sleep

My laptop will no longer shut down, hibernate, or sleep. When I choose to shut down the window sits at logging off, and will not change. When I chose to hibernate/sleep it will sit at a black screen, but do nothing more. The fan still blows hard, and it will not come out of the...

I've been using windows 7 for quite some time now. I had my time with both the beta and the RC1. I have installed the retail Windows 7 Home Premium. It regularly 'drops' my internet connection, and almost always does when coming out of standy/sleep or hibernation. I'll be downloading...

Hi, Clean install yesterday of Home Premium 64 bit upgrade. Dual Booting with XP Pro. Never had Vista. None of the automatic power save features seem ti be working in Windows 7. In XP Pro I have the monitor turning off after 10 minutes - works fine. In 7, nothing - monitor never turns...

Hello, I hope you are well. I think that the Power Button in the Start Menu, where users can choose for it to Lock, Sleep, Hibernate, and Shutdown their computers, is very useful. I'd like to somehow tweak it even further, but am not sure if this is even remotely possible. Is there any way I...

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...
