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

    Hello

    I plugged my Compaq 420 on my HD TV via a VGA cable.

    Now, I love watching videos of youtube on my HD TV.

    However, the screen goes black after about 15 minutes. So I have to move my mouse to bring up the screen again.

    I thought it was the standby screen so I changed the setting to 60 minutes, but still the screen goes black after 15 minutes of watching the video.

    If I move the mouse whenever a whilte (entry reachs 15 minutes) the screen becomes black ever so I move the mouse every time some time when I look at something more than the 15 minutes. but I don't want to get up from the couch every 10 minutes so please help change me the setting so that the screen is not black.

  • 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?

  • Equium P300-16 t - screen goes black after 5 minutes

    I'm a total novice when it comes of laptops so not even sure if I use it properly, but if his left not used sometimes for even 5mns, the screen becomes black and cannot not be woken up with pressing keys or the mouse.

    The other lights are all on but when I try to unpress the NumLock light is frozen. The only way to fix is to turn off and on again. I'm on windows vista.

    Any help at all would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    You can see the same problem on an external monitor or this only happens on an intern? In addition, it would be interesting to know what display driver that you have installed and if you use the preinstalled operating system.
    Also, update the display driver could also be helpful in this case.

    It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem and in the worst case, it s a hardware problem and something should be replaced. :(

  • 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

    These are as common as dirt

    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.

  • 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 L - LCD monitor flashing black after desktop management

    My LCD monitor started flashing black at startup. It is not if I sign out and then sign back in, only at startup. Can I open a session, the office charge and everything seems normal, then after about 7 seconds, everything goes black, then quickly, the bar tasks appears then disappears and then the desktop becomes visible again momentarily but turns black again. He quickly repeated it two or three times then starts normally.

    Everything seems to work fine otherwise. I disabled my antivirus, so it would not start but that did not help. I did a registry clean up lately so I've restored everything back to well before it began and that has not helped either. I did a lot of installation and uninstallation of software recent but is unable to identify anything that might have caused it. This computer is about 2 years old. I have Vista 32-bit, service pack 2.

    Someone at - he never seen this before or have any ideas what might be the culprit? Appreciate very much all the advice.

    Hello

    I doubt that this problem has something to do with the software or some registry keys. I think that it s unwanted material.

    It would be interesting to know if you notice the same problem on an external monitor. Thus, you can check if the problem is the graphics card or just the monitor internal, but in both cases, Exchange material would be needed.
