Non TNM Problem
Drunken Fool | Posted on 10/28/09 at 22:32:40 I'm sure this is not the right place to talk about this but, ever since I got my computer last year, I've had this problem, especially while I am watching a DVD. I will be sitting down enjoying a movie, when all of a sudden my screen goes blank. I try to bring the screen back with the mouse, but then a message comes up bouncing across my monitor "Input Not Supported" Can anyone tell my why this could be happening, and would it be more of a hardware problem than a software problem? (PS: I know it was not a screensaver kicking in because I always disable a screensaver before I watch a DVD) |
Wake | Posted on 10/29/09 at 04:43:02 Without knowing the system you have set up I doubt that the screen saver is the problem. There is a possibility that hardware could be the issue, but most likely it will be a software/settings issue. There could be a graphic card incompatability, but from what I know I think it is just a screen resolution problem. Try this - -On the bottom right toolbar, click on the icon of Intel(R) Graphic accelerator -Click on Graphics Options -Click on Panel Fit -Click on Full Screen (no border) Then after on your Desktop -Click right click to bring up menu -Click Graphic Properties -Click on Monitor -Click on Display Settings -Try following set ups : 32 bit / 1280 X 1024 / 60 Hertz If that doesnt work heres a link with more things to try http://www.fixya.com/support/t181095-input_not_supported I hope something works for you, keep us looped. |

Some screens can also detect if your don't do anything new (keyboard/mouse) for a while and go into energy saving mode too. |
