Power Saving Mode

Guys,

I have a system that keeps going into power saver mode automatically after the HP logo using the graphics card.  That happened 3 months ago.  At the moment, it is still in power saver mode and I have to use the onboard graphics card and everything is ok.  Can someone give me a direction to resolve this problem? I suspect that it is a driver issue but it appears to be ok.  I am stomped.

Go to Control Panel -> Power -> and set for Always ON. ... Thinkpads_User
Onboard graphics card works, add-on card does not. Not a power issue, rather a driver/configuration issue. Try going into the Bios and disabling the onboard graphics card. Does that work when you reboot? Both cards could be using the same interrupt. If this does not work, re-enable the onboard and get the latest drivers for the add-on card and install. Go back into the Bios and disable the onboard. Does this work? If not, sounds like its time for a new video card.

What is your graphics card (add-on)?
