My laptop randomly switches my plan of power!

Hello, I have a problem with my laptop

I have a Gateway P-6860FX with a MS Windows Vista Home Premium.

Last night my girlfriend was watching a TV program on my computer (home) and that she was putting high-performance mode and after that she was she closed the lid, expects he can mode 'sleep'. However, he was not going to standby mode. He just sat there for hours.

So he discharged all my battery on the mode performance.

The next morning, I load my laptop in the back and started using it and I noticed that when I put on saving energy or balanced mode mode, the laptop switches to high performance mode and back. It is completely random, it occurs periodically. (when it is plugged into the wall)

Can someone help me with this?

I thought somehow that my laptop activated a setting triggering my computer automatically according to the level of food provided.

Thank you in advance.

Ju Choi,

Do you know if you use bridge or a third-party tool to manage your "Power Plan" or if you use Windows Vista "Power Plan"? If you use Windows Vista "Power Plan", then we can reset the default settings for each scheme. Please follow the steps bellow to change all default power plans.

1. click on "Start".
2. Type "CMD" without the quotes.
3. right click on "CMD" and select "run as administrator".
4. in the command prompt, enter 'powercfg - restoredefaultschemes"without the quotes and press 'Enter'.
5. close the command prompt, and then restart your computer.

Please let us know if this fixed your issue.

Thank you

  • Satellite L855 - 14K - random switching between power settings

    My Satellite L855 - 14K is used when it is plugged. The screen changes every seconds bright for dim - at the same time the logo in the taskbar switches to [plugged, load] to [xx % remaining] and the plug is removed from the logo. I changed the setting to [high-power] power and changed the setting to never reduce or turn off the screen and the brightness of the screen has been set to the maximum. There is always an obvious difference and it makes me crazy.

    The computer running Windows 7 Ultimate and has a 750 GB SSD, 16 GB of RAM, and software and BIOS are up-to-date. Battery and power have been exchanged with good known and the power supply is interrupted.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Fred

    According to the specifications of the laptop your machine was delivered with Win8 64 bit. Have you noticed the same behavior with preinstalled OS original?
    Since when did you notice this strange "switching" between the power supply and the battery?

    To be honest, it's not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here, but I think that it cannot be software related issue. I can hardly imagine that software gets a sort of 'signal' of electronic power supply.

    The warranty is still valid?

  • Yoga 2 Pro: randomly switches modes even when closed and the peripheral use

    I recently bought a Yoga 2 Pro, and I love it, except for an extremely annoying issue.

    It toggles randomly modes on me without moving the screen. I have not been able to develop a model for switching, it seems to be completely random. This morning I use this connected to a monitor of periperal via HDMI with the lid closed, and it was fine for about an hour and then started switching of the modes - tablet, back to laptop, the marquee, stand up, back to laptop, for tent...

    One of the benefits of its use with peripheral keyboard are the other modes don't disable the keyboard, but it is to randomly change the orientation of the screen. When I used it on its own without the devices, I can be typing away in the configuration of the laptop and all of a sudden it switches modes and the laptop is disabled.

    Sometimes, it is very well for hours and then will be randomly 10 times in 30 seconds.

    I know that I can turn on the rotation lock, but I just that it works correctly. He has been behaving in this way since the first night I bought it.

    All my windows updates are current and I reinstalled the drivers of transition of Yoga.

    Help, please. I need my computer for United work and cannot have a malfunction all the time and also cannot afford to lose if, during a period of time to have it fixed.

    I think it's finally fixed, but he forced me to return the unit for repair.

    Repair Center took two will solve the problem, but the ultimate fix seems to have required the replacement of the LCD: I guess there is some kind of sensor attached to the LCD unit. They replaced the motherboard and reconfigured the unit before replacing the LCD screen, so I can't be certain that he was not also a problem with the motherboard.

    So I guess I would recommend all those who encounter this issue gets their unit in a Service Center for repair before the warranty runs out. The warranty repair process wasn't as smooth as I would have liked, but ultimately it looks like my machine works fine now, and I don't think that any amount of waiting for updates of pilot would have set it.

    If a complete reset means that you restored the iPad like new, so there is nothing else you can try. Make an appointment at the Apple Store and ask them to take a look.

    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.
