External Mic Not Working After Sleep Mode?
Apr 22, 2012My mic doesn't work after I wake my computer from sleep mode. To get it to work, I have to unplug my mic, shut down all my applications that use a mic, plug my mic in, then restart the applications. It works, but it's a bit of a nuisance to do that every day.

Dec 12, 2011I'm not blindly posting the issue. I have done research and followed other threads in order to troubleshoot the problem but to no avail.I built my computer back in January of this year. Not up until a few days ago did I start having this issue. I can't think of any major changes I made in order to cause this. I can use my Logitech Mouse and Keyboard the wake the computer up from the sleep mode... but once it's up, neither of them are responding.Things I checked for: Latest update on the USB drivers, Logitech Software update (including the PS/2 Driver) Windows update. I checked if the option is checked ON for 'Allow this device to wake up the computer' (and it is on). When other things are plugged in the same USB port, they work just fine after sleep mode, e.g. my drawin

Oct 15, 2009my screensaver has worked in the past. at some point i noticed it was no longer working, so i messed around a bit. i think all i did was change the time to something different, and it came back to life for another day or so. it has stopped again, and all of my old tricks are no longer working. i'm pretty sure i have all the power settings correct, and i've been using the screensaver window for years, so those are correct too. I've read about wireless keyboards and mice being a problem, but both of mine are wired.

Screensaver And Power Off Monitor Not Working
Mar 30, 2009I have build 7068. From the start my screensaver and power options are not working. The problem is sometimes they DO work. I am having trouble diagnosing it because of that fact. What would cause this? I just want the monitor to turn off 30 minutes after stop using the computer. That's the main issue. I go to "power options" and set it at 30 minutes and never put to sleep. What am I missing here?

Apr 12, 2009I am running Windows 7 7000 x64 on a quad core intel box. Most things have been working great but I have been having one annoying problem, the screensaver won't start, and neither will the power saving settings (i.e. turning off monitor, computer sleep)
Basically I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and figured out what software or hardware could be causing it or if anyone knows of a tool to check what input is keeping the computer out of the idle state.

Bug In Sleep Mode?
May 24, 2012I bought a new notebook running windows 7 64 bit a couple of months ago After running a full system scan with Kaspersky anti-virus a couple of days ago I now have a bug with sleep mode - After going into sleep mode, the user with my picture icon is locked meaning that I can't enter my password to log back in - the password box doesn't show.With the ASUS face recognition scanner I'm logged back in, but everything is 'buggy' e.g. if I click on the start button and hover over that entire area it goes into sleep again, or if i click on the bookmarks on chrome it doesn't show them, instead it click on an actual site within the bookmarks.After going into sleep the only way to enter and return to a normal state is to click the 'switch user' whereupon, my user picture icon reverts with the password boxI have tried a system restore but this didn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPC Goes To Sleep Mode Automatically
Oct 7, 2012Since a few days my PC developed an unusual behaviour: it goes to sleep mode at random intervals ! sometimes it does that at windows start up for several times...
I had microsoft security essential installed and read on some forums that it could be the reason for this problem: I unistalled that. Then I run online scanned from ESET nd Bitdefender: all clean.
Then I installed avas free edition (as I was without any anti-virus software). Did a complete system scan with no problem. I messed up with the power consumpion settings with no results.
The only solution I could find was to use the software "Dontsleep.exe" which I found googling around: it works ! I looked up all the running services and application at windows sturtup and disabled a lot of them with no results.
Stuck In Sleep Mode?
Dec 28, 2012So this might be the wrong place for this thread but I didnt see a computer specific section so i picked this just incase it is related to my windows. Anyway the problem i am having is that every so often, more often then not actually, when my computer hibernates from inactivity, it cannot be woken up. I click the mouse, press everything on the keyboard and nothing will happen. I even try pressing the power button yet that does nothing. The power button just keeps blinking as normal when in sleep mode. I also tried Holding down the power button, in hope to force shutdown the computer but that did not work either. The only way anything happens is if i unplug the computer and then plug it back in. Unfortunately i know thats really bad for the computer but i dont really have a choice.[CODE]In addition, i have restored my computer to factory defaults, aswell as installed all the latest drivers
View 4 Replies View RelatedBSOD After Sleep Mode
Jun 3, 2012After putting my computer to sleep, upon waking I receive an error code, which should be present in the dump file. I closed the error window before copy pasting it in here. I will update the post with the error information next time it happens. This only happens when putting my computer to sleep. Hibernate and shutdown do not have this problem, and I have not received any BSOD's during use. This has been happening for about 10 days. My memory set up is kind of strange. I have 2x1GB 1.8V ram and 2x2GB 2.1V ram, both DDR2, and both running at 2.0V. I didn't want to overvolt the 1.8V ones too much. The timings are slightly loosened on the 2.1V ram to match those of the 1.8V ram. I have run Memtest86 with no errors. My hard drives have also checked out fine.I have my q6600 overclocked to 3.0GHz, with a voltage increase, CPU-Z is saying it is running at 1.408V. I have run plenty of Prime95 tests. No stability problems, and temperatures are always acceptable. I have had it at this overclock for 7 months, ran at stock the previous 4-5 years. My GTX 460 is overclocked as well, always has been stable as well, with temperatures plenty low enough.

