• Screen guard randomly goes black for a few seconds

  At random times, but especially when I'm using outlook or to access the internet (not always), my screen will go black for a few seconds, then back on, but with the slightly distorted screen. I have connected a new monitor to the computer to see if it was a problem with the monitor, but it always does with the new screen, so I know it's the PC itself. How can I fix it?

• Equium A100 - 027 Vista: the screen goes black for just 1 second

  I was wondering if anyone here can tell me what is the problem with my laptop. That's all new Toshiba Equium A100-027. Quite often, my screen will turn black for just a second, and then it will return to normal again.

  I changed my power settings, so it is not because of the screen laptop will. Most of the time, it's going to happen when I run the program in full-screen on real player, but it happens when I play mahjong titans which is included in microsoft vista.

  HM, just a small suggestion to check if you have a hardware related problem or some software:

  Connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if the problem still occurs.
  If the problem occurs with an external monitor then check that you have installed the software and try uninstalling the last installed software, perhaps the best will be step by step.

  So if all else fails, then try a recovery.

• HP HDX 16 t Premium - screen goes black after a few seconds

  Just today my screen started going black out of no where (when I played StarCraft 2, a high-performance PC game.) Now, he's doing regularly (after a few seconds to about one minute.) It's almost as if my computer goes into mode 'sleep' but I can't wake up. This happens less often when I put the brightness of my screen on a lower setting, and tends to fade before going to black instead of going just instantly black. I also have an external monitor attached, and when my laptop monitor goes black the external display remains lit and fully operational.

  Some things to note:

  -The power cord is attached and plugged in, and turned on my computer.

  -J' have a cooling block and my computer is not overheating.

  -The battery has full juice.

  -J' tried to restart my computer several times and still have the same problem.

  -C' is the case even when I'm not running high performance games or programs.

  -My settings to be able to tell my computer never sleep, decrease intensity after 10 minutes (5 minutes for the battery) and the screen turns off after 20 minutes (15 minutes on the battery.)

  -When the laptop screen is on the brightest display settings, it seems to be flickering.

  I did some research and it seems to be a problem with the LCD capacitors going bad. If anyone can check this? If this is the case, is there a way I can replace and where would I do my shopping?

  Thanks in advance

  If it's a double lamp, there will be four wires coming out of the bottom of the screen and a unique lamp will count two. You won't suddenly sure until you take it apart.

  You can also Google the correct reference to find a third party retailer and there's the HP parts store, but they are usually expensive.

• Satellite C660-1J2 - the screen goes black for a second

  Hey everybody.

  I recently changed my HARD drive and did a reinstall fresh, as previous was damaged. What is happening now is that whenever I have connect or disconnect the cable the screen goes black for a second. There is no real consequence of this, I'd rather just if there was an option to make it happen.

  Then, give a shout someone if you know how to deal with this.

  Hello

  > I have recently changed my HARD drive and did a reinstall of fees
  You have installed Windows from Toshiba normal Microsoft Windows disk or recovery disk?

  To me it sounds like that, you forgot to install the display driver. Also check the Manager of devices for the yellow exclamation points or unknown devices.
  Make sure that correct display driver is installed. You can download the latest version of Toshiba's official website:

• AL1716 screen turns black after a few seconds. If I turn the monitor power off & on again, it works - 2s

  The monitor worked fine for a few years, so is no longer under warranty. I was about to throw.

  Then the monitor I bought to replace, was damaged on the way to the group practice site.

  Now, I hope to fix the Acer monitor.

  When the computer starts, and a new screen loads, the monitor it shows for a few seconds. Once the computer on the desktop, if I turn off the monitor and turn it back on, it displays the desktop perfectly for a few seconds.

  The monitor I replaced it with also works very well with the computer. He collided with another device, when the car in front of me stops suddenly and there is a piece missing from the screen in the lower left corner. It looks like modern art in the lower part with some of them white and black and a few vertical lines and horizontal lines. I can continue to use it, since what I need lies in the upper part of the screen. I learned the keyboard command to shut down the computer. The windows key, followed by the right arrow, followed by the Enter key.

