Screen goes black often
A few times during the day, as I'm working actively on spreadsheets or word documents, my screen will go just black. He returned in 5-10 seconds that follow, but pretty annoying. I setup two monitors and I was wondering if this could have something to do with it.
I disabled all my options that made no difference to energy saving. It seems not be in hibernation, just a kind of refreshment.
Any ideas?
Try to update the graphic card (display) driver. If no update is available, uninstall the driver, reboot the PC, install the driver, restart the PC and then check.

I said the video card is corrupted or is overheating.
The screen goes black randomly. Sometimes 2 minutes playing or until hours later. Sometimes it will not.Connect the computer to another monitor. If the problems are gone, replace the original monitor. If the problems persist, then you have hardware problems on your computer. You can troubleshoot the hardware yourself:

This includes exchanging the video card for a well-known work.
On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked.

My screen goes black and 'safe mode' apears
My screen goes black in the middle of something and then 'safe mode' appears and then the screen turns off. This often happens in the middle of a game on FACEBOOK. I can hear the game continue to pay and then it times out. Quite often when I switch the power on the screen is covered in black and white letters and symbols coloured with casual, and I can see 'safe mode' in the middle of it. Takes several attempts to actually it reboot. Any help?

Hello
You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
by tapping F8 as you start several times.First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

iPhone 6 screen goes black randomly. Hard reboot solves the problem temporarily
Hi all
My iPhone 6 screen goes black randomly (usually during sleep) and when it happens, the fact response to touch or no sound. I know that the phone is on because I can always call another phone and it sounds on the line, but as I said the iPhone does not ring. Hard reboot (press home + power button for a while) will not solve the problem immediately after the restart, but after some time (hours or days), it goes black again and I have to do the same thing.
No idea why this is happening? Is it a software or a hardware problem? I'm really curious to know how to restart the phone resolves the problem.
I am not able to take it to the bar of the kind of these days because of my busy schedule. I wonder what they need to replace when I take it to the store.
Please, share your ideas.
Thank you
Sounds like a problem of software for me, especially because it forces is a troubleshooting step software, and you say that solved the problem (of least temporarily).
However, I still think that the Genius Bar would be a good idea. They have access to diagnoses that are not accessible by the user, who can easily identify which applications or processes are causing the problem. I think that they can also do this by phone, but I rarely call support so I am not sure.

Update firefox9. Using tree style tab extension. Everything works fine, except that my screen goes black when in 'tab window', with the exception of the window of the tab and the part of the screen behind him. Once out of the tab section everything comes back fine, but it is rather annoying. Checked homepage for the extension and have the updated version, firefox add-on page - it also says that it is compatible. Any ideas on that?
Am realizing pages will stay on as long as I don't move the mouse,but as soon as I do move it,black goes the screen.
Ok. A installed version 1.4? Manufacturers homepage. This is apparently what caused problems. Get rid of this and installed version 1.3? Since firefox add on the pages. Problems solved...

Satellite U920T - the screen goes black when you drag the keyboard
This morning, I turned on my U920T-10 days but the screen remained black.
At first, I thought the screen was broken, but in mode 'Tablet', the screen became. Now when I slide the keyboard the screen goes black again.
How can this problem be solved?
Hello
For me, it looks like a bad connection somewhere between the screen and the motherboard.
This could be possible reason for failure to display while sliding in and out.I guess this can be resolved easily and I think that it is a job for a technician (authorized service provider). I recommend you contact the service technician in your country to get the laptop fixed. I hope that the warranty is still valid in order to repair for free.
I hope that this can be corrected. I keep fingers crossed.

Hello everyone,
I bought this fantastic machine called spectrum x 360 and I love it.
Unfortunately since the early days I'm facing what I think it's a problem of driver/software (not the related material).
This problem only occurs when I'm on Windows, not in the bios or at the startup. JUST IN Windows envinroment, especially after the login, and when the computer was turned off. Sometimes when I use it after a while, randomly.
This occurs only when the spectrum is on battery. The problem does not appear on AC adapter.Problem: the screen goes black randomly for a few seconds and then reappear, sometimes the entire image on the right slide and there is a part that looks like yellow and corrupt, then goes black and reappears.
Windows Version: I'm on Windows Home 64 bit, build 14393.321 10 (update of the anniversary).
The entire screen works fine for normal operations, no artifacts.
Replication of the problem
Initially, I was able to reproduce the problem with the driver build 4360 (which is the version of the driver from the HP site). Whenever I loaded the home page of youtube and the banner has started playing on the screen went black sistematicly.
Then I updated the GPU driver through the Device Manager, which has improved my GPU driver to 21.20.16.4494, as of July 25, 2016 and the problem happens much more rarely.
Now I am facing this problem again but Edge works correctly and is not the cause of the problem, it can appear even when I don't do anything with the PC.I noticed this problem appears when saving options are enabled for the Intel GPU (I'm trying to translate this to English because the GPU driver Panel is in Italian):
-update panel houses;
-advanced mode; energy saving
If I disable these options, the problem does not appear or, better, for I've tested so far, he could not displayed when options are not in market, but I have not tested this very long to be sure.
In my opinion, there is a bug in the display driver, or some customizations made by HP causes problems with the driver.
The rest of the computer works correctly.
Any idea to solve this problem? Or should I keep these options turned off power saving?Hi, thanks for your help.
I have a passion for COMPUTING and ex-computer SCIENTIST, I am familiar in surveys on hardware/software questions and hope that this post will help some users get rid of this problem.
Black screens and screen corruption has been issued by the option called "auto refresh Panel" energy saving.
I did a lot of hours on battery (condition where this pop ups problem) in these days and the problem didn't show when it was turned off.
To verify that I tried to activate "Panel options self-identity" in certain occasions and, at random, on the first boot of the machine (after being turned off) the problem arises again.
It certainly is a problem with this energy-saving option.
Now everything works fine.
If the problem appears again, I will post more information.
Thank you for your support.
I think it would be useful to stick this post on top in this section of the forum, to be useful to other users and being more visible. -
Qosmio F60-100 - after that upgrade RAM screen goes black
Hello world
I upgrade my RAM a g-skill 2 * 4 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
I have a Qosmio F60-100
I am on Windows 7 pro N
I checked whether they have updated bios (the toshiba soft explain to me, that there is not an update available)
I checked if the RAM were compatible with my laptop (these have been suggested to me)When I put the new RAM in the laptop, in "Starting Windows", the screen goes black and the fan works hard.
So I'm not able to install my new RAM.These ram are compatible with my laptop?
What is the problem?Thanks so much for all those who can help you.
PS: English is not my mother tongue, sorry about that...
Hello
According to your Qosmio notebook specifications can be improved up to 8 GB. The comparable memory modules are:
2 GB DDR3-1066-PA3676U-1M2G
4 GB DDR3-1066-PA3677U-1M4GI don't know that references your RAM modules but the behavior described is probably as a result of the use of non compatible modules.

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:

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.
