Black Screen On Startup "sleep Mode"

May 21, 2009

i wanted to shutdown my pc, so i press the red shutdown button in the start menu First odd thing happened: The computer went in some kind of "sleep mode" The screen was black, and my screen went in stand-by mode. The computer did not shut down. Whatever i did, the computer didnt go out of the sleep mode, smashed my keyboard, clicked my mouse, nothing happened. I was in a hurry so i had to shutdown my computer using the power button in my case. I cut off the power, and went away. The next morning, i plug the power back in and i try to start my computer again. The computer started the same way before i shut him down the day before: Fans are running, i dont hear my hard drive running, black screen, screen goes in stand-by mode after a few seconds. No boot menu, nothing immediately a black screeb Very odd, smashed keyboard again and again, pressed every button i could, but nothing happened. Even the leds on my keyboard werent lighted when the pc startsup, mouse does flicker.

Then i had the idea to maybe try and cut power again, and try again after that. So i did as i was thinking, cut the power, reconnected to electricity net, and start up again. This is when another odd thing happens: Everytime i cut power and try restart after reconnecting to power net, the pc goes to black screen fans running, shuts himself down again, and then immediately restarts 1 time. This happens EVERYTIME i cut power. After that he just stays in black screen, nothing happens. Does anyone know what is going on here? Yesterday he worked perfectly, but today he wont even start the bootup screen.

Won't Go To Sleep Mode And The Screen Is Black And Nothing Happens

Jun 9, 2009

I've just started using sleep mode the past month and recently it hasen't been working correctly, i'm using Vista x64 Ultimate. Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally the computer won't go to sleep and will just sit there doing nothing, the screen is black and nothing happens. The only way to get back into windows is to restart.

I've read everything in the tutorial section and it hasn't helped. I have a Asus maximus formula motherboard (1302 BIOS) and a Nvidia EVGA GTX 285 with 185.85 drivers. I also have a Razer Tarantula keyboard (latest firmware) with a sleep button, which i've been using to put my computer to sleep.

Black Screen: Not Getting Sleep Mode

May 31, 2009

I'm having an issue in which sometimes, I can't get my HP Vista laptop out of sleepmode. It used to only happen once in a blue moon, but now it happens so often that I just don't use sleep mode. I close the lid to get it in sleep mode. When I open the lid, everything lights up as if it's trying to get out of sleep mode, but then it just stops and I have a black screen.

It's gotten to the point where I have to shut down the computer whenever I am not using it. However, it happens about 3 times a week that when I start up the computer, it comes to a black screen in which I see a short blinking white line at the top left corner of my screen. It just keeps blinking for a while (sometimes it lasts for about 30 seconds, sometimes it can last for close to 4 minutes).

Sleep Mode, Internet Black Bars

Nov 6, 2008

I'm so glad i've found these forums, I just recently got a dell inspiron 530, Windows Vista. I recently did a factory restore on my computer and now everytime i put it in sleep mode, it wakes up after a few seconds without me touching it and I want to prevent it from waking up without my command. Also when I view videos in full screen on the internet, I have these two black bars that appear on the left and right of the screen, how can I get that off?

Vista Startup: After Two Minutes I Get The Welcome Screen. Then The Monitor Goes Black For A Full Two Minutes Before Continuing The Startup Process

Mar 23, 2008

I have just puchased my first Windows Vista computer - an HP laptop. I have purchased at leat five laptops since 2000 so I am familiar with setup and
comfortable with installations etc. I have three questions here.

1. My last computer had Windows XP and an 80 gb hard drive with 70 gb full - After copying the data only (55 GB) to my new 250 gb hard drive I have only 107 GB remaining of the 222 GB C drive partition. I have not yet added many programs. That tells me that Vista must be using 50-60 GB or more of the drive. Can that be correct?

2. My new computer takes 5-6 minutes to start up. After two minutes I get the welcome screen. Then the monitor goes black for a full two minutes before continuing the startup process. Is this normal for Vista?

3. Occasionally the monitor goes dark for a few seconds and a window pops up saying the display driver has failed but is back. Is this normal?

I certainly gained no speed with this new computer. There are many things I like about Vista. Since I have no previous experience with owning it I am trying to sort out if this computer is a lemon that should be returned or if I should just put up with the downside.

Sleep The Screen Fades To Black

Aug 5, 2008

I've only just noticed... Since my fresh install of Vista x64, it won't go to sleep anymore. I've tried the Fn shortcut, and clicking Sleep from the Start Menu. When I try to put it to sleep, the screen fades to black (as usual) then after a while, it pops back on to my logon/unlock screen (I have it set to require a password after resuming). It's as though the computer goes to sleep for no time at all, then wakes up almost instantly. It might be something to do with the one missing driver that I can't seem to get hold of (Toshiba don't do x64 for my computer ), the "Firmware Linkage Driver" or something.

