Maintenance :: Laptop Wakeup From Sleep Reboot
Aug 27, 2013I recently upgraded my laptop, an HP g6-1b60us from Win 7 to Win 8Pro. All works fine, except when the Laptop wakes up from sleep. It has to reboot. Knowing that the HP POwer Manager was not compatible, I had uninstalled it. That still didn't resolve the problem. I finally ran a power efficiency diagnostics report. It's 6pages long, but in the end, different usb items prevent the laptop from entering sleep/suspend state. I only recognize one of them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDebugging :: Windows 8.1 BSOD On Wakeup After Sleep (PFN List Corrupt)
Sep 15, 2014This has been happening for a while but it only ever happens after wake-up from sleep and it's back up again in 5 seconds flat so it's never bothered me too much.
If I catch the error I believe it's PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. Running Windbg on the minidumps gives a range of causes, memory_corruptions, fileinfo.sys, ntkrnlmp.exe
Apparently this is either bad memory or driver. I ran memtester86 for 8 passes and my memory came up clear so I'm thinking bad drivers. I followed the instructions for driver verifier but unfortunately my system will BSOD when booting with DRIVER VERIFIER IO MANAGER VIOLATION error so I have to enter safe mode and disable it.
Brief specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
System Model Z87X-UD3H
Memory 16GB Kingston DDR3
GTX 780 Ti
Windows 8.1 Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600
I have attached 2 minidumps, one is a "regular" BSOD and the other is what I get when booting with driver verifier enabled.
Accounts :: Don't Require Password On Wakeup Not Working
Apr 27, 2014I updated my friend's HP 500-056 computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Update. This is a twin to my HP 500-056 system.
I have the QuickLaunch and Programs toolbars set up on both; the only difference is that she has Classic Shell installed while I don't.
And now to the problem; although I've told the computer not to require a password on wakeup, no matter what I do, her computer won't mind that one instruction.
Auto Sleep Mode Works But Manual Sleep Not?
Apr 25, 2014When I leave my computer after a session, it automatically goes into sleep mode after a period of time and remains that way till I wake it up.
However when I manually put it to sleep ( via shutdown options) , it goes to sleep immediately but for only a while ( a few minutes) then it shows the desktop screen again. If I then leave it alone after it self awake , it goes back to sleep as described above.
Win 8 Goes To Sleep And Won't Wake Up
Apr 18, 2013I try hitting the power button, nothing. I have to restart, it takes a long time to read the hd's in bios, then when it restarts there is no network connection, so I need to restart again.
No real pattern to this, sometimes I leave the machine on all night and no problems, other times just a couple hours and it happens.
I am also using a wireless mouse/kb if that makes a difference.
New Win 8 Installation Won't Automatically Sleep
Nov 7, 2012I have an HTPC that previously had Windows 7 installed. I have it setup to sleep automatically after 3 hours in case we accidentally leave it on. I did a Windows 8 Pro upgrade on top of it, and it ported all of my apps and settings fine.
However, no matter what I do, it won't seem to go to sleep automatically. It works perfectly fine when I do it manually. I've gone into desktop mode and verified nothing is running (nothing open on the taskbar, at least). There is no video app or anything still running that would block sleep.
How can I properly debug what may be blocking it from sleeping? Could it be some glitch where it thinks it's setup to sleep in the power options but in reality it's not?

Nov 19, 2013I have had to do a complete reset of my computer recently and ever since I did that I have not had the option of putting my computer to sleep even after checking all my drivers to see if they are up to date. I am also having a problem where when I turn on my computer It will stay a black screen even though all signs point to it working just nothing shows on the screen. After a complete shutdown by holding the power button and turning it back on it works but doesn't let me get into BIOS.

Turn Off Display Without Going To Sleep?
May 6, 2013Device : Samsung ativ smart pc (or any clover trail tablet)
I can't get the tablet to just to turn off the display without going to sleep which i noticed will kill any active data connection (downloads, video buffering, updates, data logging)
I noticed that the value of "turn display after" in the power options must be the same value as "put computer to sleep after"
After some search on the internet about the "connected standby" and disabling the "desktop activity moderator" by using " sc config dam start=disabled "But i couldn't get it to work

Mar 28, 2013So this isn't a BSOD but it seemed like the right place to post this. When ever I try to put the computer to sleep and then try to wake it up, it sits for a second like it wants to come back but then it reboots instead of waking up. Im really at a loss as what to do as I have never been very good at this debugging sort of thing.
I have included what i believe is all needed info but if you need something else I will get it.

Computer Won't Go To Sleep Plugged In
Feb 8, 2014My laptop won't go to sleep when It's plugged in for some reason, though if I take out the power cable it will sleep. If I have the power cable out, send it to sleep then plug the power cable in this doesn't wake it up.
I've gone into the power option's but I'm not too sure what I can really change to make it work.
I've changed the multimedia setting's to allow the computer to sleep.
I've tried the different power plans - same behaviour.

Windows 8.1.1 Won't Sleep Or Shutdown?
Jun 29, 2014Something changed in the last week or so that has caused the system to sometimes not automatically go to sleep and when it does not go to sleep after the selected time it won't shutdown either. When this happens and I try to shutdown the system it shuts down but then immediately reboots on it's own. This has only happened two or three times in the last week but I never had this issue until recently! It appears like I can either turn off the power via the power supply and restart to make the problem go away or if I manually put it to sleep and wake up it will power down - at least that is what worked the last time this happened. I did install update KB2962409 around the time the problem appeared?

