SL300 and HDMI. External monitor goes black for 2 to 5 seconds then picture comes back
Hello
When you use the external monitor with my SL300, the screen off for 2 to 5 seconds, then reappear. It does this perhaps once every two days. Sometimes this happens much more often. And then it's very annoying. When the image reappears, the HDMI signal indicator (monitor is BenQ 2400W) is displayed in the screen.
I tried different cables without change. My PS3 connected to my screen via hdmi cable and it works fine.
Any idea what the problem might be? I think its my SL300 signal loss but wanted to see if anyone else had this experience?
My hardware:
BenQ 2400W (1920 x 1200)
SL300, Intel graphics version
I "solved" this problem by using the following cable HDMI to DVI instead of HDMI-HDMI cable:

Every single HDMI-HDMI cable gave these power cuts. According to Lenovo support, it is probably a driver related problem.

Spectrum of HP x 360-13-4003dx: external monitor goes regularly goes black
Hello
I have a HDMI connection on my external monitor and regularly during normal use, the external monitor will be black flick two or three times and then be ok again for a while. It stays black ranging from 5 to 20 seconds, with the screen saying "no entry" for longer periods, then he comes back and will be authorized for a period of time. May occur several times per hour.
This behavior happened also when I connected to a flat TV with a HDMI cable, so assume it is not the external monitor.
Does this mean that my external video card is going wrong? Should I try to update the driver?
Thanks for any help.

Why my monitor goes black after a minute?
I have my standby power setting to turn off the monitor after 15 minutes when it is plugged. But if I don't move the mouse or press a key for a minute, the screen goes black. It's very embarrassing, especially if I watch a video.
Is there another setting somewhere that says monitor going black after a minute of no activity?
Thank you
PAM
Hi Pam,.
Here's another setting worth it.
Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select Personalize. Click the link to screensaver at the bottom right. In the next window, adjust the time before the screensaver kicks in the drop "Wait" to a more acceptable value. Click on apply, then Ok to save the change of the parameter.
Kind regards

The program Pro first monitor goes black very frequently
I had a few problems with Premiere Pro because I upgraded to El Capitan last year, but the biggest problem has been the program monitor goes black while editing.
It can happen at any time after the seemingly any task. Once it goes black, the only way to solve this seems to be to quit the application and reopen it. I can always perform any task I want, and you can still hear the audio on playback and washing, but I don't see all the video of the program.
Sometimes I can perform an action until it goes black again, sometimes it may take a few minutes.
I had recently replaced logic board and have installed the latest update of Premiere Pro, but the problem is only getting worse. Today, the software was virtually unusable.
Data sheet:
Premiere Pro CC 2015, build 10.3.0 (202)
MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end 2013) (recently had map logical and retina display, replaced by Apple)
El Capitan 10.11.5 OSX
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Pro Iris 1536 MB
Seems to be common, but perhaps for different reasons, depending on your configuration. These discussions could help:

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

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:

If the problem is not resolved, please respond with more information to help you best.

Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen
Hi all
I have a similar problem with A100-646 (purchased in Italy). Computer laptop LCD and monitor external display screen black but without another problem at the start of the system. When the laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it works for a week with no problems.
Unfortunately, there is no adequate service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a power problem.
Is there another idea? Does anyone have a service manual? ([email protected])
Service manuals are available only for the technicians of the ASP.
Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware problem, and therefore, you should get in contact with a technician for laptop to check defective parts! -
The laptop monitor goes black after the external vga connection screen
Hey,.
I have a Qosmio G50 - 10H, Windows 7 32-bit. After connecting to an external monitor, the internal laptop display becomes almost black. It is possible to see some items on the screen, but it is dark gray to work on. It does not much adjustment of color or brightness (black to very dark grey). The main problem is when disconnecting the external monitor monitor internal still is dark gray and still does not have many adjustments. It's so dark on the adjustments of brigthest that it is impossible to work. I downloaded the latest version of the driver for the support, but still the same problem.
Any suggestions?
It is somewhat strange.

My Windows XP GMA 3100 monitor goes black randomly and returns
Can someone help me get rid of this nuisance? The connection has no problem. Recently my screen becomes black and returns to normal and usually takes a lot of time to come back :/ I can move my mouse and type using the keyboard and do normal stuff as usual. It seems that the monitor is the problem. Any advice?
Thanks in advance.Borrow another monitor and connect it to your PC, put your monitor on the other PC. If your monitor keeps going in the dark on another PC then junk and replace it because it is defective. If the borrowed monitor will Dim on your PC, then you have a video card hardware problem that should be checked.
