sleep issues

Really fun things happen if your laptop falls off the bed while you're asleep. In Windows, I can no longer log off/reboot/shut down normally (Linux, however, is fine). Also, if I put my laptop to sleep in Windows, it will inexplicably refuse to wake up (again, Linux can wake up just fine...

Hi, I just bought a Gateway computer yesterday with Windows 7 preinstalled on it, and last night I tried to wake it from sleep but when I did, it didn't show the taskbar, icons or start button. All I could see was the background. I tried the "ctrl+shift+esc" method to fix it, but when I hit...

Hi guys, firstly, sorry if there are millions of threads on this already. I know 7 can be a pain for random sleep issues. I had a quick search and didn't find anything quite like what I'm experiencing though. Sometimes, when my PC wakes up from sleep, the keyboard and mouse don't work. It...

I have a Microsoft brand USB mouse connected by wire to a desktop computer. When I allow the computer to go to sleep, I cannot wake it up via the mouse. A tap on the keyboard will wake the computer up, but all I get out of the mouse is a slight twitch before it freezes. Once I am back onto...

My new PC with Windows 7 is great, except for one annoying issue. When my machine sleeps, sometimes it awakens with a distorted and enlarged view. I work from home, largely with picture files, so distortion make the job difficult. The display and resolution settings haven't changed, but what I...

I've unchecked "Allow this device to wake the computer" for the Ethernet device. My bluetooth mouse and keyboard have both been checked to "Allow this device to wake the computer" which is right, yes? I do want to be able to wake my computer via mouse or keyboard. I'm running Avira Antivir...
