SP1 Hangs And Will Not Wake Up From Sleep
Jun 29, 2008
I have a ACER Aspire desktop. I bought it in Jan and sometime in April, it began hanging coming out of sleep. I read that MS had released a hotfix to solve this issue. Since SP1 is supposed to contain all the hotfixes, I did a full system restore updated all drivers and MS updates using windows update then windows update showed me the SP1 update and I updated my vista home premium to SP1.
The system still hangs while coming out of sleep. Sometimes it hangs after 30 minutes and sometimes 12 hours, it is very intermittent. Acer says it is a MS issue and MS has not been able to pinpoint what is causing the issue. They have me disable various things and sleep and wake up the PC after 3 mins. How does that help? It has hung even when only Kaspersky Int Sec and Vista sidebar were the only two startup items running.

Can someone tell me how to Wake my computer from Sleep Mode? When my computer goes into Sleep Mode, I can't wake it by hitting a key on the keyboard or by moving my mouse (like in XP). I have to push the power button on the computer. I've done some searches for the problem here and on Google but still can't find a good answer.

So, I have the X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card, and I've never had any problems with my sound. Nothing has ever acted up or anything. I've recently tore my system down, and put it back together. and now for some reason my sound is acting up. It still works, but not all the time. Also my Internet is acting up the same way also. so, everything was all good. and after rebuild Now when I put the system to sleep, when I wake it up I get a Windows message saying something about Windows something didn't respond. and my volume symbol in system tray is X'd Out. I have no sound. but if I wait about 20-30 seconds it just turns on all of a sudden, like the X-Fi is waking up slower than the computer is. But this has never happened in the past. So it works, but it's delayed. Same thing with my Internet, it's never had a problem. but now when I wake system up from sleep mode, the net doesn't work. and I hoped it would turn on like the sound does, but it doesn't. So I have to either Restart PC, or I can unplug, and replug in the Ethernet cable. then it works fine. I'm not sure why both of these items are acting up, but they have never done this is the past. Does anyone know why either of these things would be happening?

If you put your Vista PC (I'm on a laptop) to sleep, then wake it, and (right after it wakes) try to visit a Web site -- does it take a little while before that works for you? With XP / Win200 I can immediately get online after it wakes, but with Vista I have to wait -- so I'm curious to know if others have the same problem, or if there's something funky about my setup. So, if you have a sec -- it would be great if you might put yours to sleep, wake it, and then try to visit a site -- does that work right away for you, or do you have to wait too?

I pressed the circle button with the vertical lline in Vista (from pressing Start) This sent the computer to sleep or hibanate I dont know which. I cannot get the computer to come back on. The monitor remains black (no picture) and says no signal. I have deprived the computer of power. This was achieved by unplugging it from the wall, and removing the power cable also from the computer.
I have tried restarting the computer but to no avail. I have also removed the keyboard and mouse when I try starting up. I have also tried, holding in the power button and then restarting. No matter what I try still no joy. No signal on the monitor. The lights in all cases come on, on the base unit and I can hear fans spinning etc. I have read about this issue in round about ways but all of the fixes seem to rely on actually being in windows.

I have recently starting to have an annoying problem with the sleep mode.
Almost every time I use it, it shut down and then 3-5 seconds later, it "wakes up".
Anyone got any idea what could be going on?

I'm using a home premium on a lenovo 3000 k series 100 with a intel 2 Quad CPU. And recently, when I set it to sleep, or it goes in sleep it self, it will wake up like 30 seconds right after the sleep, even at the night! I'm so frustrated with it.

when I have Vista go into "Sleep" I am un-able to wake it back up. I have tried everything from moving the mouse to hitting just about every button. In the end I simply have to restart the computer. Right now I use my laptop a lot and sleep comes in handy for me. I have a 1.7 CPU, 2 GB RAM on the 32-Bit OS.
My second problem deals with the row of HP QuickPlay buttons that came stock with my dv2000 series HP Laptop. The buttons themselves work but I no longer get any kind of notification of the action. For instance when I hit the mute button it no longer turns red. I have tried updating the driver and that did not work. Any thoughts? One last thing. In my opinion the Vista "sound", "battery" and "Wireless Network" buttons on the task bar look like shit. Does any one know how to replace them?

I have upgraded my box, MB CPU and memory (have done this many times without a hitch), have been running Vista 64 bit very well. What is happening at first I thought was it was awakning from sleep on it's own, BUT what is happening is every 5 to 10 minutes, the processor comes on and does disk activity for around 2 minutes then goes back to sleep. During this the monitor is dark, and by doing my regular wake up routine, hit space bar or move the mouse, these movements do nothing and will not wake up the computer. Then, when it's finished whatever it's doing, and goes back to sleep, I can wake it normally. I've run all kinds of scans for virus and malware (OneCare Live and also PREVX Edge with both have been vey efficient in catching the baddies). I can't find any task that says it lets this happen, and don't know of anyway to log something to tell me what is happening.

Ever since getting the Hibernation feature functioning on my machine about a month ago I've noticed a very peculiar problem with the machine waking up on its own, usually when I'm not around, and I need to know how to stop it. It usually happens after the PC has been powered down for several hours. Today I had put it into Hibernation and then went out, and several hours later when I got home the thing was on, apparently having turned on by itself.

Running Vista 32 Bit Home Prem on Desktop and Laptop. My Home Network has Wireless Router...Desktop is hard wired to Router, Laptop is wireless. Recently configured Network to let me share Printer connected to Desktop via USB connection. The Desktop is set to sleep after 60 mins. What I didn't realize is when Desktop goes to Sleep the Network doesn't see it, and, trying to print from the Laptop to the shared printer will not work. Is there away given the configuration of my Home Network that I can Wake the Desktop from my Laptop when I want to Print from the Laptop when the Desktop has gone to Sleep? I realize I could just not let the Desktop to go into Sleep....but that defeats the Power saving feature which is important to me.

