connector again still.

    Toshiba Satellite A100 (model PSAA8) chipset Intel

    Hey mate,

    If you have the same problem on an external monitor I think that it s related to the motherboard or something else. He should t be a problem of the internal screen I think

    It's really hard to say something about it, but you can try to update the display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site.
    Check it!

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Operating system preinstalled Toshiba?

  • monitor turns off not by the switch at the top. power cord seems loose at the back of the monitor. just need a

    I have a hp w2338h monitor, running Windows 7 and I am unable to turn off the monitor through the top switch. The power cord seems loose in its connection to the monitor. Do I just a new cord or something else is necessary?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Try to push the power cord firmly upward.  It should not move when it is completely inserted.

    Try a reset of the monitor. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and hold the power button of the monitor for 30 to 60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and it lights up.

  • monitor turns off turning off the kitchen light

    I know that sounds weird, but I have a problem for some time now. I have a trash can end 2013, Mac Pro and Eizo monitor connected by a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. When I turned off the light in my kitchen, the monitor lost the signal from the Mac for about 10 seconds, and then returned. It was an annoying problem, but I could live with it.

    Now, after the last update to OSX, the problem got worse. The screen loses the signal, but can't find again as before. Even if I unplug & plug the cable displayport, I can get the screen on again once. Only if I use a MiniDisplayPort to DVI, I can make it work with a bit of luck. Then, when I plug the miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and unplug the DVI adapter, it finds its 'report once again... also with a bit of luck and after switching around between outputs 6.

    I have no idea how to solve this problem. And I can't use the DVI adapter because it does not support native of 27 "screen resolution (only until 1920 px I think).

    Any idea on what could be the cause of this problem is welcome!

    I would try to eat the Mac and the monitor by a UPS (uninterruptible power supply).

    Also try plugging the Mac and the monitor in the taken away from the light switch.

  • 860 - 009na: the monitor turns off during access to / applications change full screen

    Hello

    I got a new computer packed with the HP Envy 32 inch monitor. I am running on an issue that is simply irrating and I don't know how to solve it.

    Basically, the screen is empty. It is not a hard lock or whatever it is, he decides just during initialization more applications full screen (IE, a game) or even post Win10, connect, when computers are like "flickering" during the swap, the screen just turned off. This can be resolved by switching on the monitor input channel, or put the monitor in standby and distributed. On these occasions, I get sound through the screen.

    So appearances, the screen continues to receive entries from the computer and because of switching the monitor off and on again, it display image as expected. This is a case where the monitor is simply decide that it does not want to display the image for reasons unknown. Such as energy conservation.

    I updated the graphics card, provided I got most up to date display driver, double checked the connection... it just happens.

    It feels like it some really boring affecting somewhere that makes the screen, and I really want to change it. For the moment, it is a rate have to turn on the screen and two times just to get the start menu, then if I insert a game, he does even once, when I leave the game, does it again. It does not occur when a game that supports the windowed mode - without borders is loaded (I guess because it is not 'true full screen').

    Thus, it seems to happen during this process to set full screen.

    Well, there is another cable that I was not in the box titled "DisplayPort".

    So I changed my HDMI cable to use this one. The monitor works perfectly now... so as a workaround, this solved.

    But the question remains, why the monitor was so weird when using HDMI? It might be marked up as a potential problem.

  • Monitor turns off after 5 minutes & password protect when he wakes up. View properties - > screen saver "Wait: __minutes" and "on RESUME, Password Protect" checkboxes are grayed out.

    Help, please!

    I'm on a processor to work, so I've limited the administrative rights on the computer. My work function requires that I propose on the desktop to help others with professional assignments.

    THE PROBLEM: After 5 minutes of inactivity mouse/keyboard of the monitor off on the processor to work, she does not even go to a screensaver first, the screen turns off just in standby mode.

    Hello JDG_SF, welcome.

    These options are very likely controlled by your GP (Group Policy) settings on your domain. Due to the nature of the work of rights how administrative, there is no way to work around this problem, unless you have access to change group policy settings that affect all the machines on your network.

    You would need to access or to change the settings of GP or find someone who already has access.

  • Double monitor turns off the second monitor in the locked mode

    Hello

    We work in an environment of support and use the installation of two monitors. Win7 heard to have good management of these settings and easy-to-use features. However at some point, something that was great went troubled.

    We can use two monitors while working on it however just its coastline turns off the second wallpaper and screen savers set if necessary. I tried to look for any change in config, but in vain. Looking for answer now here.

    Thanking you in advance.

    Kunal Pathak

    There is no built-in way to change this feature. When it is locked, the screen will be black. There may be some 3rd party software that can do this, but it is not supported by Microsoft.

  • Monitor turns off "-automatic detection of the analog inputs.

    While I'm working I suddenly black screen and stays going this way. If I press the power button on the monitor power off, then on, I see a message auto detect (analog input). Sometimes, he goes and I can continue to work. Other times I have to go through which power action several times until it goes away and I can continue to work. How to fix this? Thank you.

    This means that the monitor cannot synchronize the signal it receives from the computer. Either the signal is too low or too high for the monitor to use. Check the resolution as the frequency.

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for posting your request.

    We will try these steps and check.

    Step 1: Turn off the screen saver by selecting the screen saver 'None '. And check if you have a similar question.

    If the problem persists, please turn off the sleep in the BIOS. To check the BIOS settings, please consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer of the motherboard.

    Step 2: Perform the check and the boot if the problem persists. It will start 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.

    Please see this link which has the steps showing how to perform the clean boot:

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

    (2) enable half the services

    (3) determine whether the problem returns

    (4) enable half of the startup items

    (5) determine if the problem returns

    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.
