sleep

Over the last few days (maybe a week or two?), my system has begun waking from sleep without any normal reason; e.g., no movement of the mouse, etc. It wakes up frequently like every 10-15 minutes but sometimes even after a shorter period. I've been reviewing the system event logs but have not...

Hi Guys, This is my first post! Before I begin I have done some reading up on this issue but not found a solution specific to my problem. My kids had a PlayStation 4 which packed up last month. Instead of buying them a new PlayStation (I refuse to pay playstations ridiculous prices for their...

Yesterday, I did 3 big things: I updated my dell inspiron 13 7000 series laptop, I updated my microsoft office suite, and I installed project 64 the popular nintendo emulator. Since last night, every time my laptop goes to sleep and I turn the screen back on, I'll get this weird pixel-y display...

My trouble is with sleep and hibernate modes. When either mode is entered the computer won’t wake. (When a ‘wake’ is initiated, the power light comes on, but not the monitor. I’ve seen the hard drive light barely flicker for a fraction of a second, but it doesn’t run for the length of time...

I recently installed a Crucial SSD into my friends Inspiron N4110, Boot is super fast and everything works very well with a few small exceptions... When told to Shutdown, it goes through the normal procedure with great speed closing all open programs then proceeding to the blue screen reading...

I have a wired USB keyboard and a wireless USB mouse on my computer. I have set the Power Options for sleep mode under Windows 8.1 to occur after a certain amount of time. When I have returned to my computer when it is in Sleep mode after a particularly long period of time both the keyboard and...

This guide covers some basic troubleshooting if you're trying to configure your computer to go to sleep and it just won't. Obviously the first thing you want to check is that you have correctly setup sleep. With a laptop you will want to make sure you configure both DC and AC power settings...

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 I have used the 'Sleep' mode successfully on a daily basis and it has always worked - which was not the case on my Windows 7 installation! Yesterday, I installed KB3124262 (Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1511) together with an Intel Driver update...

I generally access my PC multiple times throughout the day, so I like to Lock it or put it in Sleep mode. On occasion, the Windows Explorer (if its still called that) does not function after I awaken or unlock my PC. Neither clicking on the button nor pressing the Windows key does anything. I...