Anyone want a used copy of Windows Vista Ultimate? I am about ready to put this one up on eBay since Microsoft has decided not to support it as well as XP. I leave the system on overnight doing defrag. In the morning I find the screen blank and the system is unresponsive to any mouse or keyboard activity including the three finger salute. The screen saver and power saver features are turned off.

I have several notebooks with Windows Vista Business 32 installed. After wakeup from sleeping mode, is necessary to reset network adapter to get to the internet. Otherwise only local network is reachable. I disabled power off of network adapter during sleep mode, Disabled IP6. I tried to install KB933872 but installation end because KB is not for my operating system.

I have tried several different settings and cannot get my monitor to wake up after sleeping for several hours. I have tried hybrid on and off. I have changed various settings in BIOS. I have made sure USB never turns off. I have changed the settings related to PCIe in sleep mode... Nothing works. I have a ABIT IP35Pro Board with an Sapphire 3850 Video card.

I would like to put my wireless mouse in inactive mode during sleep mode. As it is an mouse movement, usually accidental, wakes up the computer. I looked for a way but couldn't find this facility.

Recently, while taking my Vista x64 Ultimate computer out of sleep mode, a power outage occurred. When I turned my computer back on, no 32 bit applications run - not even the operating system's own services such as Windows Installer will run if they are 32-bit.
I tried typing 'firefox' in the Task Manager to see what happened. The process appeared for a moment, then was instantly killed. I don't know why. The Windows event log has been unhelpful in diagnosing the problem.
I also looked at Task manager at startup, and saw that all the * 32 processes were dying moments after Vista boots and show the desktop.
I have tried system restore, nothing worked. I tried to auto-repair my system in the windows recovery console, that didn't work either. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem short of simply reinstalling the OS, which I am reticent to do? If so, what should I do?

I just purchased a Toshiba A205-7464 laptop before Christmas and have been having a problem lately with the wireless internet hanging on me.
I will be online for a certain period of time, sometimes hours, sometimes 10 minutes. I will try to go to a website, not always the same one, and IE will just hang, no graphics will come up, the green bar just stops halfway through and it just hangs. I get no error page or anything but in order to get it working again, I have to reboot. It is really starting to tick me off because it is starting to happen more frequently. I have uninstalled McAfee and installed my own Security Software (CA Suite).
Here are some stats on my PC:...

I have built up a new system...been running perfectly since August 2008.
2 nights ago I had just finished an update to itunes and some other apple software which required a restart. Upon restart, the system hung while booting.didn't get to the user account log-in screen.it froze with a blackscreen with the mouse cursor sitting there in the middle.
I have done the following things and observed the following behaviour:I have not added any hardware to the system Windows Update has doing automatic updates the systems boots and runs perfectly in safe mode with networking I have reverted to a couple of different restore points prior to installing the apple software...no change I have disabled all non-Microsoft software from starting up via Windows Defender...no change I can get the system to boot to where it displays the user accounts login screen. When I click on an account and enter the password it will hang at that point. Mouse continues to respond but no further response. Disk drive light goes solid but no sound of the disk operating If at the user account log in screen I select to shut the system down it will hang during shutdown checking the event logs shows a range of various fatal errors.I can provide more info on this at later posts if needed but the messages look quite similar to other posts given for a range of different behaviours so I am not sure which if any are relevant. Booting to the Vista CD and doing a repair found no errors. In short, my perfectly happy and functioning system has suddenly gone mental for no obvious reason.

I have a recurring problem in that my computer randomly will freeze and become non responsive(though I can move the mouse during these freezes). When clicking on a link or trying to view an e-mail I get the message "Not Responsive" as I watch the Windows "circle" rotate in the middle of the screen. Usually within 15 seconds to a minute the computer again returns to usable state. It used to happen only in Windows Mail. But about two weeks ago it started happening when using other programs, IE, Firefox, etc.
My system specs are as follows:
Dell Dimension E521
Vista Home Premium 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2GHz
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2DIMMs
256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Optiquest 19" widescreen lcd 1280 x 768
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
Tower
Dell USB Keyboard and Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse
DSL 3.0 Mbps down 384 Kbps up
To this point I worked with Dell support to try to solve the problem. After doing a disk cleanup, removing temp files, etc. that didn't fix it, they had me perform a restore to Factory Settings. However even after doing that and reinstalling my programs and data files, the problem persists. I have tried opening Windows in safe mode and the problem doesn't occur then. BTW, there are no error messages when this occurs.

MB Asus P5VD2-VM
CPU Core 2 Duo 6700
GPU BFG Nvidia 8600GTS
HD Seagate 500GB Sata
RAM 4 GB DDR2 (System only uses 3GB due to chipset lacking memory remap)

The only other thing I can think of is the hard drive when I run seagates tools it cant complete the long tests but it does the short test - can anyone thing of any other diagnostics I can try.

Im running vista 64bit home premium on my acer desktop. Its been absolutly fine until today. I uninstalled a game and suddenly...well.. every time I close any application the system hangs up/stalls..the cursor goes into 'wait' mode and I can't do anything, the windows key does nothing, etc. Task manager does come up after cntrl/alt/dlt, but it wont do anything - the cursor won't even close it. If Im in a game and tab out, the same thing happens. Sometimes it happens once Ive booted. The desktop pic may be there but the desktop icons wont be...If I go to the menu screen and hit log off then suddenly things happen as they should, but the machine, naturally, logs off. Ive run a virus scan using avast, but it found nothing.
