HP2311x Goes blank/black when connected to my hp Pavilion HPE

Last month, my monitor started to go blank periodically and with increasing frequency. The system setup is:
Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
GeForce GT 530 video card
8 Gb RAM
Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
I have:
Cleaned the video card
Upgraded to the lastest GeForce driver
Updated the monitor driver
Factory reset the monitor
Changed the connector wire from DVI to HDMI
Connected another monitor to the HP Pavilion (works fine)
Connected the HP 2311x monitor to my Chromebook using HDMI (works fine)
Connected the monitor to my son's laptop (works fine)
The only time that the monitor goes blank/black periodically is when it is connected to the HP Pavilion HPE. A new monitor may solve the problem but as the monitor works with other computers I do not think that it is dead yet.
From the actions of the monitor it seems to switch off and then back on again.
Any ideas as to what to do to fix the issue?

  • Exporting video from media encoder. Half of the video export other half goes blank/black

    Hi! I'm in need of help I've been trying to export this video to media encoder for about 20days now. I'm working with premiere pro cs5.5 and after effects cs5.5-
    Dynamic link, I've updated the two and everything, every time I try to export my video half willl export and I believe after effects crashes and thats when the other
    half of the video goes blank/black, this happens everytime, it's very frustrating and I don't know what is causing this. it actually just started.
    it also does this on cs5 as well.
    I am working on windows 7 HPE-510y Hewlett-Packard computer
    14gb of ram

    Have you checked the output in AME? I always check that before I hit go to make sure that I haven't fouled something up and that the in and out points are what I want. I spot check all along the timeline.
    I'm thinking that you have some parts of the Premiere Pro project that are shots or sequences that have been "Replaced with After Effects Composotion." If this is the case, does the blackness happen in one of these shots? If it does I'd suggest trying to render that shot in AE and replace it in the PPro Timeline. If After Effects is really crashing you'll be able to find out why.
    A little more detail about your project would also help.

  • Screen goes to black when tilted back too far...anyone else had this issue?

    My ibook has started this crazy new thing. The screen goes to black when tilted close to all the way back. It's not that big a deal, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it possibly will get worse. When it happens, I just close the lid, let in go into sleep mode, then open it back up touch a key and all's well, I just have to be careful not to lean the screen back too far. In the past, I've had to send it back twice for the logic board to be replaced and as much as I love Macs, I really feel this is not a well-made product. Thanks for any advice....

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As the old joke goes about the guy who went to the doctor and, raising his arm, said, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." And the doctor said, "Well, then, don't do that!"
    Yes, it is a familiar thing to happen to an iBook. The backlight cable can get pinched in the hinge, causing it to go off at certain angles.

  • Why the iPad became blank black when I syn with itunes and it did not work again?

    Why the ipad became blank black when I syn it with itunes of the desk top.  It did not work since then.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

    where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

    Hi,
    HDMI sound is actually comes with the video card. DV6 is a reries of dozens if not hundreds of models, which one is yours ? Please use the following steps to check and fix:
    General Instructions for Setting Up HDMI Audio
    Preliminary steps:
    1. Plug the laptop into a power source. Some of the models have a power management scheme that will not allow for HDMI audio while running on batteries. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you find that it still does not work on batteries you can change your power management settings in the Control Panel.
    2. HDMI has its own audio driver separate from the audio system of the computer ( Sigmatel, IDT, or Realtek ) . It is incorporated into the graphics card's driver so make sure you have the newest version of your graphics card driver. On models with Intel graphics the HDMI audio driver will appear in the Device Manager as "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus".
    3. Turn off the computer and TV before connecting the HDMI cable. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you disconnect the cable while the computer is running and lose your audio, try closing and then re-opening whichever program you were using that generates audio.
    4. Every time you try a different solution you should reboot the computer. HDMI audio is extremely finicky and seems to usually need a reboot.
    Make the Connection:
    1. Connect the HDMI cable to the computer and TV. If the TV has a "DVI/HDMI" port do not use it. Use a port for HDMI only.
    2. Turn on the TV and select the HDMI port you are using. Adjust the TV settings to receive HDMI audio if any.
    3. Turn on the computer. (Optional, some people close the laptop lid immediately after hitting the power button but I am not sure why. Most people should not need to do this.)
    4. Optional. Some models do better if the TV is set to be the primary display. To set, repeatedly press Fn+F8 (or ctrl+alt+F4) to cycle through the settings (laptop display only/laptop display plus external display/external display only). Reboot the laptop.
    5. Go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab. Make "HDMI" the default device. (If "HDMI" is not there, right click in the white area and look under "Show Disconnected Devices" or "Show Disabled Devices" and see if it is there.)
    Post Connection Problems:
    1. If there is still no option to select "HDMI' as the default audio playback device, try re-installing or updating the graphics driver, or even try an older version. The graphics driver is the driver for HDMI audio, not the regular audio driver. A few people with Intel graphics had better results by uninstalling the graphics driver, rebooting, and letting Windows look for a driver (instead of downloading the driver from the Dell support site).
    2. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the HDMI cable.
    3. If you are using Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center but get no HDMI audio even after it is selected as the default playback device, go to
    Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab>Audio/Playback device>HDMI>properties>Advance>Exclusive Mode and uncheck "exclusive mode".
    4. Try a different HDMI cable.
    5. Try a different HDMI port on the TV.

