Screen freezes - need to turn off the Satellite C660 series to retrieve the display

I have a Satellite Pro with Windows 7.
As Emma in a previous thread, I have problems with the screen freezing and having to go off to recover.

I think it might have something to do with the Windows updates, but can anyone offer any assistance.

Please, I beg you! In the plain in English please because I am a silver surfer!

Hi Mariel

It would be interesting and useful to know which model of laptop you have.
Then you tried to reinstall or update the display driver?

Please do.

  • How can HF r600 I turn off the display when I save?

    I want to reduce my battery drain while recording events any longer.  How can I turn off the display while recording?

    There is an option to disable "Power on by using LCD Panel.  This deactivation allows you to record with the LCD closed and so will extend the life of the battery while recording.  The option to disable should be found in the configuration menu of the system (which resembles a key) and the option you choose is 'Off '.

  • Pe10: How to turn off the display of the frame on the timeline?

    Hi - I've just upgraded to Premiere Elements version 10, and I see an improvement in reliability.  PE8 broke with regularity for me, but PE10 crashed yet.  It is a huge improvement fo rme.

    One thing that slows down my low editing much expected PE10 to redraw only the video on the timeline when I zoom in and out, scroll, etc.  I do it a lot when I change a video multi-track project and I get on with spending a lot of time waiting for PE10 to select and reder to images in the scenario.  I looked through the preferences, search fo a way to disable the display of video images on the timeline, but the only setting that I can find is the one that allows to set how scrolls the timeline panel, but nothing on how to control the display of video images on the timeline.  I think it has a setting somewhere given the duration of the UI has endured (maybe since version 4), and the amount of testing that Adobe has obviously made on version 10.

    I guess that I don't have to turn off the display of the frame on the timeline.  I'd be happy with any technical that allows me to edit interactively and not spend hours waiting for the timeline to complete images.  My computer has a lot of horses (quad core i7 to 3.3 GHz, 12 GB of RAM ant compatibility), so it's at the upper end of the material that first Elements users should be running.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have. -Ole Pa

    Looks like you are using the 64 bit version of Windows 7. You ensure that you have installed the 64 bit version of the program? That alone should make a huge difference in performance.

    Then go to the track header (name of the track, to the left of the timeline). If you click on the little icon of film on the track header, you will be able to switch between the different ways the clips appear on your timeline. If you see a period of time that you expect of your video display refresh, try to set the view so that only the first and last frame of the clip is displayed.

    You can also go to Edition/Preferences/general and set the timeline playback scroll Scroll of the Page rather than smooth scroll.

  • All lights on screen Flash - Message - Please turn off the printer and turn it back on

    I'm fighting a problem for a few weeks now with all the lights on the display starts flashing and the message please turn off the printer and turn it back on.   HP sent me a new printer that does the same thing.  The printer is an Officejet Pro 8600.  My computer is Windows 7.  I use a Belkin 750 db wireless router.  I talked to the service the customer several times with no results.  Did a hard reset of the printer, change the SSID of the router, because I think that one of my neighbors has the same router.  The thing most effective I did was change the channel to 6 which will operate for several hours until the display starts to Flash again.  Channels 1 & 11 starts blinking after a few minutes.  I know there are other people who have had the same problem.  I'm about to throw the thing in the trash.  My last printer brand X was set up the same way with no problems.  On the network, there are 2 iPads, smart TV, and an iPhone.  Need help please!

    Super Dave

    Ethernet cable and connection with correction of the problem.  Its been 2 days and the printer worked perfectly.  Please pass this solution on your technical telephone support staff because I know that there are others with the same question.  Thanks for your help.

  • Windows 7 turn off the display does not work when you use empty screen saver.

    My friend is running Windows 7 x 64 on a desktop and x 32 on a laptop.  He found that if he chooses the screensaver empty (set to 5 minutes) and will display at 10 minutes, the screen never goes round.

    On my laptop, I use the screensaver of ribbons with the same settings and my laptop screen goes off as planned.  However when I go to the screen saver, the display is never off (actually so that empty screen saver was active, my mouse reappears after a certain time).

    There seems to be a Bug with the Windows 7 built in empty screen saver.

    Thoughts, other experiences, etc.? Alex

  • I need help, turn off the internal mic

    Please explain to me as I am 5. I have a headphone (with mic jack and Jack audio input type). Whenever I plug them in, however, the computer decides to use the internal microphone instead. Is it possible to switch off my internal microphone without turning off sound settings (given that my headset in would appear under micro)?

    I'll try to look in the Device Manager to see if it does not show two microphones.  If so, you can disable one of them.  To get the Device Manager, click Start and right click on computer, then click Properties, then Device Manager.

    Good luck.

  • My computer freezes when I turn off the printer. HP D7360, Windows Desktop.Photosmart 7

    When I turn my printer off the computer crashes.  HP desktop computer.  Windows 7.  Photosmart D7360.

    I reinstalled the drivers.

    Have you tried a different usb cable? It could be that the usb cable is grounded on which could be a short circuit in the usb cable, or the printer port. Although it is also possible that this is the USB controller on the motherboard of your computer to try another cable is fixed not try with another computer if possible. If the other computer does not have any problems, then it's HP desktop computer. When you do that, you are out of my field of expertise friend .

  • Re: x 505-"turn off the display" does not properly

    To make a long story short, I had a load of problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X 505. I talked to tech support and they had me completely clear the computer and reinstall the OS. Everything has been fine for days until today!

    For some reason any whenever my screen turns off (for energy saving), I can't get my computer to respond. I don't know if he's asleep, going into hibernation mode, or even the difference between one of these things, but when I press the buttons, move the mouse/Touchpad, try multimedia keys, the power button, nothing makes my computer come back. I have to hold the power button / stop and completely restard come back again the computer.

    Why is this happening? It worked great for everyday, but I think it has something to do with the NVIDIA driver update I downloaded. It is the main change I have made to the computer yesterday and now it seems to do. Does anyone have recommendations? How can I make my computer stop doing that? I have all the options of my black screen off for now, but that does not seem a good solution for this problem that he used to work properly.

    Hey,.

    Akuma is right, you should only use the display drivers provided by Toshiba and not nVidia. The nVidia drivers are not pre-tested and that's the reason why they can cause such problems. Also they don t have an overheating protection, installation happens on your own risk.

    If you need to test it with the drivers from the official website of Toshiba. Prior to installation, remove the current display driver, and then restart the computer. Then you can begin with the installation of Toshiba display drivers.

    In the worst case it of necessary to reinstall the whole system again, but before that, you try a system restore to an earlier point.

  • Turn off the display in Windows 7

    I need a script or command to put the screen of one computer.

    Note: don't want additional software of PS script. I need run this user level access.

    I don't know what are the effects of the power consumption for a screen saver.

    If you used a powercfg command to turn off a monitor, you would save power.  You can set this as a batch file that contains the command [which would be a single entry line] for each user to run.  You can also use such a command to apply a setting idle time-out specific for the power management to use during the powering of monitors [I have no knowledge of the management of the field so I don't know if you are likely to have other tools to achieve anyway].

    You can see most of the syntax of this command by opening a command prompt and then enter

    powercfg /? > \Desktop\Powercfg.txtyourusernameC:\Users\

    There is some additional info on TechNet.

    The only other note I have is not officially documented, but it works.  It is not relevant to your question but just for the sake of completeness-

    the powercfg - q command lists the properties [it's documented]

    but

    the command powercfg - qh lists properties, including hidden properties [this is not documented.
