power saving mode after a few minutes on gaming

My friend had a similar problem on his older desktop. if its similar it is a problem with your graphics card overheating or dying. two steps to take would be to open the computer and clean the graphics card cooler thoroughly. And second of all get a friends graphics card and try his in your computer. this will rule out completely any problems with your graphics card. Which i think it is.

Btw. its not your pc outputting "power saving mode". but instead its the monitor saying power saving mode since your graphics card is crashing and the screen is not recieving a signal and going to standby.

 

Monitors go into auto power save mode and wont wake up

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have no idea why the computer monitors go into power saving mode. The computer doesn't. I can be browsing the internet (or even playing CandyCrush haha) more or less right after booting up and the monitors go to sleep. I
can not wake them up. I have to turn the PC off and back on again. Not so good if I am doing some work.

Making any changes as you suggest above don't seem to do anything, there is only the mouse, keyboard and "NVIDIA nForce networking controller" listed.

 

Monitors go into auto power save mode and wont wake up

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Please try the below methods and check.

It could be a compatibility issue with the new Fast Startup component.

Try the below steps and check:

• Open Control Panel / Power Options.
  
• On the Left side menu, select Choose what the power buttons do.
  
• Select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
  
• Scroll down to the Shutdown settings section.
• Remove the check mark from the Turn on Fast Startup option.
  
• Select the Save Changes Button.

Shut Down the computer, wait a couple of minutes and then use the
Power Button to start the computer.

Method 3:

I would suggest you to restore default settings of power plan and check if it helps.

• Open Control Panel.
• Click on the Power Options icon.
• Click on Change advanced power settings.
• Select the option “Restore default settings for this plan”.
