How to Fix a Computer That Keeps Going into Sleep Mode?

by sun89 - 8/10/11 5:57 AM

My Monitor keeps going into sleep mode after using for 5-10mins. But the CPU is still running. I can still hear my songs playing from the com. So is there any way i can fix this?

The video card is failing. How long since you? Watch the video at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11319_7-6240575-1.html

I would go to your graphics card mfg's website and install the latest driver updates before you replace any hardware.

Then call service and ask them to fix again.

It appears that no make or model is noted and that you don't do your own repairs. Remember I can't repair over the internet either. Just supply ideas about what a member could do.

You are not telling us the ...

make (Dell, HP, Compaq, Acer, etc.) and model of the computer so we can't check to see if this is a systemic problem or not.

It was suggested you clean the computer and update the video drivers but you don't seem to have done that.

Have you gone into the Control Panel and selected the Power Options applet and set the power scheme to NEVER shut down the monitor?

You have to ANSWER these questions and suggestions so we know what you have actually tried - we are NOT mind readers.
