sleep

Hi all, I've been using Windows 7 since August courtesy of MSDNAA and for the most part I like but I find myself effectively unable to use sleep or hibernation because when I come from either there's a piercing tone coming from my speakers that occurs whenever I have an application that has...

Hey there guys, I just did a FRESH install of vista ultimate 32-bit and everytime I try to put it to sleep, hibernate, shutdown, or restart, it simply doesn't. If I leave it for a while, with a blank screen, it blue screens and gives me the error of "Driver Power State Failure". If someone...

Hi there, I upgraded my main machine from XP x64 to Windows 7 Professional x64 (yes, Professional, not Ultimate, it's not the RC - it's a final version I got via my university). And well.. stand-by and hibernation.. just make my head explode.. all hardware installed properly (with the...

Hello everyone. For some reason when I but Windows to Sleep, a couple minutes later it turns itself on again. In the power options I don't have any "auto-wakeup" sort of feature enabled, so I have no idea what it could be. This never happened to me on Vista before, and I checked the Bios and...

Hello! Recently I've started to get BSODs when I try to put my PC into sleep. The error is DRIVER_IRQL_NO_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Nothing about a specific file or driver that causes the fault. The weird thing is that I haven't installed any new hardware recently... My minidump files are attached. Can...

When I close the lid on my laptop and reopen it, I can see all the wireless networks, and have full bars but it says "limited acces" and i cannot connect to the internet. I can plug in a cable, or restart the computer and it works perfectly. It worked fine on the beta but now I'm running the...

SOLVED: Can't sleep, restart, shutdown; Explorer won't refresh (Solution on last post, but the short version is that I had to use the Device Manager to "Uninstall the hardware" for my built-in SD card reader, so that Windows just forgets that the hardware exists. I can't use it anymore, but...

anyone know where the setting is to have it *not* wake the PC?

Hello, I've found that when whenever I let my computer go to sleep, hibernate or restart it or shut it down then a blue screen will appear and restart the system. When the system comes to it will tell me the event name was Blue Screen and that the computer is recovering from a unexpected...

ps2 keyboard sporadically stops working Hi, recently I've encountered a weird problem: from some unknown reason my keyboard sporadically stops working, as if was disconnected, although the Num Lock led shines. Unplug and replug don't help, only reboot. Driver reinstall didn't help. Replacing...

When I "sleep" my machine in S-3 mode; upon waking, WDM quits and reverts to Basic mode, losing my prefered window color setting. Only a full re-start wil fix it! When I set the BIOS to use S-1 suspend type, sleep/wake-up does not cause the problem - my window color setting is retained - however...

Hello all! I have W7 7100 RC on my rig. It seems to have trouble going to sleep or hibernating. When I click on the 'sleep' button, it acts like its going to sleep, it does turn off completely, but then after about 5-10 seconds it comes right back on to the "log on" screen. When I click on...

Hi guys, I was hoping not to have to join this forum but here I am unfortunately, meant in the nicest possible way. I have been running build 7000 for a couple months which was running perfect no problems at all except for that my system simply wouldn't hibernate. However, build 7100 came out...

Hey all! So I seem to be having a rather weird problem. My computer's screensaver will engage, the monitor will auto-sleep, but when the computer goes to sleep it immediatly wakes up. It goes to sleep for about 3 seconds, then wakes up. I have upgraded all of my device drivers (esp. Input...

After install of Win7 to an old Gateway 700LTD, it won't shut down and just restarts when clicking Shut Down, Sleep, Hibernate or using the Power Button to shut down. I have to do a hard shutdown at the point where it restarts. This is an older machine which could not boot from disk, so I...

Hi first of all well done for a great community! I'm very new to Windows 7 and this forum has been very instructive. I have recently installed Windows 7 build 7077on a Dell Studio 1730, and I found it fantastic. All the pretty frills of VIsta with so much more functionality! My only problem is...

There are a couple of issues. When I put my computer to sleep, it auto wakes up in about 15 seconds. As far as I can tell I have no timed wake up set. Also it started going to sleep when my printer starts. The printer (laser) creates a brownout on startup but the computer is connected thru an...

If having problem with No Internet/Limited Connection on either Hibernate or Sleep. Then Only way you can solve this problem after that, it will work on either Hibernate or Sleep is to uninstall and reinstall the driver. Go to Device Manager and click "Network Adapter" and click Properties on...
