When I run the command: powercfg -requestsI notice there is a SERVICE named CryptSvc preventing my laptop from going to standby. I have looked up on how to disable it using OVERRIDE command to no avail.If anyone have experience on this, please advise.Here is a screenshot of the problem.URl.
I am trying to restore an hp 2000-363NR notebook but I also have only 1/4 of my monitor viewable due to damage. The restore needs to be done on the main monitor because in that mode my external monitor doesn't display anything (unless Windows is booted).
I am having a serious problem with sleep mode in WIN7. Whenever I put the PC in sleep mode, it will come back on when I hit ESC or move the mouse, but the monitor never comes back on and the PC is crashed. I can't do anything other than cut the power to get it to shut off. My bios is only the same version that came on the CD that came with the board. In the directions, it stated not to update the bios if I am not having problems, and up until I went to try to put it in sleep mode today everything has been running perfect. I have also not updated my ATI Catalyst software either, just still running the same stuff that came on the CD with the GPU.
I guess I figure why mess with success if all was well. My memory shows to be running at 1600 with the voltage at 1.65. I've done a bit of research on the topic, but there's lots of varied opinions on other forums I've seen. This symptom is very problematic and I am nervous about keeping on causing it to occur if I can't get a good handle on what to do first - when it did this I had to try rebooting twice for my machine to finally come alive again (the first reboot was unsuccessful and the monitor never responded similar to the first crash).

I have windows 7 Home Premium and I am facing some problems with Hibernate and Standby. The first Problem is that my system doesn't hibernate but instead it just perform a log off. The second problem is that when I put the system in standby, it wakes up automatically after 2 to 3 hours which makes a serious problem if my laptop is in the bag.
I accidently managed to delete all files in my c:/users directory and now my system won't go into standby or hibernate mode. It just shows a blank screen when I choose either or these but the PC never hibernates or sleeps and the only way to get it out of this state is a hard shutdown. I deleted all Files/Folders except my own user folder.
For some reason, every time I try to hibernate my PC (start -> hibernate), it locks itself instead and goes brings me straight to the login screen. This problem has only occurred recently and I haven't had problems with this before. The command line "shutdown /h" does the same thing and results in "The system cannot find the file specified. (2)".
"powercfg -a" results in: The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby < S1, S3 > Hibernate Hybrid Sleep The following sleep states are not available on this system: Standby < S2 > The system firmware does not support this standby state.
My specs are: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Intel core i7 CPU 6gb RAM Radeon 5770 graphics
I'm running dual boot with windows XP on another partition as well. My windows 7 partition is active and system but the windows XP partition is boot.
Windows 7 home premium, 64-bit HP Envy 3D laptop with 8GB memory, no custom hardware
I have configured a backup job which wakes up the laptop at midnight, takes a backup and puts laptop into standby again. All this happens with the laptop lid closed. The power scheme is configured to put laptop into standby when lid is closed.
The resume from standby, backup and suspend after backup is controlled by Windows Home Server (2003) console which is installed on the laptop. I had purchased the HP laptop in October of last year and this job used to work just fine. Sometime in March of this year, the backup stopped working.
After checking the logs and physically observing the laptop at midnight, I found that the laptop resumes from standby at the scheduled time but immediately goes into standby if the lid is closed. The backup fails. Windows event logs indicate that laptop lid close action is putting system into standby.
If the lid is open, then the laptop resumes from standby, stays awake, backup proceeds and laptop goes into standby again.
Here are my problems:
a) Why did the backup work for several months and then stopped working?
b) I have other laptops in the house running Windows 7 home premium on variety of hardware (all HP) and they do not have any issue. Even with the lid closed, they resume from standby, do a backup and go into standby again. The power scheme on all these laptops is set to put laptop into standby when lid is closed. I have verified from physically observing the laptops during backup time.
I have checked all the usual suspects like BIOS updates, driver updates, run sfc, completely deleted the Windows Home Server console from laptop and re-installed after deleting all past backups. Is there some setting that I have overlooked?
My young cousin was using the computer (Win 7 in limited user mode) when something happened with the speakers. He thought he could fix the problem by restarting the computer using the on/off button. From what he told me, the computer would not restart normally. The black screen came up where you can select Safe Mode. He selected the start normally option. The computer booted to the desktop and then restarted back to the black screen. I ended up having to use the System Restore option from Safe Mode and everything seemed fine after that. I never really got to check things out properly though.
I'm going to assume that either the system settings or the registry was messed up from the sudden restart when my cousin pressed the on/off button. Would that be correct? Was the proper way to fix this by using the System Restore option? I might have chosen the "last known good configuration" option from the black screen, but it wasn't listed and I don't know if it was listed the first time that screen came up. With all the button pushing that kid did, it's a wonder the computer still works.
