Solved Lenovo ideacentre B320 on Windows 7 keeps going into sleep!!!

[ahiranta]

found BIOS

Thank you. I followed your instructions and found what you said.

ACPI standby mode.........[S3(STR)]

But it is Black. I can not reach it with the use of the arrow keys.
Any idea?

Again, thank you so far for your replies.

OK, glad you found it at least Bianca, it may be you have to press Enter to access some of those settings, sorrydidn't mention that before.
A picture of you main and each setting BIOS page would be very helpful here. IF you have a cell phone cam or can borrow one would be fine, but get the entire screen please.

BIOS screen photo's

Thanks for sticking with me, I am grateful.

I made the photo's you asked for. Hope it will help.

I tried uploading the photo's but got the message:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing."

I will try to post it somewhere else and give you a link if that is ok with you?

 

[Britton30]

Sure, many people use Image shack or Photo Bucket.

Which power plan setting are you using?
Have you noticed that each power plan has its own settings?








If I have done my sums right you could turn everything off 6 times it sometimes can be confusing

photo's posted

Hi Pooch,

Yes I have been there many time and changed all sorts but with no results. I put it on Never go to sleep, do Never turn screen of etc but so far still my screen goes black as if I am inactive while I am editing or watching slide shows or video's etc.

Thank you for trying to think with/for me to solve this.

Also....I have not seen any option as a choice in battery or main powered. Probably because this is a desk top Tablet Computer, if there is a name like that....lol

Maybe I really don't know, in that case I would just make my own name up
My bad I looked quickly through the posts and automatically assumed laptop

 

[ahiranta]

thank anyway

please feel free to suggest anything I could try to solve this constant going onto a black screen. All suggestions welcome.

LOL, that is called an All-in-One computer.
You might try this Lenovo Ideapad Support & downloads - Lenovo - Drivers & Downloads and use option 3. Hopefully the Lenovo tool can help here.

A little tid bit that might help. Go to msconfig/Start Up and see if their is a program running in start up causing this problem.

Thank you.
I followed your link and did what they asked me to do, but nothing happens. So that shows to be a dead end as far as I can see.

Any other ideas?

still going onto black

Thank you. I had a look and I disabled Lenovo Screensaver with high hopes that that was it, but sadly no it is still going onto black screen while I am watching slideshow or video or even read something online. There were many programs that come up under start up but I have no idea what most of them are doing so I did not dare to disable any of them in case I case something else not to work properly

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Sorry I'm out of ideas and thinking maybe you have some bad hardware? The msconfig idea is a good one LB mentioned.
Is you PC still under warranty?

Yes got it for my birthday which was 4 weeks ago.

 

[Britton30]

Good, before you (we) go crazy trying to fix it, see if you can return it ro have the seller fix it for you. Once the warranty is up, the problem will be your.

OK, you can use the snipping tool to capture these screens, I suggested a cam for your BIOS because you can't snip them.
Try disabling all startup items EXCEPT McAfee, reboot, and see if that helps. If so, re-enable things one at a time until the issues reappears, then you've isolated the problem...maybe.
You don;t really need QuickTime, Facebook, iTunes, Google Toolbar, and such to be in start-up, you can always start them when you need them. With so many thing starting it really has a negative impact on your system's performance. I suppose much of that came from Lenovo as bloatware, they are good at that.

I have 3 check marks in Start Up. I would bet a dollar against a dough nut hole that one of those things in Start Up is causing your problem. MSE, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Everything else starts when I click on them.
