im having problems with my monitor, it doesnt want to get out of sleep mode. Right now I have the comp apart which is no problem for me to put it back together. Im assuming its either the battery not giving enough power or the connection where you plug the monitor into is bad.
I left my computer running overnight as I usually do. When I went back to it this morning, it was stuck in power saving mode. When I rebooted, everything looked fine and the windows logo loaded but when I reached the login screen it went directly to Power Saving mode and got stuck there.
i recently reinstalled win 7, and I have a 7600GT, Pentium D 950 @ 3.5GHZ, 4GIGs of RAM, and a normal HDD, (my motherboard is just a generic Acer mobo that I found in a garage sale). Im having this problem where windows is detecting my monitor as widescreen, and is only showing widescreen resolutions like 1024 x 728. My monitors max res is 1280 x 1024. Which is what im used to. Currently, everything looks like crap. Ive tried new and old drivers for the GPU, and windows update is on. I even tried to force the res, it just wont force it though, it cuts off every part of it expect the top left corner.
I have a three monitor set up. Whenever I open up a browser, either internet explorer or google chrome on monitors 2 and 3, after a few seconds it automatically drags my browser into my main monitor(monitor 1, where my start button and status bar is located)
I have a setup with 6 monitors. Today my main monitor broke and I couldn't find a way to shut the PC down since I couldn't access the main desktop to get to the Start menu.Is there a way to change which monitor is the main monitor without having access to the current main monitor?
I am running a dual monitor setup with my TV hooked up via HDMI to my laptop.
Everything was working fine before, I always had the laptop as my main display yet I could play a video or a game fullscreen on the TV.
Since a couple of days, as soon as I put something in fullscreen, it immediately goes on my laptop, regardless if it's open on my TV or my laptop. I don't remember changing/installing anything that could've changed that...
I checked a bit in the AMD vision software and the Windows control pannel but I can't seem to solve my problem without switching my TV as the main display. I also made a quick search on google as well as here but the problems were mainly with Flash, which isn't in cause here.
Here are my system specs:
Toshiba Satellite L75D Windows 7 home premium 64-bit AMD Radeon 6520G
I have just did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate from XP and I am unable to get my dual monitors to work like they did in XP.
I have a DVI Radeon graphics card plugged into the agp slot, and a Nvidia geforce vga adapter plugged into a pci slot of my dell optiplex 755. When I am in the screen resolution settings the second monitor cannot be detected.
In bios I have 2 options under primary video adapter and they are auto, and onboard card. When set to auto the Nvidia card gets a signal but the Radeon does not. There are no conflicts in the device manager, and all of the drivers are up to date.
When I change the bios option to onboard card the Radeon adapter gets a signal but the other monitor cannot be detected and in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to Standard VGA adapter and a code 10 error that states the device could not be started.
I have powered down, and unplugged every cable, I also tried to use the integrated VGA adapter to the Intel G31/G33/Q33/Q35 Graphics Controller but the computer will not even boot. I get
"System Halted
Attention Unsupported Video Configuration Detected"
I have two monitors, both work fine as standalone but Windows will not detect either as a secondary.
Please help me someone, I am so used to having my helpdesk email open in one monitor and all of my other work in the other monitor.
This computer is running an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. It does support dual monitors...(I've had dual monitors active on this card before, but never on Windows 7.) But since installing windows 7, I can't even get it to detect the second monitor. I want to run the setup with the CRT as the primary monitor and the HD as the secondary.
I recently had an older HP Pavilion Media Center m7760n Desktop PC rebuilt. The old power supply fried the motherboard so I need to get a new power supply and motherboard. Here are my current specs.
Mainboard : Asus P5QPL-VM EPU Chipset : Intel G41 Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2133 MHz Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM ) Video Card : Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1) Hard Disk : WDC (1000 GB)

As you can see from above, the "video card" is actually integrated into the motherboard.The computer works perfectly except for one major problem. I have 2 monitors, one is 22" with 1680 x 1050 resolution and the other is a 15" monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution. At the back of my computer I have a VGA port and a DVI port. The 15" is connected to the VGA port and the 22" is connected to the DVI port.When first starting the computer, the 15" monitor was recognized as the primary monitor while the 22" was recognized as the secondary monitor. No problem. I simply went to the display settings and set the 22" to be the primary monitor and the 15" to be the secondary monitor. Unfortunately, this setting seems to reset as soon as I reboot the computer. The 15" is always set as the primary monitor on start up, forcing me to set the proper settings all over again. What's worse is that even after I have set the proper settings, they sometimes revert back when using Media Center or other programs. Worse yet, sometimes the monitors both go completely black ... as if the monitor settings were about to switch but got locked up some how.I'm assuming that perhaps the on board video has a primary port (VGA) and a secondary port (DVI) but even still, shouldn't Windows 7 be able to over-ride this and save these settings so that the monitor settings remain the same during startup and regular usage?
I'm using a television (32p) as a second monitor in extended mode so that I can watch a movie in the TV and play a game in the monitor (this was my main goal). Monitor and TV lays in two different ambients, both connected to the same pc, one by normal VGA cable and the other by HDMI. I managed to differentiate the audio output so that VLC player sends it's audio to the HDMI (so that only the TV plays it) and the rest of system sounds, media players and games outputs to the speakers (basically only the VLC audio is directed to another output device). I reached my goal so that I can watch a movie fullscreen in the TV and play a game in the monitor fullscreen too without any interference from one another (nor audio or video).
The thing is, because I have the TV in another ambient I can't actually see what's going on in it, as I just "throw" the VLC window to the TV from my main monitor. And here's the question: There's a way to see the TV's desktop in my monitor? Without having to set it as main monitor so to not really switch between desktops.. The perfect thing would be if I could see the TV's desktop in a window like in remote desktops applications.
I have AT&T DSL and it just drops out, I have a 2 wire router and the DSL and Internet lights will flash red when it drops, I have had this problem for almost a year and AT&T will run a useless test and tell me everything is fine. I have searched for 3 days trying to find a Broad Band Monitor to let me know when it drops and for how long, also how many times while I am at work, or just not on the PC.

