Recently, my screen goes to power saving mode when the computer is used.

This does not happen on a particular site... it's pretty random.

The computer does not turn off but the only way to get the monitor back on is to restart the computer.  Any ideas what could be causing this?

I did, but still having the problem.  Thanks for your help!

Looks like the defective video card/cable eventually.  Could be power issues or motherboard as well.

  • 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.

    Hi Oliver

    I read your messages carefully and I'm really a bit confused. As far as I know all the tools pre-installed on each unit of Toshiba are tested. Sleep mode and standby extended too and I can't really understand what is happening in your case.

    The problem may be caused by the use of some third-party software of the part. In my opinion, do not do some experiments with non-Toshiba (driver chipset or display) software, because the software is adapted to the architecture of the unit and equipment.

  • 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.

     

    Method 2.

    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 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.

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?

  • Monitor immediately goes into POWER SAVING MODE on startup

    Hello and HELP!

    Just unpacked a Dell Inspiron 530, I bought in January 2009 (long story).

    After all hang up, I turned it on. Monitor shows a brief moment, just a flash, AUTO DETECT (ANALOG INPUT) entering POWER SAVE, then it goes black and nothing that I bring him on.

    This Inspiron came only with a VGA monitor plug. The flat screen has a DVI and VGA and DVI and VGA cables sheets. I connected the VGA cable to the VGA connectors.

    I tried the fixes I found on this site: PC and disconnect the cable VGA pc and monitor, reconnect. Disconnecting power plug from the monitor, plug back. From the start, press the F6 key. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. He has been guaranteed.

    I noticed when the monitor is not plugged into the pc and I turn it on, it flashes the message AUTO DETECT (ANALOG INPUT) entering POWER SAVING again and stops.

    The cable would be bad? The video card would be bad? The video card could be on the DVI?
    I can't even enter and see the BIOS, blind without visual. The speakers are in the monitor, and no sound is coming from them. Don't know if run even Windows (Vista).

    Any suggestions?

  • HP 8620: Printer in offline mode when the computer starts

    My 8620 Officejet is offline.  It is connected via a cable to my 360 spectrum HP network.  When I turned off the computer and start that he even once, the printer starts in offline mode - for example, when I got to print from Microsoft Word (Office Pro 2016), the printer is 'offline' in the Word print dialog and I get a message from Windows system, saying printer offline - and nothing prints.

    I can solve it with the help of HP print and Scan doctor.  But if I closed the computer and start it up again, it is new offline.

    I can fix this by going to the printer by pressing the button on the front power off and then restarting it - the document in the print queue print immediately.

    Also, if I start the Server Web part, select 'Tools' and then click 'Print a self Test Page', the page prints as usual. However, if I then go back to Microsoft Word, the printer remains offline.

    HP Printer Wizard starts well and the analysis of function of Document or Photo works very well.

    It's just the feeling that is not.

  • Black screen because of a video driver when the computer loading.

    I tried to change my video driver and now I get a black screen when loading Windows Vista.  How can I regulate the video driver or any other suggestions?

    Hello

    You can access Mode safe? You start the computer, press F8 repeatedly. Cases in this use System
    Restore and/or know last good configuration.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No registration necessary data and re - install Windows Vista may be the best option if

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (the best) or a
    External drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD,
    or other USB keys. Of course, a real computer store or your system maker can help to recover
    the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
    -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
    then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
    CTRL + ALT + DEL - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS
    -then on the Applications tab - lower right kind - new task - in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode
    is accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC will also start task

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the

  • My company goes bankrupt. They gave me the computer they use with a XP disc but I have no activation key

    Hello

    So I have this old model that was given to me by my company when the company went under (a place in R & D that loses funding). It seems to be a generic PC cobbled together from pieces of the difference, some being spare parts. It has a sticker of windows vista in the detail but xp pro installed. They gave me an xp pro disk. However when I uses a key Locator to get the license key and try to use it with the disc, it says it is unacceptable so I think they gave me the wrong disc.

    Is there something I can do? May download and install vista? (shudders at the thought)

    Thank you.

    I'll try and help you, but be informed that Microsoft has a policy of a license per machine. If the computers were running on the volume license key, then you will not be able to activate Windows. Usually the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee.

    You can find that some clarification on licenses in volume on this article. To find detailed information on the single user license agreement, go through the link and check.
