Windows 7 Windows 7 Sleep Mode Issue

[MadMopar]

I don't know if I should post this in any other forum, so here goes.

I am having a problem with Win7 not coming back from sleep mode.

The machine goes to sleep without a poblem.

When I move my mouse it starts waking up and then just powers off. I have to hit the power button to turn it back on and it boots (fresh boot).

The machine used to go to sleep and wake up without a problem. I can't remember exactly when this started failing, but it may have been after an update. I honestly don't know/remember what changed. This has become a big irritant.

I can put it in hybrid sleep and this works fine, just take a while longer to get back online.

I am running the following:

i7 920
Asus P6T
6 Gig (triple mode)
1 TB Seagate
700 Watt PS
geForce 9800 GTX
1 Blu-Ray Sata
1 DVD Sata

Thanks

Update to above:

The system doesn't work in Hybrid mode. Just like Sleep, it works every once in awhile, but usually just powers off.

Hibernation does work.

It seems like you are facing issues with Windows 7 not waking up properly from sleep mode or hybrid sleep on your system. Let's try to troubleshoot this issue:

Steps to Troubleshoot Waking from Sleep Issue:​

1. Check Power Management Settings:
   • Go to Control Panel -> Power Options.
   • Make sure the settings are configured correctly for sleep mode and waking up from sleep. You can adjust the settings here to troubleshoot the issue.
   []Update Drivers:
   • Ensure that all your drivers, especially the graphics card, are up to date. Outdated drivers may cause issues with waking from sleep.
   []BIOS Update:
   • Check if there is a BIOS update available for your motherboard (Asus P6T). Updating the BIOS can sometimes resolve power-related issues.
   []Power Plan Settings:
   • Modify the power plan settings to default and check if the issue persists.
   []Check for Windows Updates:
   • Make sure your Windows 7 system is up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, a Windows update might fix such issues.
   []Power Troubleshooter:
   • Run the Power Troubleshooter in Windows 7 to identify and fix power-related issues.
   []Hybrid Sleep Issues:
   • Since you mentioned the problem also occurs with hybrid sleep, try disabling hybrid sleep temporarily to see if it helps.
   []Power Options in Device Manager:
   • Check the power management settings of your devices in Device Manager. Some devices might not be waking up correctly.
   []System File Check:
   • Run a System File Check (SFC) to check for and repair any corrupted system files that might be causing the issue.
2. Event Viewer:
   • Check the Event Viewer for any error messages or warnings related to the power state transitions. This might give clues about what's causing the system to shut down.

     Additional Note:​

     Since you mentioned that Hibernation works fine, you can consider using hibernation as an alternative until the issue with waking from sleep is resolved. Keep monitoring the system behavior and try the troubleshooting steps provided. If you continue to face issues, feel free to provide more details, and we can further troubleshoot the problem together.
