I know this is a well worn topic, but I can't seem to find the answer. My ASUS P8Z68-Vpro Windows 7(64) system will go to sleep manually (from the shutdown menu). I have power management set to turn off the monitor and go to sleep after one minute. After a minute the monitor turns off, but...

Good Afternoon, All-Knowing Win-7 Gurus; It seems as I have read a bazillion (give or take) threads regarding the Black Screen of Doom. To this point, none of the solutions has helped my (innumerable) issues. I am experiencing this screen and all of it's glory. It occurs as my beloved...

Hey Guys.... for the past couple days i've been experiencing some strange issues with my new laptop. to be clear, it's actually a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15.4" that i bought to use exclusively as a PC laptop. long story short, i got fed up with low quality built PC laptops and wanted something...

I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and have been having multiple Sleep-related issues. When I leave the computer alone and it goes into Sleep mode, it crashes. When I manually put the computer into sleep mode, it powers off and then when it starts again says that Windows wasn't shut down properly or...

I will first say I read the similar threads and none of them applied. Secondly, this is a home build that is nearly a year old with no issues to this point so it's not connected to so-and-so who released a driver update that I know of. I want to say 2 days ago, my computer has decided to fail...

Not getting enough sleep these days? You may have to blame your computer or your cell phone. The National Sleep Foundation on Monday released the results of a poll showing that many people aren't getting a good night's sleep. The survey found that 43% of Americans say they rarely or never get...

Hey guys, Recently, I have not been able to get my computer to sleep. I used to press a button on the keyboard and it would go to sleep, this worked until a couple of days ago. When I press the button now, the monitors go black and then take me to the login screen. I have already done a...

I just put together a new PC and it's very slow to resume from sleep. I set the BIOS to use S3 sleep. I put the computer into sleep manually and all of the fans/lights go off in a 5 seconds or so. When I resume from sleep it takes about 20 seconds before Windows comes back on. By...

I have the computer set up to put the monitor and the hard drives to sleep after 45 minutes. Apparently, I am using a thymes background where the thymes are auto changing every 30 minutes. My question is, will the thymes prevent the hard drives from sleeping? If the computer is not...

I am using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. My laptop, when going into SLEEP, 1 out of say 7 times shuts down instead. Windows says it crashed and gives me some error logs. I am attaching the DMP file of the last one. I remember going to PERFORMANCE INFO & TOOLS > ADVANCED and it saying that a video...

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...

Before i describe my problem id like to say ive spent some time searching past threads and can only come up with variations of sleep problems occuring. My current settings have sleep turned off, monitor on always. So i doubt these apply to me. I have a new computer that was built for me by a...
