• Monitor goes into power saving mode or restarting PC

  I recently bought a Dell XP 8500 with 7870 AMD and Dell U241M monitor.

  When the computer is turned off for awhile (overnight, for example), the monitor almost always goes into energy saving mode while the PC starts in the AM (I do not see the BIOS/post visuals). If I stop the PC and power cycle a few times (turn on/off the monitor and the PC at the same time) it will generally work after 3-4 tests.

  "Sleep" mode on the PC is turned off.

  If I turn off the PC for the night and leave the monitor to go to sleep, the monitor wakes up fine when I move the mouse the next AM.

  If I turn off the PC overnight and also If turned off the monitor, PC restarts when I turn on the monitor of the AOS .

  If I turn off the PC or the monitor for a few minutes, it will work the next time it starts perfectly. The problems seem to be when he stayed all night.

  I have exchanged monitors and see the same problem with the XPS and another monitor, while the U2412M works fine on another PC.

  I tried DVI - DVI and DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable with no difference. I tried to plug in a different bar / food. I tried to replace the GPU and checked that GPU power cable connections are tight.

  So, I guess that the problem is in the hardware XPS GPU or PSU and I'm quite surprised it didn't fall Dell quality control (or it has been damaged during transport?).

  Any thoughts? I don't really want a backup and reconfigure a new Tower and thought that I would get away from this kind of problems by going with a Dell.

  Thank you

  Sam

  For those who might wonder what was the end result, Dell has replaced the GPU and now it's fine.

• My laptop goes into power saving mode after one minute. Someone knows why?

  It's just started happening yesterday. I use a Toshiba laptop and out of nowhere, my PC goes in power saving mode after one minute when ALL my settings for this mode is 30 minutes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Hi MattLipkint,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you update the display adapter drivers, basic input/output system (BIOS) and motherboard chipset drivers.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Computer runs continuously check disk and automatically goes into power saving mode.

  2 days ago my computer was working fine, then yesterday he wanted to run the check disk at startup upward. Finished, he found no errors and proceeded to vista loading which then stated that he was going to power saving mode, the screen went black and clear screen turned yellow. Now he wants to run the check disk on every restart and ends with her past in power saving mode. I've only got 1 successful start since this all started. I tried to start in safe mode but it freezes. I also tried to boot to the last known configuration but that only prompted an another disk check and ended just as vain as other attempts. The hard drive is only a year so it should not be failing already. I don't know what I should try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Method 1.

  Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

  The correct way to disable CHKDSK to start use the on command chkntfs /x switch in command prompt. The /x switch will exclude a verification by default startup car. If you have drive C: as your hard drive, then the command to disable chkdsk C: drive analysis would be:

  chkntfs /x c:

  If you have 2 drives C and D, you can disable chkdsk with the command below

  chkntfs /x c: d:

  So go ahead and restart.

  Registry warning

  To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

  Here are the steps to disable checkdisk at startup.

  1 - click on the 'Start' menu of Windows on the desktop and click on "Search" (Windows Vista or 7).

  2. Type "regedit" in the search box and press 'Enter' to start recording.

  3 - Click on '+' in the folder 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' to develop. Click on the 'SYSTEM' folder and click on the folder "CurrentControlSet". Click on the 'Control' folder and then click on the "Session Manager" folder.

  4 double click on 'BootExecute' on the right pane. You should see the default value of the key defined as autocheck autochk * (with asterisk). The asterisk (*) means that the Windows controls every drive for consistency. Add "/ K:C" at the end of the autocheck autochk * after the addition, the final value should look like this: autocheck autochk / k: C *.

  5 - Click on "file" and click "Exit" to close the damper. Restart your computer. The disk check is no longer lance to the computer startup.

  Method 3.

  After the checkdisk has been disabled, I suggest you to reset the power to the control panel settings and check if that helps.

• Monitor Dell Vostro 2705 keeps going into power saving mode

  I have a Dell Vostro 2705. When I turn it on, the screen goes into power saving mode. We tried with a different monitor and it still does not work. I do not see there is a separate video card to replace it. Can it be fixed or is - a new computer?

  Thanks in advance for your advice.

  Hello

  Its usually a faulty motherboard. So the only option is to get the Board replaced.

  You can try doing a power cycle and if still doesn't work then a replacement of the Board of Directors.

• Monitor goes into power saving mode

  I have a client with a 660 Inspiron, and while working on this subject, the monitor goes into power saving mode.  Using another monitor has the same results. Now, here's the catch, the motherboard has been replaced with the same results so Dell sent his computer to another. After that set up the new computer things seemed to be OK for about 30 minutes, and then the new computer came into power saving mode. Again with another monitor to get the same results. Any thoughts?

  Hi TimMcKinney,

  Welcome to the community.

  Please let us know the version of windows and the video card installed on the system. Please check the system with a different video cable as well.

• my printer does not close power saving mode

  I have a OfficeJet 4500 wireless and when he's asleep he goes into power saving mode.

  When I try to print it does not print and I can't turn it off, the power button is unable to work.  I have to unplug the printer, then restart it to return to normal.

  We will set an IP address of the printer:
  
  -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
  -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
  -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). You can find the beach DHCP from the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the IP address of the router (ends para.1) in a browser.
  -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the bridge and the first DNS. Let the second white.
  -Click 'apply '.
  
  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.
  
  After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.