  • My screen goes to black when I click on FCP.  It's my fault, but why?

    I'm a new boy (both to Macs and Final Cut Pro): be gentle with me. I've done something stupid but don't know what.
    When I try to open FCP all that appears is a black screen. FCP is there, but blacked out. If I click in a corner of the screen (where the timeline window doesn't reach) it all reappears. But when I click in any of the FCP windows, it all goes to black again. If I press F3, all the windows are there but if I dare touch any, the screen goes black.
    If you can tell me how to undo whatever I've done, I promise not to do it again.

    I'm feeling really daft now. The answer lay in the Escape button: everything has now returned to normal. I should have tried that before posting, but I'd hit every other key on the keyboard looking for the answer I was worried that I'd done something disastrous. I live and learn. Thanks for your replies!
    X: Cmd F12 on my keyboard increases the volume. But you inspired me to go along the F buttons until one did something! The last one solved it. Many thanks.
    I'm very new to the Mac, but I'm rapidly learning to like it _a lot_.

  • My screen goes to black when i render and a hear a click from my g5

    am posting here because problem occurs when using FCP.
    g5 problems again, i fear.
    curious if anyone else has had this problem...
    when i start to render, my screen goes to black and i hear a clicking sound from my g5. if i hit a key on the keyboard, the screen comes back, the render starts up again, and then the screen goes to black again...another click.
    ran hardware test...it failed the logic board test...but it failed the logic board test a month ago and when i took it to apple; they said it was bad ram. i replaced the ram and it seemed to be ok until now.
    so i repaired permissions using Onyx and then the machine wouldn't restart. pulled all non-apple ram.
    reset pmu, finally pulled plug and waited half an hour. tried to re-boot, power light on g5 came on and then went off. wouldn't come back on again.
    pulled plug again, called apple.
    while waiting for apple to answer...40 minutes...put plug back in and tried to pwr up. it finally restarted, but the same rendering issue.
    apple said sounds like logic board problems and is sending someone out early next week...thank god for applecare.
    so.....anyone else every have this issue?
    thanks
    carl

    I've dealt with several G5 issues, never heard of this one. Cannot imagine what the logic board could have to do with this since there's nothing particularly unusual about rendering, nothing that is different from anything else the CPU is asked to do.
    Please return and close the thread if o get it resolved with Apple's hlep.

  • BPC Evdre cell Going blank sometimes when changing server

    Hi all,
    This is my first post on the forum, please be gentle
    I dont know if this is the right forum for BPC for microsoft , but here i go anyway
    I was wondering why when you have an EVDRE template open on on server and change the server
    the evdre cell just goes blank and doesnt want to refresh or do anything after that , until you close it and reopen
    Is there any specific reason for this happening
    Any advice would be great
    another question i have is whether anyone has managed to programmatically create a parentH2 hierarchy  everytime masterdata for any dimension changes

  • Screen goes partially black when using Motion or Compressor

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my RAM to 3 GB and am experiencing a problem I never had before. I assume it's related. When I have FCP, Soundtrack, and Motion open sometimes the screen will go mostly black when I play my simple animation in Motion. Parts of the screen are visible with eventually most of the screen coming back. However, sometimes about half an inch of the bottom of the screen stays black. This problem also occurred today when I used Compressor.
    The RAM I added is Crucial 2GB 200 PIN SODIMM 256X64 DDR2 PC2-5300.
    I also just zapped the PRAM and the problem still exists. Any help would be great!
    Thanks much.

