Display going off

My display goes off after starting the pc, sometimes after 5 mins and sometimes at the BIOS setup, and even during Windows startup repair. RAM and PSU are fine as I am using them on a different motherboard and they are working fine. Also when the display goes off, sound doesn't go off immediately, I can hear background music and then there is some noise and sound also goes off, HDD led stops blinking afterwards. Sometimes, HDD goes off along with display. So is the culprit graphics card or motherboard or something else( The other motherboard which I tried, (Nvidia 630i) had onboard VGA and it worked fine)
My specifications:
Motherboard: MSI P45 Neo-F (601-7519-010) no OC
RAM: 2X2GB Corsair DDR2
HDD: WD Caviar Green WS6400AACS, 640GB
PSU: Corsair VX450, 450W
GFX Card: ATI Radeon 4850, 512MB DDR3
Operating System: Windows 7
Processor: Intel E6750, 2.66Ghz

It is highly recommended to use identical modules. Using non-identical but similar modules either works properly or it doesn't. The answer depends highly on what specific memory combination is going to be used on what system. So, basically, if you can avoid mixed configurations, avoid them. If you already have the modules there in front of you, go ahead and simply test it. There is no risk of damaging anthing (well, at least not in general).

but since pc is booting properly, motherboard should be fine right?
Probably --> which means that I personally believe that a problem with the video card is more likely to be the cause. That is why it makes a lot of sense to start testing on that front first. However, the mainboard is not necessarely out of the equation. It is not very likely, but still not totally impossible that the mainboard is the cause for your problem.

Display goes off and comes back only when Satellite A210 is restarted

Hi,
Satellite A210 displays goes off now and then and comes back only when the machine is restarted.
Usual runtime runtime 30 or 45 mins
Please advice
# Is this a hardware problem or software?
# Does some one else faced same problem do advice?
Machine is year and a half old runs windows vista basic that comes with it.
I have reinstalled the display adapter drivers also the problem remains same

Hello
Have you tested an external monitor on the notebook?
If the external monitor works fine it seems to be an internal display issue and must be replaced.
Are you running the factory settings on your notebook or have you installed your own Windows version? Before you go to an authorized service provider you should restore the factory settings to determine if its a hardware or software problem. With the factory settings all should work properly and if not in my opinion its a hardware problem.

My display goes off when Battery being charged on Acer E5-511 after upgrading to Windows 10

I upgraded my window 8.1 to Window 10 on Acer E5-511 machine yesterday. I notice that when I switch on power to charge its battery, a beep sounds and display goes off. when power is again switched off the display comes back with a beep again. However, when the machine battery is allowed to charge for some time, either it goes to hibernation mode or stops working since display does not come back even after switching off the power supply. This peculiar problem did not existed when I had used this Notebook with windows 8.1 for past eight months. Can any one help me to solve this problem as i am being forced to charge the battery only when Notebook is not powered on.

Sattelite 1800-752S - the display goes off

Hi everybody.
I have a satellite 1800-752S.
SInce a ew months ithas a wierd problem: the display goes off. If i press and quickly release the lid button it comes back on, but after that goes off again. SOmetimes ot goes off immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. SOmetimes it keeps being on when I am running from battery, and annoys me on AC, sometimes the versus. It works quite well, after I turn it to standby or hibernate a few times, and after a restart it annoys me.I have updated its BIOS to the lates from this site, that wouldn't help. I assume it is a hardware problem, because it is the same problem under Linux, and I have tried to install different verisons of drivers and Windows (not only the one from the Recovery CD). Did anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Roman

Hi,
I think you are right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try to connect an external monitor. If it works without problems while the notebooks display goes off, then it must be a hardware fault.
I assume it's a problem with the FL-inverter. You have to give your mashine to a Toshiba service partner for repair.