Should Not Black Screen Full Screen Mode

Oct 5, 2009

Why do I get black picture after I have pressed PrtSc button? Of course it shouldn't be black and it happens only when the screen is on full screen mode (for an example videos, games etc.). It also doesn't matters if I am using just PrtSc or Alt + PrtSc - the result is the same. It looks like this ---> http://img525.imageshack.us/i/blackba.jpg/ (and, no, I didn't painted it black).

Black Screen Continue With Startup Repair

Feb 14, 2009

My windows vista crashed for no apparent reason and it will continuously direct me to a black screen with an option to continue normally or launch startup repair. Normal startup doesn't work, and the repair gives me the message "cannot repair this computer automatically". I send the info to microsoft and it gave me no options to fix it And although I have attempted the repair several times already, for some reason it says number if repair attempted:1

Root cause found: Startup Repair has tried several times but can still not determine the cause of the problem."

Root cause found: Unknown bugcheck: Bugcheck 7f. Parameters = 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0.
Repair action: system restore Result completed successfully

Note this is the results from 2 separate occations I have tried System restore to an older date but it did not work. I have tried safe mode, did a dskchk with /f but didn't do anything.

Sleep Mode Make Drak Gray Screen

When I wake my computer from sleep mode I do it by clicking the mouse. Lately, when I try and wake it, it makes all the sounds of waking but I get a dark gray screen. I can see just a tiny strip on top which shows that the page is up and running but it's covered over by a gray screen.

Delay In Startup - Black Screen & Mouse Pointer

Sep 28, 2009

My girlfriend has recently (August 09) purchased a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium x64 edition pre-installed. Everything was absolutely fine for a week or so, but now whenever the computer starts up, it goes through the welcome screen etc in normal time, then the screen goes black with a mouse pointer (which one can move freely), for about 1 - 2 minutes. After these few minutes, the desktop loads perfectly fine. It would be okay, but it's a really new laptop and it's a little bit annoying. I've tried everything I can think of to sort it out, but I'm getting sick of it.

Here's a list of what I've tried: Had a play with services.msc (I'm not an idiot, I know what I'm doing). Had a play with the msconfig startup services to remove AVG watchdog. Tried to load 'last known good configuration'. Tried some bootup stuff. Installed some original Dell software which I had removed. There's still nothing and I'm starting to stress out. My girlfriend is at university now, and she's patient but it's not really fair on her to have to wait too long for her laptop to startup, because it's an amazing laptop!

Here are the specifications: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition (Service Pack 1) Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU T4200 (2.0GHz) 4Gb DDR2 RAM ATi Mobility Radeon HD4570 (512mb Dedicated)

Blue Screen At Startup, Safe Mode Does Not Work?

Apr 8, 2009

I've got this major bluescreen issue. Two days ago, I just restarted my pc for no particular reason, and when it was about to start it gives me this bluescreen. It starts up, I get the loading bar, but then bluescreen. I tried to chose any of the safe modes, but none of them work, just gives me the bluescreen again. To sum all this, I can?t start my computer due to a bluescreen issue, not even with safemodes. It gives me alot of text, but the screen dissappears after a few seconds so I can?t even read two lines. I'm running a HP Pavilion m8055.sc with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

Put In Sleep Mode?

Mar 24, 2008

I was wondering if and when Vista is put in sleep mode, does it continue to accept updates as is explained on the Microsoft website? If this is true, then will email also download from the server if the Windows Mail program is left on and maximized and the DSL modem is left on? Because the modem runs hot I usually turn it off at night, along with the computer, but I'm having problems with the server, who returns email to senders because the server only allows a small amount of bandwidth to collect in each user's webmail box.

Monitor Goes To Sleep Mode

Mar 11, 2010

It seems for maybe the past couple of weeks it seems that sometimes the screen saver doesn't kick in.

When the time for the monitor just goes right to sleep it does. W/o the screensaver kicking in, or after it runs maybe a minute.

The odd thing is after I go and check the power settings, which all look fine, it works as it should. I have tried different screen savers as well as changes the timers. I don't know if this is from 1 numerous amt of MS updates or is there maybe a corrupt file or something.

Sleep Mode Failure

Jun 29, 2008

This is a very nice tutorial but unfortunately it did not help me. I have an HPdv9728cl laptop. Sleep works perfectly with the factory configuration but something added since seems to prevent it. I have no idea what but it is a real PITA. I tried the task manager and nothing significant seems to be running and also tried stopping all startup programs with no luck.

What Is Downside To Sleep Mode?

Mar 16, 2009

I am considering using sleep mode on my laptop and even on my desktop. I nderstand that the CPU and RAM as well as some control circuits are still "on". I am concerned that my CPU and RAM will fail sooner if I do this. Running 24 hours a day has to have some bad effects. What is the downside of using the sleep mode on either a desktop or a laptop?
