"Entering Power Save Mode"
Hi guys. I have an HP desktop and a Dell SR2320L Monitor. It was working fine until a few months back. I was out of town, came back last week and now every time I start my PC it just stays there "Entering Power Save Mode". I tried almost everything researching a solution for the problem but just won't work. Is there a way to check if the cable is the problem or the monitor or anything else? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Ankur,
Monitor may enter in power saving mode when it does not get the enough power for its operations. If monitor is the cause, you may try to re-seat the monitor cable and ensure the connections are secure. You may also try to swap the ends of cable and check if the issue persists. Another step you may try is to use a good known cable and see if the issue persists. If it does, as a last resort you may try to reset monitor to factory defaults. For more information on this, you may refer to manual of monitor: http://bit.ly/10ErgRX
Another possible cause of the same issue might be video drivers of your computer. You might need to uninstall and re-install the video drivers and may check the power options in operating system. You might need to check the HP website for download and installation of video drivers (relevant to the system model).
Please share the findings.

Hi, Hope someone is still watching this.
I am having the exact same problem with my setup(and using a friend's computer to post this). The problem with fixing the drivers is ...well how do you do that when the cpu won't display anything on the monitor?
I've done some checking and it isn't the monitor. I switched out monitors and nothing works on the cpu. So, it has to be the cpu. But how do I fix this? aggggghhhhhhhhh [:'(]

It sounds like there is a serious problem with your Dell. I suggest starting a new thread for assistance, noting your Dell's model number.