Sep 21, 2010I am not savvy in this kind of stuff. My husband has a home built computer that runs our tv system with windows media center. He had to leave on a military deployment and right before he left he had to reinstall the OS. Since then the computer refuses to wake from sleep mode. I have to scram it to get it to come back up. Since we run the media center it ought to wake up to record automatically, but it isn't doing that either. I've checked all the power options but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Although, at this point, I really have no clue.

I have searched various forums and tried the following fixes: I have already made sure that network adapters are not allowed to wake up the computer.

Freezes In Sleep Mode
Jul 22, 2009Windows 7 is freezing in sleep mode now... I don't think it's my drivers or anything because 2 updates earlier it worked fine. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is an RC problem, or if something is wrong with my computer. I hope not since this computer is only 2 week old... There is like nothing on it and everything downloaded has been from a disk so no viruses (well except kasperky anti-virus but I HOPE that would be clean lol).
Basically when I put it into sleep manually, I cannot get it out, and my power/reset buttons do not work, I actually need to turn off the electricity.
Oh, and it's not my screen considering I CAN turn my screen on but it goes right back into powersave mode (sleep mode). I DID force it out once, and it said no signal from the computer even though the computer is on. This leads me to believe it is the OS (or god forbid one of my parts).
I just realized something... I have on HD connected via sata cable, but I took the power away from it (I wanted to hear something). I mean is that the possible cause? I doubt it though since it's not registered as an HD due to having no power... And my sound card light is on, so I'm assuming that is still on when I put the computer in powersave mode... Maybe that's an issue?
Sleep Mode Still Freeze Up, Win 7 RTM
Aug 11, 2009I am still having bug and freeze problems on all of the computers that I have been testing on since the first release in November.
I am currently testing both x64 and x86 versions on 4 of my PC's and still having minor bug issues, and the major freeze problem.
I do not Just use my PC's for e-mails, browsing the web and gaming. I primarily use them for Engineering Design Work and they need lots of resources to operate efficiently. My primary Base unit is the one I do most of my work on and the Most efficient Operating system on it is Windows XP x64 (sp2) and customized. (Not the Basic install of services and registry sets).
The freeze issue is random and it happens when my PC's go into sleep mode. Some times the will wake up normally, but way to often they will not wake at all, I have to force re-boot. And no error logs related to sleep mode issues, only the E-ID 41 (forced re-boot). This has happened on all the releases from 7000 to 7127, and now 7600, the releases from 7137 to 7229 never had this problem. And this has happened on all my test PC's including Laptops and Desktops.
I have tried many changes in settings for Power Settings (Advanced), Network Adapter Settings, Monitor settings.
Ideally I want my Network Adapter to stay Active on my main box so I can access files from my other computers any time I need them, I want my HDD's to go to sleep when not in use so they will live for a while. and My Monitors to shut down when not in use.

Jun 29, 2012When system goes to sleep longer than a hour and you wake it up the bottom third of the screen freezing. The top 2/3's get split like window pane a when you scroll the top 2/s's will scroll but the bottom 1/3 will remain as it was before sleep. Also the bottom third wont have any hover icon effects though icon will still work, the task work as intended. If I restart the programs the will work fine but windows has to restart for icon hover effects to work.
