Screen goes into Power saving mode!

schko · 06-25-2009, 01:44 PM

Hello.

I have a problem with my screen. When I turn on my screen, it automaticly black with a blue message box in the middle saying:

Digital
Power Saving Mode

Then the power light on the screen goes from blue (on) to orange (standby). I spoke with some mates of mine, and most of them said it was the video card, or the graphics card. I am writing on this forum because I'd rather save the money if the problem is salvageable. Anyone got some advice? I tried to start my computer, but nothing happens, the screen just stay in standby mode. I tried to pull the plug from my computer to my screen and reinsert it, but the blue message box just reappears and says the message mentioned above, and then goes standby. I've tried using another screen and another plug, but it still wont work. Over the last few weeks this problem has gone worse and worse. First it started off when I tried to open full-screen games. Now it goes into power saving mode constantly.

I'm getting desperate. Anyone please help!

Regards,
Schko

Hello,

Post the make/model of the PC. If this is a custom build then post the specs.

schko · 06-26-2009, 01:45 AM

I have a LG flatron L1953TR...

I see some other people have written about their issue in here, but most of them are getting to the windows loading screen. As soon as I turn on my screen it displays the message, doesnt show anything.

What is the make/model of the PC. If custom built then post specs.

Motherboard
RAM
Graphics Card
PSU

The message you are seeing, on the monitor, is telling you the monitor is active but it's not receiving anything from the PC.

schko · 06-28-2009, 11:58 AM

any idea how to fix it?

HD_Monkey · 06-28-2009, 12:26 PM

Please post specs. of your pc as makinu1der2 requested.

schko · 06-29-2009, 12:14 PM

I don't really know anything about computers or what's inside it, but what I do know is:

It's a Phoenix Computer
Ram: 2 GB DDR2 Ram
Graphics: Nvidia geforce (dont remember which version)
This is written on my motherboard: Dunno if this is what you're looking for though: M26GTM-3VP-P3
No idea what the PSU is

HD_Monkey · 06-29-2009, 07:09 PM

The psu is the power supply unit. Box (usually at top of case) that the power cable plugs into the back of. This is what supplies power to your computer. It should have a sticker on the side of it. Copy down what it says and post or better yet take a picture and post.

The motherboard is a jetway. Are you saying the "brand" of the computer is Phoenix or is that just what you see when it boots up? That would be Phoenix bios and has nothing to do with brand.

schko · 06-30-2009, 03:05 AM

The brand of my computer is Phoenix.
On the top of the box it says: Codegen 400W with thick black writing.

Here is some pictures of what I think my PSU is. Atleast it's where the power cable to my computer is plugged in:

when this happened to me, my graphic card died, it was a year ago, exactly that, I started the comp and just black screen, nothing else.. I sent the comp to the service and they said the graphic card died

HD_Monkey · 06-30-2009, 08:32 AM

Very low quality power supply. When you turn it on, is the power supply fan spinning? Are the other fans spinning?

schko · 07-02-2009, 06:46 AM

Yes, all fans are spinning. And yes, my computer is beginning to grow pretty old :D

schko · 07-08-2009, 09:14 AM

I just noticed that the fan on my graphics card arent spinning.

HD_Monkey · 07-08-2009, 10:04 AM

Try testing the card in another pc. If it works then the psu is dying. Otherwise, dead video card.

schko · 07-09-2009, 06:48 AM

I dont know which computer I should use it in, we dont have any computer in our house that matches mine.
