Why my screen is black when I let it idle

whenever I'm on a website online, even yahoo mail etc, and offline, if I stay inactive for a short period of time my screen goes black.

Hi vitobracciodieta
 
Perhaps you set the screen saver white to appear at idle time. Therefore, your screen turns white at the idle time.
 
Set the screen saver as None for this problem.
 
a. open the screen saver settings by clicking Start, clicking Panel configuration, appearance and personalization, customization, and then click screen saver.
b. in the screen saver, in the drop-down list, click the screen saver No.
c. click on apply. Click OK.

    Hello

    Whenever I start my computer, a black screen is displayed and the mouse does not appear. I don't think this is the problem of my chart. For this reason, I am also unable to start safe mode (I'm on Windows 8). I used a CD live linux and it works perfectly. I don't want to reinstall my Windows because I have a lot of games, I don't want to redownload.
    Thank you

  • Why my screen goes black when editing?

    The last month or so, when editing in Photoshop CC on my Mac 10.6.8 the screen goes completely dark. For a while I thought it was a problem with my computer, but then went into account it only happens when I don't work in PS.

    I did some research and noticed some people suggest the update driver video or GPU or something like that. I'm not a techy kind of person. I wonder if it's my solution, and if it is, how would I go to do this?

    Thanks a lot for the update

    CC of Photoshop requires minimum 512 MB of video memory dedicated computer. Recommended 1 GB

    You have 256 MB. I advise you to set the basic drawing mode

    Also consider upgrading your computer for optimal performance specifications.

    My screen flashes black when I use the program (really bad with the text tool)

    How can I avoid this / solve the problem?

    • This occurs generally when there is a problem with the graphics card.
    • Open Photoshop > preferences > Performance > avancΘs
    • Set the mode for drawing base.

    • Restart Photoshop and see if that helps.

  • Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

    After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

    I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

    That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

    EDIT:
    After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

    So, if this happens to you:
    1. turn off your computer.
    2. wait about 30 minutes.
    3. start in safe mode
    4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

    It should work.

    Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

    The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

    Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

    So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

    But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

  • 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

  • Screen goes black when the unit reaches a point in 3d space.

    Hello

    I've simplified a more complicated model to try to understand what is happening, but I can't for the life of understand me. My camera starts to zoom in to a way of 3d layer in the distance. Everything's fine until it reaches a certain point, then the screen goes black. The camera did not run in the layer, I don't think that the lights have something to do with it. It just goes black. Any ideas?

    The first image is when the camera starts panning. The second is when the screen goes black. Note that the camera is still quite a distance between the 3d layer.

    Thank you!

    If you turn on diagrams, you'll see that your camera is not pointed at the level of the layers. I don't know why you have animation camera rotation. You have the camera facing the path, is the point of interest to market? You may experience gimball lock.

    The best way to animate a camera must do 3D null parent. Now you have a camera on a cart. Gimbal lock is not a problem, point of interest is not a problem, and it's easy.
