Problem with the screen goes black and then completely black

While watching a movie saved/tv show with Windows Media Player/VLC or any other media software, when a night scene or any situation where there is an important subject of black screen, my screen becomes progressively more dark, until it becomes completely black and then, after a brief moment begins to clear up, but is still much darker than it should be. Am I engaged a setting in my graphics card which is the cause?

ViewSonic VT2430-M [Monitor] (24.0 "screws, s/n R4S101790118, April 2010)

Does not need to update the Nvidia driver because it is up to date and could not update the Viewsonic that Windows only recognizes as "PnP monitor" generic monitor, even if it is described as Viewsonic in the Nvidia Control Panel. Did restore the default values in the video section of the Nvidia Control Panel, and that seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Install these updates of 2 drivers and then restart the pc and try again see if the problem occurs.

Another thing that I recommend is trying to reset your settings to default monitor by pressing the MENU button and finding the option defauult of zero/factory reset.

You can also restore the default settings in the Nvidia Control Panel by clicking on restore by default in most sections.

  • IPhone update (but an old having problems with the screen Activate iPhone and Apple ID)

    I have an iPhone 5 that, by chance (Pocket escaped), is stuck on the screen of the iPhone 'Find your phone' Activate.  The iPhone does not accept my Apple ID.  He is looking for an address icloud.com.  I can't honestly remember a set up, and I tried a number of variations on the icloud.com address (using the 'index' system provides) and passwords with no luck.  Do not have any problems with my Apple ID - I can see my phone & details on my screen of the user, when I connect my account (via the office).  Subject to my cellular service provider, I tried to force a restore on the phone via iTunes, but after that he asked me a few questions of initial Setup, I'm just at the "Activate iPhone" screen

    To be honest, I was going to pick up a new phone this week anyway.  My concern is now that I don't want to not suddenly faced with the same problem.  This lock, I meet - is - this quite specific for the phone itself? If I get a 6 plus and use this Apple ID to activate it, I ask in trouble? I admit that I am a twit when it comes to activation codes, the Apple ID, SIM cards and others.

    It was my first smartphone (+ 3 years now) and the installer was made by my employer, so strange things could happen at the beginning.

    Thank you all for any help

    If the implementation was made by your employer, they can put in something different from your Apple ID to find my iPhone. It also seems that if something was damaged in the fall. Who can contribute to the problem.

    If, when you receive your new phone, you make sure you use your Apple ID to find my iPhone, you should have no problem.

  • At the beginning; After the Windows Logo at the start, the screen goes black and a POWER SAVE MODE comes up. I must stop button. I can run the computer as I am now in Mode safe mode with networking.

    When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds.  Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds.  A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears.  The machine is dead to all orders.  I have to stop by pressing the off button.  I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files.  I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge.  That did not work.

    The change came after a Windsows update.  I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start.  Clues?  I use Negear.  No change when I hooked directly either.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.

  • Satellite L405D-11V - freezes and the screen goes black when you watch the video

    OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

    I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

    Its still under warranty, I bought the laptop from the Comet, but I really don't want to send the laptop for repairs again and find it comes back with the same fault, is it interesting sending distributed, maybe see if the comet will replace the laptop as its still less than a year to buy the laptop, or it'll just be useful to save all the hassle and buy a new laptop? If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
    What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

    To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

    If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

    If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
    Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)

  • Satego P100 - the screen goes black

    Hello

    If I turn on my laptop there is no problem. After maybe 5 minutes, the screen goes black and after a few minutes, he just a blue screen. Restarting the laptop. But now I don't have lines on the screen for the display of the BIOS and the power of Windows screen but during the operation. If the laptop is turned on after minutes the same, it goes black and then blue screen.

    BIOS and reinstalled system. nothing happens. I think that BIOS is flawed, because there are lines on the screen when I turn on the laptop again.
    If I leave the laptop for 15 minutes off the coast, it starts normally but aftern maybe 5 minutes it starts again with blue screen and other funny stuff.

    Now - what is someone the problem and a solution?
    I think the BIOS is a virus that destroyed. But I think that on a laptop, it is not possible to change only the BIOS. Because the update of it was ok but the problem remains.

    Thx for the answers and cordially

    I put t think the BIOS is defective. There must be another problem. All that you have done is just. Update the BIOS and the clean OS install are only option that you can do about it.

    Please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let the technician to check your laptop. Let them to test the operation of the equipment using the service tools.
