Windows 7 X64 Ultimate Will Not Wake-on-LAN
Mar 26, 2012
I am trying to set up my media server PC to be completely controlled from my Android phone. However, I am unable to get WoL working. I have enabled WoL from BIOS and the network device settings, but am still unable to wake the computer from sleep with a magic packet. I can wake the computer from sleep with other devices (ie: my USB keyboard).
I have the latest update for my BIOS, as well as the latest drivers for the onboard Ethernet adapter. I have enabled the option to allow PCIe devices to wake the computer, and have enabled the options on my onboard Ethernet adapter to "Wake on Magic Packet." Under Power Management, have "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power," "Allow this device to wake the computer," and "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer" checked. I have also tried unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power," which also greys out the other two options, and that does not work either.
"wolsniffer" shows that the magic packet is being received when the computer is powered on, and I have tried enabling and disabling "Hybrid Sleep" mode because I have seen that suggested as a possible issue for Windows 7 WoL.
The computer:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Asus P7P55D mobo
Intel i5 750
GeForce 210
4GB RAM (unsure of speed)

Logmein software is able to wake the computer up with On Board Wake up is disabled or enabled in BIOS.I have also Toshiba L505D.Logmein software can wake the computer up only if Wake up on LAN is enabled in BIOS.What is the difference between ASUS BIOS's On Board Wake up option and Toshiba BIOS's Wake up on LAN option? UPDATE: I found out that ASUS's Option was for diskless boot and using network hard disks as hard disks. Nothing to do with Wake up on LAN.

I just installed Windows 7 (64 bit) on a fresh system last night. Installation was fine, did a little web browsing, then put the machine to sleep. This morning, I go to the computer, click the mouse, and...nothing. Press a bunch of keys, nothingCutting power to the machine causes it to power up, power down, then power back up.And I have no idea what's going on.

I will first say I have searched the internet far and wide and have not found a solution that has worked yet. Secondly, this is a home build that is nearly a year old with no issues to this point so it's not connected to so-and-so PC supplier who released a driver update that I know of.About a week ago, my computer has decided to take its time when waking up from sleep. It is Windows 7 Professional, completely updated with no problems to that point. When it falls asleep and I wake it up, the machine starts up and is active, but my monitors, external hard drive, and other peripherals are never turned on as they once were and the machine just sits there running with a black screen. After exactly 1 minute and 50 seconds, the hard drive, monitors, mouse, keyboard light up and I'm good to go. It was about 10 seconds prior to whatever it is that happened. I have tried turning off hybrid sleep. I have tried using hibernation instead of sleep. Same error. I found online where someone said they had this problem with an ATI card, but once they upgraded the Catalyst Control Center and drivers, they had no problems. That did no good. The only update I've done recently is Firefox, but I have not seen any other reports of the newest Firefox causing sleep problems. I read where someone had a problem with waking up from sleep mode because of Firefox's memory leaks and they said closing Firefox before putting it to sleep helped.I upgraded to SP1 after that and it didn't correct anything.It does not matter if I put it to sleep and wake it up immediately or if it goes to sleep and when I get home from work, boot it up. The same thing happens no matter the length of time.
I have a dual boot with Ubuntu, but that has been on there for months with no errors and Ubuntu will sleep and wake up just fine, usually; sleep has never worked correctly for it. There have been no hardware changes or any hardware driver changes other than the video card. I tried rolling back video card drivers to see if there was a difference with no change. My ASRock MB has the most up to date BIOS that has been out for over a year. My video card is a 5770, but like I said, I've tried older and new drivers. I tried the prevx black screen fix with no luck. I saw the Windows hotfix for this problem, but no where did they provide a link to this hotfix so I'm assuming it was downloaded in an update at some point so it is doing no good for me.