I own three computers. One has a wired connection to my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G v. 6 with latest firmware), the other two use wireless adapters and are running Windows XP Professional 32-Bit. If I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on the computer with the wired connection, the other two computers cannot connect to the router (access point). Here's what's troubling.
If I leave the other two "wireless" computers turned off, and run Windows 7 on the "wired" computer, then turn off the "wired" computer, and turn on one or both of the "wireless" computers, they still cannot connect.
In order to establish a wireless connection, once again, I must reset the router , then reset the security, and finally, enter the new network key on each of the "wireless" computers. It doesn't matter whether the "wireless" computers are on or off when I either install or run Windows 7 on the "wired" computer. The problem occurs even when I turn off the "wired" computer before turning on the "wireless" computers.
At this point, I can only "assume" (either from lack of knowledge or imagination) Windows 7 actually makes changes to the router's settings. I cannot access the router's web-based utility from Windows 7 or from Windows Vista. I must access it from Windows XP (I quad boot XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Ubuntu). My problem with wireless networking only occurs with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit. I don't experience this problem with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. Also, I have no networking issues with Windows 7 running on the "wired" computer.
Perhaps there is a simple solution. However, it's disconcerting that Windows 7 can prevent other computers from connecting to my router. Windows 7 should only be concerned with connections made to the computer it is running on, and not take over the responsibility of the router. If this is the case, then I find that to be completely unacceptable. I'm not using the wired computer as a gateway for the other computers. The Linksys router is the default gateway.
Furthermore, I'm absolutely not interested in sharing music or files through Home Group, since this feature of Windows 7 is only compatible with other computers running Windows 7, and I'm not about to replace XP on the "wireless" computers with a beta version of Windows 7. I suspect Home Group might be the culprit here, or the reach of Windows Firewall is now out of bounds.
If you know or have an idea of what might be the problem, please let me know. I'll have to leave Windows 7 alone until I find a solution, as I'm not going to go through the hassle of reseting the router and network keys every time I run Windows 7. Unplugging the computer from the router is an option, but to do so would cripple the OS and the fun of using it. Besides, the beta needs access to the Internet for updates and to report problems.
My system has suddenly started giving me a 'Windows Security - These Files cannot be opened - Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.' Message when I tried to start 'The Sims 3' game. I have played this before, many times. I also got the msg when trying to install Antivir Antivirus. I couldnt install it.

Why does my HP LaserJet P2015dn not print? It says Printer Offline. I am using Windows 7 but this has happened before with other versions of Windows and I have had to have it fixed. There is another computer connected to the printer.
"Missing operating system" massage is coming when i start my system and i am not able to start. I think because , i had given "mark partition as active" option for one hard dive (E) in disk management when last time i opened. it did not have any data. i did not know, this will make any problem. Now i am not able to boot windows re installation dvd also. i can only take BIOS settings.
I had the brilliant idea to delete the manufacturer's recovery partition on my ASUS Win 7 64-bit laptop, and reclaim that space for my C drive, and now my system is unbootable. I get the error message "autochk program not found" then stop: c000021a Fatal System Error. I have run System Recovery several times to no avail. I tried to do a repair using the Win 7 DVD, but that didn't work either.

i recently got a computer from my aunt, and decided to put windows 7 on it. Before I installed it, I put in a Geforce 8800 graphics card and a (2nd) cd rom drive. After 20 failed attempts to install windows 7 (it kept freezing at the completing installation part) it worked after i disconnected the new graphics card and one of the hard drives. Now, however, i keep on getting periodic blue screens with the following error messages : Memory Management, and PFN_List Corrupt. I ran a memory diagnostic and it said that the memory is fine. What is wrong with my computer? I also ran a system repair thing from the windows 7 disk, and it came up with this error: System File Integrity Check and Repair Error Code 0X490
My Hardware is:
AMD Anthlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 2 Hitachi HDT725032VLA SCSI 320 gb hard drives Nvidia Geforce 8800 GS Graphics Card 3gb of system memory
when i click format a 150 gb partition space in disk management option i recieved the following message "An unexpected error has occurred. Check the System Event Log for more information on the error. Close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer". and the drive does not appear like other drives in MY Computer?
I recently re-installed windows and am now trying to install the DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010). All goes well, it installs everything, but as it finished I get this error: I have tried redownloading, using other installers and updating my graphics drivers. Nothing will work. It's probably worth mentioning that the first time I tried installing, about a week ago, my computer totally froze in the middle of the install and I had to force restart.
