Non-professional computer user, limited experience but saddled with a DELL that misbehaves:
DELL Inspiron 530 about 2008, running Vista Home Premium, a regular nightmare that seems illogical. Monitor screen goes blank at any old time. Black screen appears and then displays ‘1: Auto detect….. entering power save’, then turns off, PC is still running. I have to re-boot to re-gain normal working.
Can’t get any sense out of DELL, is this a known problem with the Inspiron?
This fault has only recently shown itself, and is happening once or twice a day.
The PC and the monitor can be ‘on’ for several hours during the day, and the problem happens at least once a day, sometimes twice, when it happens a second time it is often just 15 or 20 minutes after re-booting.
