T410 monitor goes black intermittently
Running Windows 7.
I have read similar problems that others have posted, that is the screen turns black during start-up. My machine starts very well, but every few minutes the screen goes black / dies - no backlight.
It takes a minute or two, then the display will return to normal. Then it goes black again. Then it returns to normal. He does not sleep, HARD drive keeps spinning.
I checked the graphics driver - no update available. I reinstalled it in any case. Bed help lenovo thinkvantage - utility-is of no help.
At this point, I wonder about the integrity of the motherboard.
Help! And thanks in advance.
Thanks for the quick response.
After validation, it gradually occurred to me that something that I might be the problem. A few months ago, I cut the end of a cable to the wide and plugged VGA on the laptop, using the screws to make a firm connection. The "stump" of cable extended about 20mm, and that I have attached the ethernet cable and the power cable with a cable tie. (This was done to prevent stress on the connections that I move the machine around the room.)
It works very well and has worked without a hitch for months.
As I said, after validation, I started to wonder if the break of the end was the problem - stray strands of son intermittently touching a cable, they should be isolated, in force at random to fill various pins on the VGA output jack.
To test this situation, I upgraded the insulation of the wires from the end cut off and, of course, no more display problems.
(Feeling stupid and clever at the same time.)

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:

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.

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.
You can switch between LCD and external monitor by using the FN + F5 key combination?
If you can switch to the LCD only again everything OK? -
Monitor goes black, but only if Vista closed system (works fine with Linux!)
My Vista system works AOK except the monitor displays no more than 2-3 seconds. However, it is on with a fixed green light and if I turn the monitor on and off I have the chance to see my login screen of Vista or office for 2-3 seconds. Then black again.
BUT, if I first start a live distribution of Linux on a USB key and to allow Linux to shut down the system, I can start then in Vista without difficulty and the screen stays on for the duration of the session. If I reboot with Vista or go out with Vista, I lose again the screen until I use Linux. It's driving me crazy!
This has happened for about three weeks now. All updates applied. PowerSave off (as it has also causes loss of monitor). Vista just on board: not a dual-boot configuration. I only use Linux live via USB in order to access Vista with a display of work!
Any suggestions? (NB: I can't use System Restore as it is turned off.) (DOH!)
Hi TranquilPC,
There is a possibility that this would happen because of problem with the video card on the computer.
Check to see if you can boot to the desktop using video in low resolution (640 × 480) Enable"startup option.
(a) click the Start button, click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click restart.
(b) do one of the following:
· If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.
· If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.
(c) on the screen Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select tActivate video low resolution (640 × 480)and press ENTER.
(d) log in your computer with a user account with administrator rights.
If you can see your desktop, there is problem with your video card on the computer
I suggest that you manually download and install the updated drivers for the video card by visiting the manufacturer of the card and check if it works.
Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly
I hope this helps!

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:
http://www.DealExtreme.com/details.DX/SKU.2703
Every single HDMI-HDMI cable gave these power cuts. According to Lenovo support, it is probably a driver related problem.

The program monitor randomly goes black
First Pro CC uses for months and no problem. All of a sudden, the program monitor goes black, then back over video transitions between clips, then goes black again.
I have a HP workstation, with a processor of xenon 12-core, 32 GB RAM, 9 TB of disk storage hard (the first 1 TB flash), blazing fast dedicated with a ton of video memory video card. It's worked wonders for 12 months and with all the other products Adobe (Photoshop, Lightroom) and hundreds of other programs. I have NOT changed any video card or video processing settings. I don't have a hardware problem - it is a problem with Adobe first Pro CC.
I spent the maximum money on the hardware and the software more later/better (even though I hate paying a subscription for software). And now this... Moreover, I understand now and still not a bug, but when the screen goes black in a video software - well, it's like losing your direction while on the highway - it's sort of IMPORTANT - wouldn't you say Adobe?
I'll scream at Adobe on Monday, but have a serious work that must be done this weekend.
Is there any help that works?
You use the latest versions (which numbers?) of Adobe CC?
Try resetting the workspace.
Try to update or restore your video driver.
Try to remove the media cache files.
Try resetting preferences.
