Turn the computer off.
Turn the computer on,
and keep pressing the 'F8' key until you see a "start-up" menu.
Choose "Start in Safe Mode".
Does the screen now look normal?
If so, set the "screen-resolution" to 800-by-600.
Then shutdown and restart.
Sleep mode was originally implemented simply as a screen saver. In order to resolve the above issue you need to press CTL, ALT, DEL keys. As it awakens the computer and returns back to the Desktop screen and normal operation without rebooting your pc.
Remove screensaver and sleep settings. And wait for the same duration. It is goes blank and locks up, report again. Else it is a problem with the screen saver. Change the screensaver and try again
If the screen is breaking up into multiple screens, the video resolution isn't set correctly. Change the video properties back to the native resolution.
Right-click on an empty area of your desktop screen. Click on Properties at the bottom. Now click on the Settings tab. The Screen Resolution slider should be all the way to the right, close to -> More. The Colors should be set to the highest setting.
When you close the lid, you may have your laptop set to Sleep Mode, check that. You may also have your screen saver set to Blank, and no screen saver has been chosen.
(1.Screen Saver: Right-click on empty area of desktop>Properties>Screen Saver.
2.Sleep Mode: Start>Control Panel>Performance and Maintenance>Power Options>Power Buttons>When I press the sleep button on my computer>Then choose what you want it to do)
If none of this helps, I suggest you have a problem that HP needs to repair. Since you bought this dv9700t last July, would I be correct in assuming it's still under warranty?
Don't let the computer turn the monitor off. Go into control panel and click on power option. don't let the computer turn anything off and disable hibernation if on. go to screen saver and have it come on in about 30 mins.
Does it come back if you move the mouse or hit the keyboard?
If so it could be set in a couple of places.
Right click on your desktop , go to Personalize > Screen saver and verify your settings there.
It may also be in power options , go to start > control panel > hardware and sound > power options . Select change when the computer sleeps and adjust the settings there.
xp:
1. right click on unused space on your desktop and click properties to bring the display properties, (you can also go into start>control panel and double click on display)
2.then go to the screen saver tab and click on it
3. modify the time for screen saver to come up and uncheck the box that says "on resume password protect" so you're not asked for a password everytime your screen saver is on and you're returning to work on your computer.
vista:
it's a bit different than xp but similiar in some sense..
when you right click on the desktop go to "Personalize" to bring the display properties and then go to screen saver and modify the wait time and password protected settings.