I am having difficulty with drivers on my Acer Aspire 5253 system using Win 7. It is a couple months old. Within the last month, I have been getting random blue screen of death error messages in which the computer shuts down to prevent damage. The computer boots up fine without any problems. The blue screen that I see contains the same information each time.
i've noticed that when i have utorrent working, because of the constant upload etc. , the pc doesn't go to standby. What i mean by standby is that the pc doesnt do anything, the light in the front is filickering slowly, and the internet connection is off. When i move the mouse, the pc springs to life , followed by the internet connection , and in a few seconds i'm connected to the internet. Needless to say, i believe u understand the flaw with this - skype gets disconnected even though i want it to remain on, and i'm guessing the same would happen with facebook. As much as power saving is indeed, important i want my computer to not go into this mode , at least not while there is a program that requires internet or even chat websites.
my pc does not wake-up from standby. I tried different power management settings, but no result. I always have to reboot.my system (built Oct 2010):Corsair HX 850WGigabyte X58A-UD3R rev. 2 [BIOS FH, suspension set to S3]Intel i7 950Corsair XMS3 12Go (3x4Go) PC16000Sapphire HD5870-1024 VaporXAsus Xonar essence STOCZ Vertex 2E 120Go2 x WD caviar Black 1ToWindows 7 ultimate x64 SP1all drivers updated (except firmware for OCZ SDD, I could not do it because it's the Win 7 main drive)hibernate is disabled.
I know this thread is a year out of date but my computer experiences the same problem. I will leave it on and after [x] number of minutes it will go into 'standby', but then the BIOS Overheat alarm will sound repeatedly. To clear the problem I have to shut the computer down.
I have recently installed more memory and an additional fan, thinking that this would solve the problem.I've also disabled some startup programs and cancel tasks etc, to try and stop it from over-working but this doesn't seem to solve the problem.Computer never used to be like it until about 3 months ago. It has always done it but it was never a regular/daily occurance.
I am using Windows 7 Professional.I am playing the songs and about minutes later it becomes standby automatically so it's the interruption of my watching, especially when there is no touching. What must I do to keep it active though I am not touching any keys or mouse?
My computer occasionally wakes up from Standby. I have a USB-based KVM switcher providing mouse and keyboard. When I want to put it in Standby, I first switch the switcher to my other computer, then I go into Standby by pressing the power button. When I want to use the computer again, I first switch the switcher back to the computer, then press the power button. Waking up from Standby spontaneously is not a major problem, as it is set to go back to Standby after several minutes. But I'm curious as to what might be happening.
My laptop monitor is broken, so i use an external monitor via VGA cable.
IF i TAP my laptop, (the slightest tap, even if i flick it with my finger), it will go in to standby mode, and I haveto press the power button to get it out.
Previously, the computer would go to a 800x600 resolution when i touched it, but I just reformatted, and now it goes to standby mode.
I have NO idea what would cause this. Do you guys have any ideas?
EDIT: I disabled sleep and hibernate and now it goes back to 800x600 when i touch the laptop.
When I leave the laptop on standby, and come back to it after 10 minutes, the fans are blowing loudly. I have a CPU gadget which monitors CPU usage, and I see that right when I resume from standby (move the mouse), CPU usage drops to normal.
At first I thought Security Essentials is doing some scanning or windows is indexing some files, but this happens every time the computer is idle for longer than 10 minutes. I have a suspicion that my laptop could be part of a bot network.
When I bring my Windows 7 Home Premium desktop out of sleep or hibernation, all the normal system sounds play in a distorted manner. If I reboot, then the sounds play normally. I have an on board 5.1 HD 6 channel audio codec and have removed the driver, then got Win 7 to find the latest driver (Microsoft) but that makes no difference.On my purchase order details I find:Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio Adi 1986. If I try to play anything in my media folder all I get is a distorted hiss, I can't detect any 'music' at all.I don't have a spare PCI slot to fit a sound card so I would like to find the reason for this on board audio problem but not sure what to do next!
My computer is several years old, and just a few weeks ago started having a problem waking from standby. Up until now, it had no issues going into and coming out of sleep.Now, whenever it goes to sleep (whether due to inactivity or putting it to sleep manually), it won't wake up. The lights come on, the fans come on, but the monitor stays in standby. I've looked around online and found that many people get a black screen when booting up, i.e. the monitor comes alive and they may get a mouse cursor, but that's not what's happening to me. I don't get a black screen--my screen is never getting a signal from the computer. I have to do a hard reset, after which I get the 'Start Windows Normally' screen.I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics drivers, changing hybrid sleep settings, using hibernate instead of standby, uninstalling random programs, etc, to no effect. I don't think I had any major windows or driver updates that caused it.
the problem im having is when i leave my computer on for an hour or 2 hours it crashes gos back to the password page saying password locked ? i put my password in but it dosn"t reconize it so i have turn off pc from the power button ? did this on my old win 7 now im on win 7 7264 still got the same problem any ideas ?
