View 5 Replieswhen my computer goes to sleep after it's on for a while when I move the mouse to get the screen back up it shows the backround no icons or anything to click. Same if I turn it off and turn it back on. I have to turn it off and on many times then go to safe mode and shut down then turn it on again for it to work. Just now I had to turn it on/off 4 times for it to show the icons and task bar. Usually it is left blank with nothing to click having no choice but to turn it off. Norton says no viruses. My computer is HP with windows 7. I bought it in 2011.

It will hibernate once then come back on will not hibernate again.In fact it goes off into some weird power state each time, of sleep, then a few minutes later waking, or never sleeping and waking right away. It disables my keyboard light until I restart.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo basically I just installed my FX-4130 with 8GB ram, and I need to get a 64-bit OS. I read through some sites etc. and seems like you must boot your computer with an OS DVD in order to turn 32-bit into 64-bit. So my question is, can I boot up an upgrade DVD or do I need an OEM one? Also do most places that sell OS's have OEM's too? Windows 8 upgrade costs only 59€ now, normally 270€ so I'd get that if I can turn my computer into 64-bit with that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI followed it thoroughly and unfortunately I still have no hiberfil.sys file. The system locks, the screen goes into energy saving mode, but Windows doesn't hibernate. It all began when I upgraded Ubuntu (have a dual-boot), made a clean install of the 12.04 version, seemed to get all partitions encrypted, then messed up the grub, and finally I had a hard time assigning auto-mount and read-write privileges to all of them.Ubuntu seems fine now, and Windows sleeps but can't hibernate (or allow the hybrid sleep).Windows' partition is listed as "boot", I disabled the option of auto-mount for Ubuntu, but it still doesn't work.

From past 2 days I notice that the McAfee antivirus is turning OFF and ON by itself and in parallel the Windows Update as well is turning OFF and ON by itself. Despite I manually put it back ON, after some times it goes OFF. My antivirus software is upto date though.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy and my familly have four computers. Two are laptops. One Laptop is Running Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit (Upgraded from Vista Home Premium), another is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Neither of these have any problems.However, the two desktop computers we own have the same problem. Both are made by Dell. My desktop, running Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1 turns off randomly, without displaying a "shutting down" screen and without downloading or installing any updates. This has been happening for the last three months (when I first started using the computer), yet has got more common starting two weeks ago, happening five times since then, three in the last 48 hours. The computer sometimes turns off while typing, however the last two times it has turned off the mouse and keyboard (while on, according to their lights) have stopped moving on the screen for two-five seconds before the computer turns off.
View 13 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 laptop set to turn off screen after a few minutes of inactivity using Windows 7 power options. Sometimes the screen turns on/wakes up while in this state seemingly randomly for no reason.
It's running an Opera session, gadgets for weather, CPU monitor, and calendar. Sometimes runs other apps but that doesn't seem to affect this behavior at all.
No notifications pop up when this happens, no errors. No viruses, CPU usage is very low (single digits). No new applications installed, nothing really installed besides windows updates and Opera update (this didn't change anything). Nothing obvious changed since before this started happening besides these updates. No graphics driver updates. Windows 7 install is about 5 months old.
I recently installed Windows 7 coming from XP. My on board sound is turned off while idle. There is no option in power management to disable this nor is it available in the device manger settings. My motherboard is an ASUS M4A87TD EVO with VIA VT1818 on board audio.