I recently formatted my computer (yesterday, to be precise) but I have some kind of a problem I had before. My system starts the hibernation process after 30 minutes of inactivity and sometimes, like, if it's 4 or 5 hours (during night) without being activated, it simply doesn't wake up. It means my monitor display is black and cannot load. I have to reset it.I'm using Windows 7 64 bits and my system specs are displayed on my profile.

I saw one of the features of Windows 7 was the instant on after the screen on a laptop is closed. However, on my Samsung Q330 - If I open the screen I have to press the power button to get the computer to wake. How can I change this so when the screen is opened the computer wakes up?

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.

I recently built my first PC - AMD FX8350 on an Asus M5A88M motherboard. Running Windows 7, set up mostly as default. Newest drivers on everything.
The sleep functionality (using the default Balanced mode) had been working fine as far as I could tell. I'd walk away from the computer for a while, or leave it on overnight, and come back to find it asleep. A few taps on the keyboard or a push of the flashing power button would wake it up.
Recently, I've been having trouble waking the computer from longer sleeps (overnight). Nothing seems to wake it - the mouse, the keyboard, or the power button - I get no fans or anything, the system seems locked up tight. I actually have to switch off the power supply and then turn it back on. Only after that can I hit the power button and it resumes. For short sleeps (a couple of hours), everything works as it should.
I only have it set to sleep after 30 minutes (hybrid sleep actually). I have hibernate set to never. Monitor turns off after 10 minutes. Hard drives off after 20 minutes. These are the default settings for Balanced. As far as I can tell, there should be no difference to Windows if the PC has been sleeping for 1 hour or 12 hours, there are no different settings that kick in after a longer period of time.
Recently I converted from a PS/2 to a USB keyboard - that's been the only change. When I run powercfg, it shows the mouse, keyboard, and Realtek device (presumably the power button) as the ones that would wake the computer.

I bought the full retail Win 7 Ultimate and trying to upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate, both 32bit. I get to the Expanding Windows files to 21% and nothing. The program is still running and stuck at 21% but after waiting 3 hours I shut power off and Vista was reinstated. Why can't I get past 21% Expanding Windows files? I want to use the upgrade because I have a ton of programs on my Vista and don't want to spend days reinstalling them.

This is now my third time with this problem, the first required me to restore to factory settings. These last two seem to have been triggered by a power flicker at my residence. The power momentarily flickered long enough for my computer to shut down. After booting the computer seems fine until approx 5-10 min later it will enter sleep mode no matter what I am actively doing on the pc. I fixed the second time with a restoration to two days before the incident. This time I restored to that same point and it still has the problem. Power settings are on high performance with sleep and hibernate set to never.

I've been having a problem with Windows 7 recently on my new computer that I just got a couple weeks ago. The problem is that my computer will have a blue screen error when waking from sleep mode. I don't see the blue screen at all, instead, when waking from sleep mode, I see the BIOS screen and then it goes through the typical startup process as if the computer had been powered OFF instead of put into sleep mode (however, I know it was properly in sleep mode, as the power light on my tower flashes continually rather than shutting off during this mode). I get the message that Windows did not shut down properly and have the option to boot into safe mode, etc. When I boot back into normal mode I receive a message in Windows saying windows has recovered from an unexpected shut down. [code] However, when I tried to install the hotfix, I was given the message "This update does not apply to your system", which I have read may be an indicator that the update has already been installed? I have run Chkdsk on drive C successfully, and I have installed every available windows update as of today (Apr 14, 2012)

