Screen goes black, OK with/off voltage.

Every 5-10 minutes, the monitor will black, its OK and OS still running.  Monitor the off switch / restore image.  Windows 7 with Dell 2000FP monitor what Device Manager reports it as a generic PNP monitor and the driver for the NVIDIA G Force 310 card.

Sounds like the monitor is dying and in need of replacement.  Borrow a monitor from a friend and connect it to your computer, in turn put your monitor on your friend's computer.  The cause of the problem should soon become obvious.

  • Screen turns black and shuts off when wakes up Portege Z830 - 11M

    Hi all

    Anyone know what could be the reason for the screen goes black and turns off when the laptop wakes up?
    The laptop is Toshiba Portege Z830 - 11 M W7HP, purchased in September.

    The problem started shortly after I bought the laptop, but gradually began with a period of 1-2 seconds black screen whenever I tried to wake the portable computer of fashion 'sleep'. He didn't look like a regular part "blackout" of the wake-up process so I just tried to ignore it, but it started to happen more often recently. It got really worse after two months of use and the black screen two or three times until I'm at the login screen. The error was also difficult to re-create because it was random. Sometimes, the screen went black once sometimes twice or just blinked for a fraction of a second.

    Yesterday, I worked during the day and at night it turned really bad. The screen went black several times, whenever I went back to work after a short break.
    I changed the laptop off when I'm done, but when I turned back on it in the morning, the screen was just black. I tried to use the touchpad, but it is only the screen on the gray.

    Can anyone suggest what to do?

    So finally that cannot start the laptop is Hmm normal?
    It would be interesting to know if this help:
    -Battery adapter and ac removal
    -Press and hold power button do this for 30 sec
    -Then reconnect both sides.
    Turn on the laptop?

    If this is not good enough, you're in trouble I guess its hardware related issue and in this case you must service help

  • 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.

    If so, you can go to the ATI site and download the latest driver for this video card. Here are the download links for the drivers later, Windows 7, 9.9 32-bit and 64-bit version for the Mobility Radeon 3000 series.

  • Updated to firefox9 and now when I use extension of tree style tab the screen goes black, with the exception of the "window of the tab" and the part of the screen behind him

    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...

  • Spectrum x 360: screen goes black randomly when on battery and some energy-saving options enabled

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
    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. :)

  • my screen goes black when I plug in my HDMI cable

    I have never had a problem with the help of my my TV HDMI cable to watch movies from my laptop.  I do not know whether the windows update is causing this problem, but when I plug in my HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen goes black and the TV receives no signal.

    Hi, I had the same problem when I plugged the hdmi for the first time that I chose the 'graphics options-> output-> TV' at first by right-clicking on the desktop. Later I selected "change pc settings" section of charms and the selected tab devices add a device and while the laptop was looking I have connected the hdmi cable. This is how I got to the TV screen.
    probably, you will need to turn off the TV and the laptop first. Then put on the tv and select the desired hdmi option before you put on the laptop and pressing on the ' logo window + p "or"fn + f4"keys. Lets c if it works

  • NB100 - screen goes black afater 5 min of use

    Hello
    I have a laptop NB100 with a very strange problem. I start the laptop and start to work, no problem.
    But after 5 minutes, the screen goes black and the only thing that is possible is to turn off the laptop.

    After that I start it again, but all black stays and you can't do anything with the laptop.
    The lights of the battery, wifi and power led are lit, but that's all.

    Even weirder: I first let it run the laptop battery empty.
    When it's empty, and AC power is connected, that the laptop turns on again, but once again only for 5 minutes and all the rest, described above.

    The laptop is used only 1 week before this problem occurred, but was bad enough bought more then a year ago, so not more than guaranteed (or what you thought: s)

    So I really hope someone can help me here!

    Thank you in advance!

    Best regards, Steve.

    Hello

    I had a similar problem with my laptop Toshiba-No.
    The problem was related to a graphics card driver
    I have no idea why this has happened but after driver graphics display card worked properly no black outputs plus

    I think you should check the graphics chip and should update the graphics driver
    I recommend to use the driver from the Intel page if you have an Intel GPU
    Page Intel drivers are newer

    In addition, you should check if the BIOS is up to date
    If a newer BIOS is available, check if you can update this

  • Satellite A210 - screen goes black without any reason!

    I got my satellite A210-171 for a few years and a few months ago, everything was OK.
    But our when I'm working or watching a web my screen goes black and nothing seems to work?
    The only way around this is to turn off the power switch on the laptop then restart it again.

    I then get a message saying roughly...
    Computer has not closed properly OR sound closed to protect all data, then a countdown begins to re open!

    It may be OK for a few hours or maybe a day there is no limit of time on it!
    If anyone can help I would be very grateful, but please don't use of computer jargon that I don't understand

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem. It could be a hardware malfunction or a software problem.
    But as Auma says you should test the RAM with Memtest86. It's really very easy to use and can detect modules memory defective RAM check it!

    Another question is have you installed a different display driver or updated? I ask this question because the display drivers they are not causing Toshiba sometimes of questions.
    In any case, I would recommend updated display driver and check the site Web of Toshiba for a update.

    And before moving on to an authorized service provider reinstall you Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. So you will get back factory settings and with these settings, your laptop should work fine.

    Good bye

    hope someone can advise what I need to do.

    I have a hp touchmart 310, product # qp749aa #aba with windows 7.

    computer emits a loud whistle, then the screen goes black.  It will not respond to the keyboard or the mouse, and I have to hold the on/off switch to turn it off.  This has happened twice in the last 3 weeks.

    Hello 1-donald,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand your desktop PC HP TouchSmart 310-1126 has frozen twice in the last 3 weeks to force you to reset the computer to get it restarted. I provided you with the HP support document: computer hangs or freezes (Windows 7), which I would like to reference if your computer crashes again. Through this document us can we identify any what software is causing the problem and fix it.

    If the document that I provided does not resolve the problem and your computer continues to freeze we could be faced with a hardware problem. To test this I provided you with the HP support document: test of hardware failures (Windows 7, Vista), which will guide you through the steps required to test the equipment on our computer.

    After completing the test I suggest you contact HP support for service options.