    I still haven't solved this problem. I'm really wondering if the RAM I bought is faulty or incorrect?
    Today, after yet another mostly black screen I opened "Activity Monitor". It shows for Page In / Page out 65609 / 35157. Not really sure what it means, but I assume that's too many page outs!
    Ideas???
    Thanks.

  • Black/blank Screen when connected remotely

    Zenworks 10.3.3
    I've only come across one other post on this forum concerning this issue. Sometimes when we're remotely connecting to an XP workstation all that appears is a black/blank screen. The management and remote machines are MS Win XP Pro SP3, pretty well up to date with security patches and all. On the remote computer, the screen saver at logon is disabled, desktop screen saver is disabled, the NIC is allowed to bring the device out of standby, standby is enabled and hibernation is disabled. If you send it the reboot command, more often then not, you can catch it back at the login screen and go about your business.
    Might Zen 11sp1 fix this?

    Is anyone at the Device to see what state it is in when this happens?

  • Macbook Pro & Thunderbolt go black when connected. Can't get a picture on either.

    I have a 15" Macbook Pro Retina and I've never had a problem with it. I just got a Thunderbolt Display the other day and when I plug the MB into the T-bolt, both screens go black. I know it's connected, because I can hear sound coming from the T-bolt when I adjust volume, but I can't get any picture. Additionally, when I disconnect the MB from the T-bolt my screen is still black and I have to do 3-4 hard resets before the screen goes back on again. Any ideas what's wrong?

    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?-----------------------> 
    Read the tv user manual.  I have a Toshiba which has detailed instructions for tv to comp hookup.  If necessary call Toshiba.  Especially, if you are still under warranty w/them. 

  • MacBook not going to sleep when connected to WiFi

    Hi there,
    my MacBook 3,1 is not going to sleep as long as it is connected to WiFi.
    It starts the process of going to sleep as my VNC connection gets dropped but it stays awake. I can easily reconnect.
    Everthing else is working fine. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm facing the same syptom. I tried many things and now havw to live with putting the MacBook to slee by hand. I had some other issues just before that:
    1: The MB returned randomly from sleep while being closed. That was annoying. I think it was fixed after installing smart sleep and doing some cleanup in the preference files.
    2: Then I was put "randomly" to sleep. I figured that came from overheating the processor (thus I'm gld it went to sleep). The fan speed control was set to constantly 2000 rpm. Installing fanControl helped.
    3: Lid closing did not init the sleep mode and the backlight is not turning off. Niether does it wake up on opening when I put it io sleep manually (I have to press a key).
    The sensor for closing the lid seems to work, if it is the same which controls the maximum brightnes of the sleep indicator light (pulsing). It is darker when the lid is closed.
    I wonder if there is some settings tool.
    Besides I think the issues started after the Software updates around 12th of dec. 2008, with MacOS10.5.6 and the EFI & SMC firmware updates.
    I'm eager to get answers.
    Kid regards, Ralf.

  • Users not being notified AD password is going to expire when connecting to corporate wireless network

    Hi All
    In my company we are still on Windows XP.  Every month there are hundreds of calls generated for users who connect primarily to the company network via our Corporate wireless and the passwords expire but they are not notified it is going to expire. 
    This means when users passwords do expire they are then not able to connect to the corporate wireless and the only way to get them up and running again is for them to call the Service Desk and they will then reset the password back to what it was previously.
    This has been logged to the companies 3rd line team and they are telling me there is no way to resolve this.  I find this pretty unbelieveable as WinXP is a long established Operating system across most companies in the world and having the above
    scenario is a massive security risk.
    Does anyone know of or have experience of this?

    Hi,
    You can use Powershell script to send email notifications on AD user password expiration.
