Laptop Frozen. Can't Get It To Stop Resuming So Can Tinker With It
Jun 19, 2012
Daugher's laptop from after she downloaded something. I know something about computers so figured I'd run some virus scans, clean it up a bit etc. But I can't get it to stop resuming. I've even taken the battery out. I need it to reboot. I need it to not load up in the same frozen state. I used xp on my computer so not knowledgeable about windows 7. I cannot afford to bring to a tech and have never needed to all my years online.

I have got an HTPC/Server that has a lot of hard drives in it. The OS is run off a SSD and of all the hard drives, the one that really gets used is 1.5TB WD drive for recording of the television.
I have set Windows up so it turns off hard disks off after 20 minutes if they are not being used which is fine, but my problem is that my computer automatically goes into Sleep Mode (S3 hybrid sleep) when it is not recording anything and when it wakes up all the hard drives spin back up.
Is there any way to keep hard drives spun down even when resuming from sleep?

About 75% of the time, when I lift the lid to resume my laptop from sleep, the laptop will not resume immediately. The screen will remain black, the wifi light stays disabled, and while I can hear the fan, nothing else really happens.Usually after anywhere from 3 to 20 seconds, though, the laptop will eventually wake up, and I believe it tends to be when the hard drive actually starts spinning -- the hard drive light will blink and I'll hear the faint 'click' of the hard diskThe resume used to be more or less instant. I've reformatted since I first noticed this problem, yet I still have it, which makes me think it might be a hardware issue

I have an advent laptop with windows 7. When I turn it on, it starts up as usual and then goes to the advent screen and then another screen which gives me the option to either "Launch startup repair (recommended)" or "Start windows normally". Whichever one I select, the same thing happens. It comes up with the normal login screen but not with the user picture or name, just the blue background. I have tried rebooting and waiting for over 15 minutes but it won't change from that blue screen. The mouse still works but there is nothing to click on. I have also tried pressing F8 at the advent screen but none of the safe mode options etc. work.

I have a Toshiba that is less than a year old and whenever I listen to music, watch movies or watch videos, my laptop will create a loud buzzing noise and will stutter. This happens every few minutes and it has got worse the past few days. I've done quick scans on Norton and it hasn't found any viruses, so I don't know what is causing the stutter.

I have set my laptop to go to sleep when I close the lid. According to the online help, it should stay in sleep mode unless the battery gets low, in which case it hibernates. Well after a while of being asleep, my laptop goes into hibernation regardless of the battery life remaining. This can happen after an hour or so.
How can I stop it from hibernating, or is this normal?

Whenever I try to log into my laptop I just get a deformed taskbar, everything is running like there's 30MB of RAM installed and I can't even open task manager, eventually resulting in me having to crash the laptop after 10 minutes because nothing will progress.The reason I'm able to post right now, is because I'm in safe mode.Safe mode boots fine, let's me log in, and I'd use it except.. well.. It's safe mode. I can't access any sound or video card drivers so there's not much I can do.[CODE]

On Windows 7 Laptop, incessantly prompts to update Java. I've said yes, I've said no, I've changed the settings to turn off automatic updates several times. It won't stop. It prompts about 80% of the time I boot computer on. I've read a few things about messing with registry edits, but really don't want to start with that.

Toshiba Satellite A665. My USB ports work fine from startup, and can even work after waking from sleep mode. However, I notice that if I move my laptop to another location, my USB gets disabled. Occasionally, my mouse and other devices may receive power, but other times they may not even receive power. Either way, they are never detected anymore. I have already tried unplugging and replugging the devices to no avail, and I have also reinstalled all of the drivers.

For months I had Windows 7 installed and running without any incidents; I was using Microsoft Security Essentials. The other day I installed Win8, decided I hated it, and reformatted/installed Windows 7. This time I tried Avast 7 Free and things looked good for a while until I woke up my PC from Sleep mode then it crashed.

I have a Plextor 716-A DVD drive in my machine that's running Windows 7 32-bit, ASUS P5Q deluxe MB and 2 x SATA HDD's. The DVD drive is not found by Windows on start-up, it does not appear in My Computer or in Computer Management - basically Windows knows nothing about it.
The DVD drive is found in the BIOS and I can see it's being loaded during boot-up. I can use the drive as a bootable drive. The drive is only discovered by Windows when I enter and then resume from sleep mode or hibernation and works fine.

When I turn on the laptop (Dell Inspiron) it gets to the Resuming Windows screen then goes to a blank screen and then hangs forever.
There is just a blank black screen and the mouse cursor. I can move the mouse cursor but there is nothing to click on. F8 does't seem to take me into safe mode or anything like that.
I can get into bios and boot menu before it gets to the Resuming Windows screen but don't know what to do there.

I just built a new computer and had it running stable for several days with all hardware except the graphics card and a new monitor. After plugging the new video card, I believe the system remained stable, but am not 100% confident since it only survived overnight. After plugging the new monitor (HP z2740w) and connecting via USB crashes started occurring when resuming from sleep.
I tried uninstalling the graphics drivers and the problem seems to have stopped for now, so I'm reinstalling to see if anything changes.
Windows 7 Pro 64 OEM (System Builder) Everything in the machine is brand new except the hard drives. Installation age is a few days.

I got a new monitor (Dell 2007wfp) and hooked it up to via VGA cable. I ordered a usb cable for it, and a DVI cable and then I went out of town for two weeks and completely unplugged all electronics including my computer. When I got back I installed the new cables, plugged everything back in, and the computer wouldn't start. The light on the PSU was flashing. I re-seated the PSU and then it came on just fine. Now every time my computer tries to resume from sleep I get a BSOD with the error "Bad_Pool_Caller".I have included the files requested in the instructions.

