Screen does not display when coming out of standby when screen turned off after timing out

my dx7 2185dx laptop, running win8.1x64, just started a problem recently.  I run a backup program every night after I go to bed.  The backup program puts my laptop to SLEEP when the backup finishes.
My setting for lid closure is to do nothing other than turning off the display, no Hibernate nore Sleep.
If i leave the screen open when I go to bed, the PC starts up the next time OK. 
If I had closed the screen, the PC starts up OK the next day, except the screen is blank.  No combination of screen display keys turns it on.  I know the PC is OK because I can remote into it from another PC.
When the display is blank, I press the power buitton, which I have set to Hibernate the laptop,  It comes out of Hibernate mode with the display functioning normally.
I have WIN update set to get and install updates automatically.  Windows Update says al is up today after I did a manual check today.  I ran a utility that I have that checks all of my drivers.  It said all were up to date.

I highly recommend that you change your Windows update setting from automatic to download updates available but let me choose to download or install them.  
There have been some recent Windows 8.1 updates which caused enough BSOD events for Microsoft to yank them from the Windows Update servers.
Your issue might be resolved by running the system file checker utility at the command prompt.  That is certainly worth trying.

  • My new ipod nano does not  work when you turn off the computer

    I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

    Hello pepi95,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.

  • After Mozilla upgraded (5 I think) my igoogle homepage does not display when I sign in.

    I upgraded to Mozilla 5, (I think, as there does not seem to be any previous versions when I check), now my personalized igoogle homepage does not display when I sign in. I need to go to options then select igoogle. All was well before. How do I reset without having to completely redo my igoogle page. I do not believe I have the 6.0 version as that is what it says I can upgrade to. I am retired and am only learning.

    Unless you have a version of iPhoto that was 9.0 or later you will not be able to download iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store.  To get 9.6.1 you'll need to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from an online retailer like Amazon.com and then go the App Store and download 9.6.1.  Those who had an iPhoto 9.0 or later already installed have been able to get 9.6.1.  But there's been no reports from anyone who bought iLife 11 and went that route so you're at your own risk.

    the remote on apple tv does not work,when i turn on the tv Isee the appletv and the itune icon on the screen.

    Did you do a software update?
    AppleTV is unable to start properly.  You need to connect to a computer running iTunes as detailed here:

    The user guide says:
    Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
    also appear only in landscape orientation.
    Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

    My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple TV first generation, how do I restore my main menu screen?

    When I turn on, it asks for language choice, then it asks for 1080i, then it asks for network choices.  I choose my network, then it asks for my network password.  I enter the password, then it say it does not connect to network, and if I hit menu on remote, it goes back to network selection.  I can not get to main menu to see my setting for the network, because there is no menu.

    hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

    hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
    thanks

    Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
    Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
    Cheers,

  • Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

    Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
    The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
    Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
    I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
    Help, please?

    Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
    Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

  • Video icon in buddy list does not display when iChat not running?

    I have my father-in-law's computer setup to automatically log into iChat when he turns on the computer. However, it does not say he can video chat (the icon does not display) until he actually opens iChat. Is there any way around this? The only thing I thought of was to get iChat to open at login and just not display the buddy list.
    Basically, I want him to be available to video chat with his grand daughter...but he doesn't need to see the buddy list or the app for that matter. She would initiate all chats.
    Thanks
    Brian

    I am trying to imagine what you have done here.
    It is possible to have iChat as a Login Item.
    It is possible for iChat to start Up with the Buddy Lists hidden.
    From there Chats can be started from the File menu or Apple key and N together.
    To do it this way you have to know the Screen Name of who you are calling.
    You should be able to accept incoming A/V chats.

  • Content does not display when page first opened

    Hi All;
    I have a contenta are/region which I have divided into multiple tabbed areas. I have two main tabs that divide the content into two major topics. Within each of these main areas I have added 4 to five tabs. One set for example holds a calendar, another tab a news release area and a third a content area for holding multiple folders of a department's documentation. The problem I am encountering is that when I first bring up the page all I see are the tabs and no matter what tab area is exposed the content within it is not displayed. For example, I start with the Calendar tab active (the calendar does not display). I then click on to say the document area, which displays all of its content's correctly. When I return to the calendar tab the calendar is displayed. My question... how can I ensure that the calendar (or any other tabbed area's content is displayed when the user first brings up the page?
    PS. This is a hot topic since I will be demoing my pages to my managers next week in an effort to convince them that Oracle Portal is the way to go.

  • My Online Number Does Note Display When I Call Out...

    I have been told by people I call that their phones do not display my online #. They see Unknown Number or Number Available or Another # I do not recognize.
    This is a new problem for me. I have had the same online # for over a year.
    Thoughts?

    This so full of BS on Skypes part, I have to constantly come to my settings on this web site to reinactivate caller ID, it is the only place to do it, there is no setting on the app itself. First, why is the setting not being saved?  Who is turning it off? Why do I have to go this website to activate it and same with the voicemail message greeding? Should be done via app! 

  • I have just purchased Quicktime Pro but Trim does not display IN and OUT options. It trims to the frame on display.

    I have just installed Qicltime Pro but when I edit a video file and try to set the In and Out points, it does not show any way to set them. It trims the video down to the one point on display. Have I installed the software correctly?

    QuickTime Player 7 Pro is in the Utilities folder.
    To set in and out points set the position you want in the timeline and tap the i key. Move to the end of your selection and tap the o key. To step frame by frame move the playhead by tapping the left/right arrow keys.