My computer recently broke, would stop on a blue screen saying UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, if I ran safe mode it would stop at classpnp.sys however now after switching SATA to compatability mode it allowed me to use startup repair and after about 2 hours of startup repair the computer has managed to boot. It got to the login screen but I could not click on my profiles, then after 10 minutes the profiles disappeared and after another 10 minutes they reappeared and I could click on them. I entered my password and now it has been stuck on a screen just saying welcome with the spinning loading symbol and has been stuck for about an hour.
Somehow at MicroCenter when I picked up a handful of spinpoint drives I accidentally grabbed 4 spinpoint f3 drives series "J" and a 5th one which in the same pile, was one of the ecogreen drives. I'm using clonezilla to get my OS from the green drive to one of the F3 drives, but Clonezilla (partclone) is stuck at 100%. Does this mean there are bad parts on the source drive? If so, should I check the option in clonezilla to keep scanning if it encounters a bad sector? Is the computer waiting for me to just restart it?

I got my ****ing windows 7 upgrade disc in the mail, got it working, waited for like 3 hours, an now its stuck on the last ****ing step at 41%. It's been stuck for about 2 hours. Its not the inconvenience of having to fix an issue, if microsoft can't give me an upgrade cd that works, thats fine, I'll just find a work around, but its in the MIDDLE OF INSTALLATION. What happens when I turn off my computer? Will I be able to boot?
Will I loose everything? And of course, for windows theres no tech support, theres no chat support, your just on your own and you have to sign up for some forum and hope that someone will give you an answer to your question.

I am using 64-bit Windows 7, an LG W2363D monitor and an Nvidia GTX 560 ti. The monitor is connected using a DVI to DVI cable.I have had this computer for about a month, running fine at 1920x1080 resolution.However suddenly the resolution has dropped down to something very low, I think this was after some updates.Going into control panel or the Nvidia control panel, the computer still says that it is at 1920x1080 but this is obviously not true.It has been stuck at this low resolution for 2 days now.
Sometimes, when I turn on my pc, it gets stuck before loading the OSI can see the bios logo, all fineThen a black screen with an intermitent _ I must reset the pc from the case button because I cant even ctrl alt del (this happens right before i can see a windows logo, message, anything)and then after the reset the system boots normally
For over a month our HP Compac Presario CQ57 displayed that our Windows 7 might not be genuine. Hence, the computer keeps crashing. This morning the computer crashed and would not come back on again. The computer is stuck on Welcome. I finally got back into the computer and put a product key number, which I took from my other new computer, and it stated that the PN was accepted. However, we are still having the same problem. It will not start in Safe Mode, it will not work if we do a repair, because it asks for a cd, which we did not get with our computer. What can we do get our computer to go past the welcome screen?
I am having a problem with my new HP desktop Win 7 pro, 3.3 ghz i5 sandy bridge, 8gb ram. I own the machine since about 3 month, in the beginning I was delighted with the speed, then gradually performance decreased (as with it has with all widosw machines I have owned) the last couple of days it has been getting stuck hopelessly while I was working with lightroom and photoshop (things I need for my job) and today I finally had enough and started scanning for malware. All scans returned negative so I thought I'll get rid of some of the software I don't need, I deinstalled an expired trial for Acrobat, after that the machine di not want to start up properly anymore (It would not load all programs on start up and never get to load the sidebar apps) so I went into a software I have called ccleaner and deactivated some start up programs I thought could be the cause (can't remember exactly which ones but mainly adobe updtaer and alike) It only made things worth, nowmost of the times I start up after entering the user password the screen stays black, sometimes it loads the desktop but many of the software icons in the start mennu are not loaded, If I use shortcuts like ctrl+Alt+shift to bring up the task manager it returns an erros message(this has actually been happening for a while in a couple of occasions, just now I tried to bring up the control panel.
My graphics drivers appear to be stuck on this version - every time I try to update, it goes through the whole process and looks like it exits successfully, but every time a new update is released it says my version is 12.4. <_<
Earlier today my second GTX 680 came in the mail. I opened up my PC to install it and after putting it in and attempting to boot my PC it gets stuck while loading windows. I tried safe mode and it got stuck on classpnp.sys. I've attempted removing my second 680, my SSD, put in a boot CD. Nothing seems to be working.
I've seen many different discussions about this but they don't have the same problem I have.but in the recovery disk but this is what it says

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7 32 bit.When I got home today and wanted to turn my laptop on, I couldn't get past the startup screen, displaying the thinkpad welcome message. I have tried pressing the ThinkVantage button, and all the f buttons, esc, delete, nothing works.I have also tried inserting my Windows disc into the disc drive but that does nothing either.