Satellite A200 - Display goes off for no reason

I've a Satellite A200-E530D running Windows Vista Home Premium. For the past month, i've had something strange happening to my computer, soon after boot up, the display goes off. for no good reason! the only option i have is to hard boot the system and everythings fine...though a couple of times after restarting it again went off.
I've tried updating to the latest display drivers (I have a Nvidia Geforce 7300 Go graphics with a 128 MB of VRAM)
Another strange thing, Vista SP1 doesn't install on my machine. tried uninstalling my Anti virus, but that hasnt helped either.
Can anybody shed some light on my dark display?

im hoping its not a failing inverter board. hardware support where i come from (India) costs a bomb, and for a laptop, its a hell of a lot more than a bomb.
i dont think its a failing inverter board though...shouldnt the board fail regularly while im using it then? the fact that my display switches off (and dude, it switches OFF completely, no backlight at all. my laptop responds only to a hard boot in the @$$) right after i switch on my computer points to a software malfunction. because, afterwards, my PC works just fine for the the next seven or eight hours that i use it for.
im guessing there something wrong with the way the drivers are loading up...or something.
maybe i should change the power options? i've configured the screen to switch off after a period of 1 min of no activity. and my laptops start up time (from the time i log in, to the time the little windows hourglass sign disappears) can be a little longer than a minute. is it possible that theres something wrong going on there?
like i said, im at my wits' end!

T43P display goes off

The computer has been great, no problems, until a few weeks ago I was using it for GPS duty while driving. Suddenly the display went off, rebooting would bring it back for a few seconds but would shut off. I let it rest overnight and has been fine for two weeks. Today it shut off again. My external larger flat panel still works, but the computer's display is off. Any common failures, where to start looking, etc? Thanks for any advice...

What he was referring to is GPU, the graphic card, and that's why I asked you to run PC-Doctor and see what shape the video adapter (another way of saying GPU) is...
This is a known problem on T4x and R5x ThinkPads with ATi GPU, although T43/p had better soldering techniques applied and is generally less prone to this failure, but it does happen on occassion.
Assuming that this indeed is the problem, if your machine is out of warranty, your choices are re-balling/re-flowing the solder in the GPU area, or motherboard replacement. I can direct you to a place that does this type of work (re-balling) for me, and they provide warranty on their repairs, I have been nothing but pleased so far, PM me if you need to.
Good luck.

Display goes off in car

I have recently changed my phone from a 6230i to a 6680. I have a CK-7W kit so I changed the cradle to suit. My problem is, on the old phone when in the car kit the display stayed on all the time (it did not need to power save as it was connected to the car). On the new phone the screen darkens after a time and then goes into screen saver no matter what I seem to try. The car symblom shows on the screen and all functions seem to work fine, but I would like the screen to stay on. Can anyone help?
Regards Old Sparkie.

There are many models of Nokia phones that I got hold to, & I experienced that some, the screen savers are still active even if on charger & no way one can disable it, only change the time to max of 60secs. Putting a phone on cradle is like putting it in charger.
The only solution( I stand to be corrected) is a third party software, to have it always on.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Display goes off when close lid and open it again [Lenovo G580]

Hi everybody,
I have a problem due a new update, when I close laptop lid and open it again, there's nothing on screen (like power off laptop) and webcam's light is on! when turning on my laptop it would be on for a second, but it freeze on this state, I think the problem is with kernel but i'm not sure cause i've updated everything.
And this problem occur in both X and other tty.
I'm not sure it should belong here or I should move it Hardware/Kernel section.
Kernel: Linux GNU 3.14.0-4-ARCH
Xorg-server: 1.15.0-5
Nvidia: 334.21-4
everything is updated.

Display going off on linux terminals and session ends when kept ideal

Hi,
When I have logged onto linux server using tarantella.If the terminal is inactive for some time it is terminating my session automatically and i have all of my terminals as blank. I do not get any display in terminals opened. Could you please help me with this.
The following error message i am getting:

