What does power saving mode mean?
Power saving mode is one of the monitor modes into which it switches under several conditions. Most of the inscriptions that appear on the computer screen are in English, so translating any inscription will help you understand what it means, and possibly the reason for its appearance.
This inscription translates as “energy saving mode”. It is also called standby mode. It exists to reduce the computer's power consumption when idle.
Important! Do not confuse energy saving mode with sleep mode.
It is worth distinguishing between these two modes. The former requires hardware support, while the latter does not. That is, in energy saving mode, the cooler continues to work, and the computer works. The second can be enabled on the control panel, and the first appears independently in case of any malfunction. What to do and how to fix it?
Why does it happen?
If the message appears when you turn on the computer, but the processor continues to work, then there is a malfunction.
IMPORTANT! The main cause of the problem is the lack of signal from the video card.
Let's highlight a few more possible reasons:
- poor motherboard contact;
- dead battery on the motherboard;
- video card failure;
- contacts on the video card are coming off;
- motherboard failure.
To figure out what the reason is, you need to check each of the reasons presented, starting with the simplest.
What to do and how to turn it off?
Typically, this mode appears due to problems with the video card. It, in turn, is often built into the motherboard. Therefore, first you need to check the contacts of the motherboard.
- Remove the motherboard from the case.
- Check by eye the serviceability of all contacts.
- Wipe it free of dust.
- Insert until you hear a click.
If there are no problems with the contacts, as with the element itself, and the board just comes off. These manipulations should help.
REFERENCE! If this does not help, remove the battery from the motherboard and insert it back.
If after all the steps there are no changes, the computer must be taken in for repair. The video card or the entire motherboard is probably damaged.