And after clicking the repair option it is in the middle of loading it then it just turns of and I have the whole problem again. If I wait a day or so I can successfully repair it according to the popup but the. After a while it turns of again and the whole problem starts over again. The thing is I have not made any changes to my computer regarding software or windows 7 this just happened randomly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a USB TV Tuner which works fine to watch TV in WMC. However, when a programme is set to record, and my laptop goes into sleep mode, I believe it turns off the USB TV Tuner, and therefore the programme doesn't record. WMC support center says that the program is able to record when the computer is in sleep so I know it is not the program which is the issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn windows XP, I could turn off the annoying "remember folder settings" that forced each folder to have it's own settings instead of always being in the same as the one I left it when I closed it. Windows 7 does not do that. I can tell it to "make all folders like current" which isn't what I want. Is there an option or was that removed to be made inferior to XP in another way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows randomly started having problems returning from hibernation and I cannot figure out why. Any time it returns from hibernation the screen is black but it has a backlight to it so I can tell it's on and I can hear the discs spinning so I know it's working. I have to hard boot it to get it back. I tried increasing the paging file size in virtual memory. I have 8GB of ram and I increased my paging file all the way to 16GB just to be safe. Reinstalled video card drivers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 will will shutdown if I hold down the power button, however it will not shutdown when manually hitting "Shutdown" or just pushing the power button once.Everything looks normal when it's shutting down, it says it's shutting down. The lights on the case and fans go off, the fans shut off, yet a few seconds after the fans shutdown completely, the computer magically starts back up again. So it does shutdown (technically, all the signs are there) but it starts back up.Aside from the shutdown feature not working, sleep doesn't work (I don't use hibernate because I don't want to waste SSD write cycles). When I put the computer into sleep mode, it shuts down the fans and lights, however just like the shutdown issue, the computer powers itself back on (wake on LAN is off). Even though it is powered on, it isn't out of sleep mode. None of the peripheral devices work and I can't get the monitors to turn back on, therefore I have to hard boot the computer by holding down the power button. When I turn the computer back on, it is back where I left it before I put it into sleep mode.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had Windows 7 running great on my Dell XPS M1530 Notebook, until I turned it on this morning before work and left it on. Apparently while I was gone, it went into sleep or hibernate, and then, when I turned it on last night nothing came up on my display or my second monitor. The computer acted just as if it was booting up normally, but nothing ever showed up on the LCD. I waited over an hour, thinking it may just be having a hard time recover from hibernate, but nothing happened. I then had to just reset using the power button to retry. I did that several times with the same results. Then I unplugged it and just let the charge run out, hoping it would work this morning, but same deal.

When I put Windows 7 in hibernation and switch the computer back on, I don't get the dual boot menu which gives me the option to choose between 7 or XP. Instead, Windows 7 starts loading. Is it possible to start XP while 7 is in hibernation, and if so, how can I do this?

I have a curious problem with sleep mode on my Win7 build. These issues are usually traced to needing an updated driver for the video card, but I have the most recent one and it didn't make a difference.
My system specs can be seen by clicking on More Information under my avatar, then Member Configuration. Win7 on an SSD on an Asus P7C55D Deluxe.
When I select "Sleep" from the shutdown menu, the system does go into what I usually see for sleep mode. It powers down the monitor and the moving drives, and the power light goes into a slow blink state. So far, normal. If I press the power button to come out of sleep, drives spin but the monitor does not come on and I can't do anything. Not what one wants, but not unusual if there are drivers or hardware that do not support sleep mode.
Then I pressed the hard-reset button. BIOS started as expected, but when it came time to start Win7 it restored the last session state, as if coming out of hibernate. That's unexpected: It went into the sleep state, but also wrote out hiberfile.sys. Or was that "it hibernated, but also went into sleep state?"
And Hibernate does not appear on my Shutdown menu as a choice. So for a while, I would select Sleep, cut power, and reboot. Recently, I assigned the Hibernate function to the power button, and I get a clean Hibernate when I press that button.
how I can get true Sleep mode? This same machine does true Sleep mode in XP if I boot my XP drive, with the same video card and even the same ancient SCSI card.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 2007(?) Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit installed for quite a while now and it's been working fine. However, a few days ago the wireless stopped working. I've checked the Device Manager to see if there was anything wrong with the driver, and there wasn't any red X's or yellow exclamation points. I uninstalled it anyway, shut down my computer, and rebooted. Driver is reinstalled but wireless card isn't picking up any networks.When I hit Windows Key + X, it brings up the Windows Mobility Center and under the Wireless Network box, the button to "Turn wireless on" is greyed out. Weird.As it stands now, the ethernet port still works and when I have it unplugged, the icon shows the wireless bars with a red X in the corner.I've disabled my Avast! anti-virus program as well. It is not running after I rebooted my computer again.Also, going to cmd and typing ipconfig shows the "Media State....Media Disconnected".