Mac mini (late 2014) display Flicking/goes Off and On

Hi everyone!
Well.. i can say that, this is my first Mac computer and i already have problems. I have read a lots of comments and i have seen that many people experienced this problem with Mac mini, like display corruption, not property colors, flicking, display goes off and back on... or just standing on sleep and not turning on. (like Mac mini 2012 or 2011.. i have read about same issue..) so whats really happen?
So, from the peoples comments i tried possible solutions:
SMC Reset
I have Reinstalled the OS X Yosemite (complete HDD format)
I have changed the cable
(Nothing works)
Some detail about my connection:
I have Mac mini (late 2014) i5 2,6GHz dual-core, 8GB ram, Iris Graphics (Intel), 1TB HDD
I have connect it via miniDP to DP > to > Dell UltraSharp U2713HM
My following issue:
-Screen goes Off and On without reason (mostly happens when i connect my iPhone i have noticed, or maybe just impression..)
-Screen goes to Sleep without reason while i'm on computer (this normally happens after a few off and on screen flickers)
-Image corruption/distortion (after this display goes off and on, or just remaining on sleep.. like not detected
I hope someone can help me with this problem, i just bought it one week ago and i don't know what should i do, because as well i have read that even i'll change it, it can have the same problem.
Waiting or a response,
Best regards.

Update: I'm coming back with a possible tip for fixing this issue (I hope Apple Stuff will notice this.)
So, how i said in the previews message.. the Image corruption / and going Off and On the display happens mostly when i'm connecting the iPhone. Theory tested a few times, and take a guess.. it's true.
When i'm connecting the iPhone, the monitor goes crazy.. for some seconds, turning off and on.. and sometimes Image corruption, then coming back like nothing happened. Because i found out this, i was making more tests with the iPhone.
First, erasing the disk and reinstall the OS X again. Everything worked perfectly, until i was connecting the iPhone. I got directly Image corruption and Screen goes Off and On a several times. After this is happening, and you'll unplug the iPhone and put it again, you may not receive again Image corruption or Screen to go Off and On, but after a restart when you'll connect it again, you will receive almost everytime.
So.. after this, i was testing further. I have Paired my iPhone with iMessage and FaceTime, to see if can be a possible issue there also. True again!
Receiving messages from iPhone to Mac / Sometimes display goes Off and On
Receiving a Call via FaceTime to Mac (from your iPhone carrier) / Image corruption / Screen Off and On
After a day of test, i have realise where is the problem. "iPhone connection/Mac"
So, the cable it's good (connection miniDP to DP), by Surfing and by running other Apps i have no problem (at least until now), the only problem what cause the Image corruption and Screen Off/On for several times, it is only because of the connection with the iPhone.
I hope is someone there from Apple Stuff that will take this as notice to solve this problem. Because it is 99% software problem, and i hope it will appear soon enough an Update/Fix.
Thank you!

HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

Closing MacBook lid w/ mini-DVI to second display turns off second display

I hooked up a MacBook to another display via the mini-DVI to DVI adapter but, when I close the lid of the MacBook, the other display goes off. The display settings are set to mirror and this doesn't happen with my MacBook Pro. With my MacBook Pro, I can close the lid and continue working with the monitor connected directly to the DVI port without issues. Anyone have any suggestions as, to use my MacBook this way, both displays remain lit which is kind of pointless. Thanks in advance,
Derren.
Black 2 GHz Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.5 GB RAM

It is puts the Macbook to sleep when you close the lid.
All you need to do is press a key on the external keyboard or mouse and it will wake up the Macbook with the lid closed. If you are using bluetooth for your external devices, ensure that the "wake from sleep" option is enabled under Bluetooth setting in System Preferences.

Window Goes Off-Screen When Mouse arrow Is Moved To Upper Right Hand Corner

It seems like this happened recently. When the mouse is moved and pointed to the upper right hand corner of the screen everything displayed goes off-screen to the right and left sides. The edge of the window is shown on the right side and a shadow on the left side- when I click on those everything pops back on-screen. I have a bad habit of moving my mouse quickly and this has become annoying.
I thought it may have been a "Hot Corner" but I checked and this feature is not enabled(in Expose/Dashboard)
How do I disable this feature?
Thank you in advance.
Steve

Hello Steve:
It definitely sounds like the hot corner "all windows" is enabled. There is a preference file that needs to be trashed, but I cannot figure out which one (no help to you).
Be sure that none of the hot corners are enabled and then restart.
You might also try resetting PRAM (although I do not think that will do anything).