I have a 4-month old Dell Inspiron N411Z with Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I have been noticing that it has trouble "waking up" after sleep or hibernate, when I open the lid, after it was left on from the previous usage, I have to hit power button and it boots up with the first screen being safe mode, start windows normally, etc. I get the unexpected shutdown screen. It then boots normally and all is well, until I close the lid and let it sit, this happens whether it is plugged up or not. My first thought was to adjust power settings, sleep/hibernate timers, etc. I have tried nearly every combination, down to choosing "never sleep or hibernate" and still have the same result upon starting up again. I have scoured forums, updated drivers, tested and tried nearly all advice that I have found and can't seem to resolve this. Upon reviewing my Event Viewer, I am consistently getting the same errors nearly every time. The following will be the first six entries in "Administrative Events":
-ERROR-The previous system shutdown at 5:16:06 PM on 5/1/2012 was unexpected. -WARNING-Name resolution for the name [URL] timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
[Code]....
Nothing that I do or change, seems to affect the outcome. However, one thing that I have noticed is when I take the laptop to work or vacation with me, it seems to work fine!?? I noticed this after packing it my suitcase and not using it for nearly 3 days on a trip and went to use it when I got home, expecting to have to boot up as usual, and I get the "resuming windows" screen! as well as a nearly full battery, as if it went in to sleep/hibernation and woke up as it should. This has happened at least 2 times that I am aware of?

I am running Windows 7 Pro x64 and I am having an issue where my computer goes into sleep mode, fails to wake from sleep, strangely resumes its state once I do a cold restart, and then after restarting again, refuses to boot.Computer goes to sleep based on the time set in the Balance Power options scheme. Fine. Often, computer wakes up perfectly fine from moving the mouse or pressing a key. Fine. Very occasionally however, upon waking up the computer, the lights, keyboard lights, fans and everything else except for the display comes on. I am forced to do a cold shutdown by pressing the reset button. Upon booting up, Windows displays "Restarting Windows" rather than "Starting Windows" and resumes its state when it went to sleep. Strange but OK. Everything seems to work normally. The problems come in when I then do a shutdown or restart after it has resumed from the cold shutdown. The computer shuts down perfectly fine but during the next boot, freezes right during the animation of the windows logo and immediately restarts the computer and launches into the DOS-looking prompt asking whether I want to do a Startup Repair because the computer failed to boot.
I have tried Startup Repair from HD and from the Windows disc and neither have done anything. I am usually forced to just reformat everything and start anew. This problem recently started occurring after I installed an Intel X-25m 120GB ssd and put the Windows partition on it. I'm not sure if that's related to the problem. Also, all of my power options are set to the Windows default.
My hardware is:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 factory 2.4Ghz
RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR2 4x1GB
HDD: Intel X25m SSD 120GB (Windows) + Seagate 400GB HDD (everything else)
Mobo: Intel DG965OT
Video: ATI HIS Radeon HD 5770

I've got it to work flawlessly on my desktop, however on my laptop, a Dell D630, I can't seem to get it to work. I've created a task triggering on a specific time and running the operation '/c "exit"', which should just start a command prompt and close it again. I've set it to "run with highest privileges" and "wake the computer to run this task". However, it just doesn't boot as scheduled.
The history of the scheduler says nothing at the moment that the trigger is set to go off, but a minut later (probably when I manually boot) I get a "Task scheduler "{....}" instance of the task "Wakeup" due to a time trigger condition."

I've spent countless hours looking for solutions on google and i can't fix it.My HTPC can go in S3 standby mode successfully. BUT the only way to wake my computer is to press the power button. When i wake it up, it starts where it was before so S3 mode is working. Problem is just waking it up.The weirdest thing is that it USED to work. Around 2 months ago i was waking up my computer with my keyboard and it worked. But i stopped to use this feature, and now that i need it, it isn't working anymore.
Oh, also wake-on-LAN isn't working neither. And it also used to be working 2 months ago. I really don't know what happenned.Here's a couple of screenshots. Sorry my windows is in french, but i'll translate the text for you:

Picture from my BIOS
Device manager -> Keyboard -> Power management
>>> Option "Allow this device to wake computer from standby mode" is checked
>>> Option "allow computer to turn off this device to save energy" is unchecked and greyed out
Device manager -> Network cards -> Realtek PCIe -> Advanced
>>> Wake on pattern match : ACTIVATED
>>> Wake on Magic Packet : ACTIVATED
Can't see it on screenshot but the option "Stop wake on LAN" is DISABLED (i also tryed to turn it on but it doesn't change anything)
"powercfg -devicequery wake_armed" tells me that my keyboard is allowed to wake my computer
"powercfg -a" tells me that S3 mode is supported, but S1 and S2 is disabled (that's normal)
Power configuration :
S1 after : Never
Allow hybrid mode : Yes
S3 mode after : 60 minutes
Allow wake timers : No
Selective USB suspension : Off
My hardware:
AMD A6-3650 APU W/ AMD Radeon 65XX HD / Socket FM1 2.6GHZ 4MB 100W

Seasonic 450w 80+Gold (fanless)
4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL DDR3-1600
Crucial M4 SSD
Solutions tryed, unsuccessfully:
- resetting BIOS/CMOS
- updating BIOS and all other drivers to latest versions
- disabling all other USB devices
- tryed every single USB slots, with and without USB hubs, usb2 instead of usb3 and vice-versa...
- tryed with two different power supplies
- tryed different keyboards
- tryed mouse instead of keyboard, LAN instead of USB...

Wake-on-lan stops working after being in sleep mode or off for an extended time (hours?). Bios is set correctly at S3, router port 9 correctly forwarded, W7 security is set correctly, and the NIC properties are set to allow magic packets to wake the machine. Everything works perfectly all the time over my LAN no matter how long the PC is off. When I send WOL remotely over the Internet it works fine in sleep mode or turned off for a while then fails. I have noticed after waking from sleep that the internet connection icon in the W7 tray indicates a loss of Internet but automatically reacquires after a few seconds. I think this is the root of mine and many other's problem. Something is shutting off the Internet connection. Because the system will wake over the LAN when this happens it proves that the bios, router, ans NIC are alive and passing the packets. My router and LAN IP addresses have not changed either. why the system would stop communication with the internet?

Title says it all. There are some things you can do from a distance using other pc's, a phone, etc, but I hate leaving my computer on. Anybody have any creative ways to be able to wake a computer up from a distance? Hibernate preferable but I understand it may be unreasonably difficult, perhaps sleep would be better? Still, sleep doesn't give the energy saving advantages as hibernation.

It's my first time posting! I've been browsing this forum and many sites on google trying to find the solution to my problem, but I can't really understand what is going on, even when taking a look at the dump file. I ran memtest, did all the usual things, but no sign of source of error to pin point. Every single time I put my laptop to sleep and keep it like that for longer amount of time (I think it's about 20 minutes) I can't get my laptop back from sleep in a normal fashion. What I mean is, that the screen never turns back off, stays completely black, my external monitor doesn't turn on either, just goes to idle mode. After reboot I get a message that there was a blue screen error and I can try to look for solution online. I read that my SSD HDD might be the cause of it, but after updating the firmware the problem persisted and after looking at my memory dumps, I found out that DirectX kernel is causing the problems, but updating it didn't yield any results, the problem persists, so perhaps I am missing something in the dumps that aren't that obvious to spot.My RAM aren't stock that came with computer, both chips 4GB each are aftermarket ones, but I have no issues with anything when using the computer except when it is waking up and MEMTEST didn't throw me any errors after an overnight pass.

I want to say 2 days ago, my computer has decided to fail when going to sleep. It is Windows 7, completely updated with no problems to that point. When it falls asleep and I wake it up, the machine starts up and is active, but my monitors and external hard drive are never turned on as they once were and the machine just sits there running with a black screen. I restart, boot back into Windows and it says resume (as if it was in hibernation, but I have hybrid sleep on) and I just get a flashing underscore and no more. I restart once again, it says Windows could not restore the session, I start a new session and all is good again... until the computer falls asleep and the process starts over.
I have tried turning off hybrid sleep. No good. I have tried using hibernation instead of sleep. Same error. I found online where someone said they had this problem with an ATI card, but once the upgraded the Catalyst Control Center and drivers, they had no problems. That did no good.
