Hello,

I am having a problem with Windows 7 RC 64 bit.

I can not leave my machine unattended without it going into hibernation. I am a skilled user and work in the IT industry. I have altered the power settings within the OS and even made sure the Bios is not enabled to suspend.

I get back to my PC and I have to do a total reboot of the system to get back into windows at which point the "resuming windows" screen appears. Holding the power button does nothing but reboot my PC.

Any ideas on why? Should I report this? Is there a fix? Machine Specs below:

Solution
The problem I'm having is when putting win7 RC 64bit build 7100 to "sleep" at night, it wakes up later. Why does this happen? How can it stay asleep? Thanks

It could be due to wake-on-lan (WOL) as I have also had this problem, even though I have all WOL settings DISABLED in my BIOS, but maybe my BIOS has a bug? I've managed to solve the problem by disabling a power option on the network interface. If you go to the properties of your network interface and then choose 'Configure' and then the 'Power Management' tab you will see an option called 'Allow this device to wake the computer'. In my case I noticed this was enabled by default in Windows 7, but disabled by default in Vista. Since having disabled it I've not had my computer...

go to device manager>network adapters>right click propreties>power management>uncheck "allow this device to wake the computer"---- this should do:cool: sorry the answer was already posted. anyway inmy start menu i dont succed to put sleep in the power botton, some advice? it just does not show even making it right in advance power...

I was having this issue. When I Hibernated my PC, it would later awaken on it's own. This is a behavior that I never experienced in Windows XP. I have found the solution, at least for me and my computer:

Right click on desktop. Click 'Personalize'. Click 'Screen Saver'. Click 'Change power settings'. On the Active plan, click 'Change plan settings'. Click 'Change advanced power settings'. Click 'Sleep'. Click on the '+' next to 'Allow wake timers' and DISABLE that setting.

Now the computer SHOULD not wake from Sleep and Hibernate directly because of Windows 7. If the issue continues then it could be many things, including: your mouse detecting or thinking it detected motion, Wake on LAN/Modem.

You can change the roll that your power/sleep buttons play from this same menu btw.

Hope this helps

Sorry for the long update, but this is the best way, it fixed my problems. Thank you "firemusic"

Check your power settings in the MB's bios. Usually you will want to change it to "S1" or the other. Just change it to the other and see it if that help.
 


sorry to disapoint you.i am not a skilled user.i dont understand much of these

What kind of motherboard do you have? Usually to get into the bios is just by pressing the "delete" button before windows starts. Once in there, go to power settings/managnement and change "S1" to "S3" or the other. Save and exit
 


well i folowed your istructions about S1 and S3 and i tried to sleep.everything worked normally.thank you.I hope it will keep up like this forever.(cause while i was making some changes some time sleep worked correctly but the next time it failed again)one more question:how can i decide when to sleep and when to hibernate?
 


sorry to bother you guys with idiot questions.I did not noticed that there are on the start menu..one last thing: I tried to hibernate my pc.when i pressed the power button to whake up i spend too muuuuuch time looking on "Resuming Windows" screen.is this normal?it is depended on what condition did you left your pc when hibernate?
Thank you
 


the last time i set my pc at sleep,i tried to wake it up after 2 hours and i faced the same problem(black screen , no responce to anything ect..)So, when i set my pc to sleep for a little time, it works normally.But when it sleeps for a long time i face that problem.i believe its the motherbolds fault