Jan 30, 2013I've been using Windows 8 for almost a month now and it's been great. But, since around 4am today (ICT), this popped out of nowhere: Windows goes to sleep despite the Power Options being set to disable sleep both while on AC power and on battery. I have also checked the Advanced Power Options as well, and it confirmed the settings. I only left the laptop for about half an hour just to come back and found out it has gone to sleep mode, and Event Viewer says the system went to sleep from being idle!! I've included a screenshot as well just to clarify that this isn't a sort of common mistakes.

Gaming :: Low FPS In Games After Getting Out Of Sleep Mode?

Waking From Sleep Reboots System
Feb 27, 2014The following is the best way I can describe whats wrong with my system.
1) Boots up normally, use laptop normally for work, play, nothing is wrong at all
2) Put it to sleep either by power button, right-clicking windows button OR closing lid, and yes, it is Sleep
3) Laptop seems to go to 'sleep' state - the fan sound disappears quite quickly (5 seconds), and the power LED blinks - I've had laptops before and this is very very normal 'sleep' activity so i don't think anything is wrong here
4) 'Wake' laptop by either power button, or opening lid:
- power LED stops blinking and becomes a constant 'on', processor LED starts blinking like normal - at this point it looks like a normal wake
- after about 1-2 seconds, system POWERS DOWN, yes powers down - no sound, hard drive stops, no lights, for about 0.5 seconds
- system boots up again, taking the normal amount of time to power up, from fresh, ie, as if I have just shut down the computer, and started it up again.
5) enter Boot screen
6) sign in to Windows, and all my previous programs, windows, work, will be gone, but otherwise everything will work properly, just like if you started from a fresh boot up
When going to sleep, system will not 'sleep' but just go into a black screen with the power LED 'on' and no processor LED or any other light, fan still moves tho, and there is no way to fix it other than force restart. Fixed by installing latest Intel drivers for GPU
Tested solutions - disabling 'hybrid sleep', saying never hibernate, definitely checked that 'lid' and 'power button' actions are for sleep (not hibernate or anything else), cmd prompt > powercfg -h off, reinstalling all my display drivers to older versions, Windows troubleshooter (selecting power)
Computer Wakes From Sleep Every 15 Minutes
Jul 18, 2014I just got a new Win 8 computer. I love it, however it wakes from sleep mode every 15 minutes on the dot. It will wake for about 2 minutes than sleep again.
Is this something it should do in order to get some air flow every once in a while or can I stop it from doing this? I have searched around online and tried everything i have come across. I turned off the setting that allows programs to wake the computer, as well as made sure the ethernet connection doesn't wake it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFan At Full Speed During Shut Down And Sleep
Jul 12, 2013I recently purchased a new desktop and it came with Windows 8 installed on it. Everything worked fine for the first two weeks. Then, I noticed my fan was running at full speed when I'd come into the room after a while. My desktop was in sleep mode, so I was like, Woke my desktop up and the fan returned to normal. Every time my computer goes into sleep mode, the fan kicks on full blast. Okay... maybe no sleep mode, but the fan will shut off when I shut down my computer, right? Nope again. When my computer is shut down, the fan is still running at full speed. The thing is, when my computer is in sleep mode or shut down, the fan runs at full speed, but when I'm using it (like now) the fan is normal.
I've been looking around trying to find something related to my problem. I've came across a few articles on the forums, like Fans still running after shutdown of windows 8. Seems like my same problem, but it was during his install he shut down Windows. However, there was talk of this "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes", but I don't really want to mess with the my boot.ini files... I'm not bad at small programs, but I really don't want to toy around and destroy my desktop right now.
I've read some other articles about a Windows 8 laptop in idle mode with the same problem, and they said it was antivirus related. I figured that if that were the case, shouldn't have I seen it during the first time I booted up my desktop?
I think I started noticing this problem AFTER I installed some windows updates from Microsoft... Any way to verify that everything went smoothly, I kinda assumed and left my computer running while it was updating...

When I turn it off the same thing happens and sometimes when I'm lucky it will give me an error message .I have download all of the updates for windows 8 which did not solve it and I disabled fast bootup which didn't either I am just wondering if I download 8.1 will it fix it although I installed 8.1 on another laptop and the same thing happened and then I installed just 8 which gave me the same result.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMaintenance :: Cannot Wake Up From Sleep - Reboots
Jan 24, 2013Running Win 8 Pro, 64bit. I recently installed an upgrade of my BIOS. At first it took several tries to boot into Windows. That is now solved. What remains is the fact that when I wakeup the system from sleep, it only displays the pre-login screen (greenish, with the tower). It freezes right there. Thinking this might be a display driver issue, I updated it (Radeon HD 6480G). That didn't fix the problem. On some forum I read about a SAM file. My question is: How does it find it when I reboot, but not when the system goes from sleep to wake up? At any rate, how could that be fixed? Also, I don't know how to revert back to a former version of my BIOS. My laptop has an Insyde board, and it went to version F.48, what ever that means.
