I have a little problem with my laptop (lenovo ideapad 700). This locks itself approximately every 20-30 minutes for no reason and goes into a black screen. When I start it again everything is as before and nothing has changed, but after a while it locks again.
What could be the reason for this?
Isn't that just the energy-saving mode?
Power saving mode!
is always set very high by default on laptops.
you can change> settings
Well, but he always blocks himself… Even when I'm playing, sitting in lectures, etc.
Hmm yes, but I have had the laptop for 4 years and the phenomenon has only emerged for a few weeks, and it also locks when I'm gaming and sitting in a lecture, etc.
During use?
still have a look in the settings
I have never set anywhere… So it should never actually lock itself. And yes during use
Right then he shouldn't lock himself.
if it occurs during use then there's another problem.
is he overheating?
That could be… But it locks itself completely silently and then runs completely normally again after 30 seconds of starting up again.
In the event of overheating, this does not necessarily have to be announced.
and that it then runs again after 30 seconds because it is then presumably below the critical limit.
try to clean the fan openings etc (remove dust)
In that case, I would create a full backup on an external medium.
And then try another operating system. E.g. Ubuntu as a live session.
I wish you success.
PS Through my wife and 2 colleagues I had to do with Lenovo several times. These devices are too thin and flexible for me…
I could revive a device because I could use a full backup of my wife.
Procedure Booting with an external medium, cleaning up the data carrier, creating using the full backup and thus restoring the factory settings.