  I watched a few videos for repair of monitor on Youtube.

  It seems that the capacitors are the typical element which spoils first.

  So I guess I'll break the front off the monitor and see if the card has the capacitors top of the pop up. I can use capacitors with the same intensity of micro-Farouk and the voltage equal or better than the other monitor.

  I've recently learned step secret beginning of successful welding.

  You must have a clean tip.

  When you clean the tip of the soldering iron, it should have the appearance of copper. If weld does not stick to the point, it is not clean enough. I used a wet sandpaper dry and scoured it. They are sold with a protective coating that must be removed. If it is not removed it clogging the tip.

• blue screen on screen start/start for a few seconds

  As noted above, this blue screen appears on the start screen, with all the icons including the lower tray.  This blue screen disappears in 6 seconds approximately and snaps in normal mode at a glance.  I remember the dreaded blue screen of yester year and wonder what I'm about to the dreaded blue screen.

  Thank you

  Well done!

• screen goes black after a few minutes inactivity

  When I'm reading or watching something, the screen becomes black. If I'm streaming videos, audio is still on. If I hit the touch pad, the screen turns back on.

  Maybe the problem is with your power management settings:

• My internet quality drops every 5 seconds - 3 minutes for 1 to 5 seconds while playing games.

  * Original title: quality Internet stutters?

  The problem:

  My internet quality drops all the 5 seconds - 3 minutes for 1 to 5 seconds and I have no idea if this is my system, my router, my card or my internet provider. It is to play games almost impossible.

  

  You can see dips in connection on the chart on the attached photo.

  Complete test results: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3591022597

  Info:

  My current provider is Xfininty (Comcast Cable) and we have a bunch of 25Mbps (it's what I think it is.).

  My current router is the "double AC1900 - router Linksys band SMART Wi - Fi" and the card to go with it is the Linksys AC1200-free wire-USB AC adapter ("Linkysys WUSB6300" in the Device Manager) and "Rocketfish USB 3.0 PCI Express Card" for the adapter to be used for my computer. I need the adapter so I can access the two Wi - Fi signals, the router clears.

  |-------------------------------------|

  My System Specs are as follows:

  Processor: Intel (r) Core S 860 @ 2.53 GHz 2.53 GHz

  Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB

  System type: 64-bit Operating System

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT440

  |-----------------------------------------------|

  Other info:

  I used to have an old router a NetGear, and there was the same problem, but with a slow connection constantly. We have since then replaced by the current one and that did not help, wait for the best connection. I found a new router would fix it, but it didn't. This is why I think it's my system or my internet provider.

  My router is in the basement and I am on the 2nd floor of my house, but that has not affected all the world, so I don't think it affected me. Other dips in the connection, the quality was great and constant.

  What I tried:

  I contacted Xfinity and chatted with an agent and described the problem I did here, and they said that nothing was wrong, on their side, as they watched it. A friend suggested may have my system. In this case, I made sure everything is up to date, and I believe that it is.

  All the cables that are used for the router are correctly connected.

  Reasons:

  -Why I think this is my System: offset varies in different games. For some games, my ping will increase and it will be a "big shift" and the shift happens from time to time, rarely, while for the other games it will lag very frequently, it will be a "small shift", while there will be no change in the ping.

  -Why I think it's my internet provider: even if I got a new router and adapter, there are always these tips little lag as it did before.

  ----------

  For me, it's quite confusing, because there are reasons pointing in all sorts of directions and I don't have no idea what direction to go. I tried as much as I can, although apparently not liked very much.

  ----------

  Thanks for reading and thanks for helping if you do.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply. I was talking about the pre-installed games that I was online with like Team Fortress 2 and League of Legends. But due to another question earlier about another problem, I deleted Norton Security Suite and who seemed to have it fixed. I just hope that is not temporary.

  If you update on this, I'll post it here.

  Thanks for the help.
