Windows 7 screen goes black

A PC brand new, all updates, installed the latest version of Skype.

When I make a call the screen call comes in then the screen goes black, no video running and so the screen turns off.

No keyboard input or mouse entries don't work back on screen.

The call follows through the test call is running its normal cycle.

Only solution is to manually restart the PC.

Any ideas?

Thank you

  • Qosmio F60-100 - after that upgrade RAM screen goes black

    Hello world
    I upgrade my RAM a g-skill 2 * 4 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
    I have a Qosmio F60-100
    I am on Windows 7 pro N
    I checked whether they have updated bios (the toshiba soft explain to me, that there is not an update available)
    I checked if the RAM were compatible with my laptop (these have been suggested to me)

    When I put the new RAM in the laptop, in "Starting Windows", the screen goes black and the fan works hard.
    So I'm not able to install my new RAM.

    These ram are compatible with my laptop?
    What is the problem?

    Thanks so much for all those who can help you.

    PS: English is not my mother tongue, sorry about that...

    Hello

    According to your Qosmio notebook specifications can be improved up to 8 GB. The comparable memory modules are:
    2 GB DDR3-1066-PA3676U-1M2G
    4 GB DDR3-1066-PA3677U-1M4G

    I don't know that references your RAM modules but the behavior described is probably as a result of the use of non compatible modules.

  • 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...

  • Windows 7 doesn't recognize as input joystick, so constantly, the screen goes black

    Unlike Windows XP (not sure on Vista), Windows 7 does not recognize he entered occurs when I use my controller. For this reason, my screen goes black every few minutes, as he would if I left the computer entirely. How can I get Windows to recognize the controller as input device, in the way that my keyboard and mouse?

    I am aware that I can just turn off the screen saver, or remember to touch the mouse every few minutes. But workaround solutions, not solutions.

    I just want to clarify the step 2 for everyone because he left me scrathing my head for a minute. Ignore the real joystick listed in Device Manager and expand Interface devices. In this list, you should see HID-compliant game controller. Make a right click Select properties, then continue to step 3.

    hope that this clears up any confusion as if I had.

  • Windows Live Mail using my screen goes black

    I use Windows Live Mail. But after a while, my screen goes BLACK

    These symptoms are probably caused by your graphics card. Have you checked for the updated drivers on the website of the manufacturer of the computer? Or the Web site of the company that produced your graphics card? Some video card manufacturers have been slow to release new drivers who play well with use of hardware acceleration WLMail.

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page.

  • 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.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

  • 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.