When coming out of hibernation in Windows 7, I get the following error message:
"Your system's firmware did not preserve the system memory map across the hibernation transition. If you proceed with resume, your system could behave in an unexpected manner after resume completes. It is recommended that you save all your data and reboot after system resume finishes. Kindly check for a firmware update with your system vender as it may fix this problem."
Windows 7 continues to resume and I have not noticed any problems once it resumes.
I am dual booting Vista 64 bit SP2 and Windows 7 64bit on an HP DV3510NR. I recently flashed the latest bios version for my system dated May 2009.
I have no problem resuming from hibernation when booted into Vista. Has anyone else gotten this error message. Any thoughts on how to go about solving this?

Every time my dell laptop is in sleep mode for a while - and there is still plenty of battery left it seems to "resume windows" and it's like a startup. Shouldn't it just ask for my password and be there right away?

I have a Dell laptop that I went to turn on. The message "Resuming Windows" came on for about 5-10 seconds, then the computer turned off. Now when I press the power button nothing happens. No lights no noise nothing. I'm hoping its just stuck in sleep mode or something.

My adapter is always gone from resuming from sleep. I know it was working before. Just changed my ram and bios settings from a fresh build. Went from Corsair xms3 to G.Skill Ripjaws.
I am having this same issue with my newly built pc. The drive running Windows 7 is from a laptop where the mobo died. I am using it in AHCI mode because my case has a front hot swap caddy.
I have a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 mobo and after installing and uninstalling drivers, software, changing settings, removing ram, changing power options to maximum power for pci card and wifi, turning off hibernate, restarted, rebooted, updated all drivers from Gigabyte, chipset drivers, etc. I have unchecked "allow Windows to turn off this device". Restarted and tested and I get the same issue. I have unchecked this box in all of my networking devices too including, 802.11n Wireless Lan Card #2 and Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter. Also, uninstalled and reinstalled these and updated drivers from my disc that came from Gigabyte as well as driver update from the Gigabyte website.
Nothing I do will turn on my wifi card after sleep. Windows will not see a network adapter. Everything works fine after restarting though. I have S3 enabled in bios as that is what I want. I have case fans that I don't want to hear with no option to turn them off. Otherwise, i'd be fine with S1.
Is this just not a working feature? I've read that sleep is an ongoing issue with Windows, but my pc sleeps fine. I just want to be able to put my pc to S3 sleep and resume with a working wifi card. There must be a key setting i'm missing because i'm sure it was working with my last set of ram.

System Spec:64 bit- I built the machine August 2010, I have not reinstalled the OS since. Full Retail Version of Windows 7.I have been experiencing problems with this machine since about a month after I built it in August 2011. At first I would get a BSOD just every once in a while. I am at architecture school and I didn't have time to address the issue, so I just kept a diligent written log of every time I noticed it happening. I have included that as an attachment. You'll notice that there was not an obvious trigger - it would not crash as soon as I opened something, or as soon as I tried to use the sound card. It would happen both while I was working in Adobe Illustrator, and when I left my computer idle to go grab a cup of coffee or something like that. I have included all the dump files I have as attachments.Recently, however, Windows has had trouble resuming. I can't figure out exactly what is happening because it hasn't happened while I was at my computer yet. But, pretty much every time I return to my computer after a 10 minute absence, I come back to a black screen with a blinking white underscore in the top left corner. I think it has something to do with the machine going to sleep and having trouble resuming windows.
Another clue, which I've researched a little bit, is that I think I heard a single beep the other day. Granted, I'm in a studio with 50 other people and there are cellphones, headphones tons of computer and all kinds of noise, but I'm sure enough about what I heard to include it here. The forums I checked suggested this was a problem with the RAM.Here is a list of the components from the NewEgg invoice:

Nothing I do will turn on my wifi card after sleep. Windows will not see a network adapter. In device manager, there is no wireless card, even after showing hidden devices. Adding a device does not discover it. Installing the network card driver and software does nothing to detect it. Windows thinks there is no device connected. Everything works fine after restarting though. I have S3 enabled in bios as that is what I want. I have cpu fan that I don't want to hear with no option to turn them off.

Windows 7 64-bit
ASUS P7P55D-E LX
Core i5-750
Just the other day, I bought a Samsung 830 SSD and tried to install it yesterday. There were several problems, including the SSD not showing up in disk management and Windows Explorer, but showing up in device manager, and showing up in the BIOS. The biggest problem, however, was learning that my motherboard could not do SATA 6 without halving my PCI-E x16 lane. Anyway, I decided to hold off on the SSD until my next build and I'm sending it back.
The issue now is that I cannot put my computer to sleep. When I do, it resumes within a second or so. I tried unplugging every device from it, including my Ethernet cable and all USB devices, and it still persists. I also changed power management to disallow my network card from waking my computer, and changed the suspend mode of my USB controller to disallow them to wake the computer as well.
While installing the SSD, I recall changing the SATA 6 Marvell controller from IDE to AHCI (two SATA 6 ports are controlled by Marvell (into which I plugged my SSD) and the others by JMicron). As of writing, the Marvell controller is back to IDE and has nothing plugged into it. I also installed a few SATA controller drivers while attempting to get SATA 6 speeds and trying to figure out why my SSD was not showing up in disk management (I could not even format it via a right-click and it had no drive letter).
My suspend mode is set to "Auto" in BIOS, same as it's always been. Perhaps this has nothing to do with my failed installation of the SSD. But it only began after I tried to install it.
