loxs Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Hi I currently work as a systems admin, and recently have had problems with various monitors/tfts. If someone was to leave there machine on all night and come in the next morning they are having problems getting the monitor to come back on again.It was act as thought the display cable isnt even plugged in.Any ideas on what could be causing this? have checked obvious things ie monitor switch off have also googled it but found nothing any help would be great as its getting pretty annoying.
bhurtel Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 the moniter might have gone in power saver modeWhy don't u check for power optionRt click desktop --- properties --- screensaver -- power -- adjust as per settings
Littlebr00k Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 It could also be that the Pc's are going into hibernation after a long period of inactivity. Quite a few BIOS's don't fully support this feature and have problems resuming from it (you can check if the PC is in hibernation as usually the power led blinks on the PC).First check the BIOS of PC to see what the wakeup key is set to and try using the specified key to reume the PC, if the key stated doesn't exsist on the keyboard change it to the spacebar and try that. If that doesn't work then disable the hibernation feature in the OS and your probems will be solved.
liquidplasmaflow Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 ^ That's standby, not hibernation. Hibernation completely powers the system off after making a session file. Standby blinks
Littlebr00k Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Yep, thats right. Should have said standby not hibernation. Still the same advice though. Best to disable standby in the power options and see if that resolves the problem.
clavicle Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 This situation can also occur if you are using non-standard resolution /and/or refresh rate which has been set using a program liek powerstrip or nvidia cpanel/properties. And in case the program is not running, then after resuming the pc generally the display fails to resume fully. Try to see if that is the case.
^_^ Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 is it possible that somebody is messing with the monitors to screw with your head?try adjusting the monitor brightness control to brighter
