Laptop shuts down after sleep mode, help please!

When I close the lid or press the sleep mode button, my laptop goes into sleep mode and everything is ok. However, when I open the lid or press the power button to awake it... after a few seconds, my laptop shuts down! I just formatted my laptop to the factory settings hoping to fix the issue, but it persists. Please help!

When any problem persists after recovering to factory settings, it's often indicative of a hardware problem.
Please contact support at (800) 457-7777.

G505s Laptop shuts down in sleep mode

Hi,
I recently bought a new G505s laptop running Windows 8.1. When the laptop goes into sleep mode (either on the battery or when plugged in with the lid down) the laptop will shut down completely. It does not even seem like the laptop is going into hibernation since Windows begins from a cold boot when powered on. Oddly, with the power cable plugged in the laptop will not even power back on. I have to remove the cable and power the laptop back on using the battery.
It seems to be a relatively common problem with Win 8.1 and there are various fixes people have suggested. So far I've tried reinstalling & updating AMD drivers, setting the power options to never hibernate and running a script to turn off hibernation.
None of these fixes have worked and the laptop will not stay in sleep for more than 20 minutes before shutting down completely.
I wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem with the same or similar model and whether there are any other fixes people suggest?
Thanks,

Bump

MacPro shuts down in sleep mode

MACPRO 3.1 2x 2.8 Quad core Intel Xeon 8GB Ram ATI Radeon HD 5770 Mac Cinema HD 23 inch OSX 10.6.8.
If I allow or select sleep mode through either keyboard shortcuts or apple menu it immediately shuts down I can keep it running but half asleep (screen at rest ) if I have an app using the internet for example Safari using radio stations ; if however there is no app using the internet then the computer will shut down when sleep mode kicks in.
This seems to be a resent phenomena I have changed the graphics card from a Nvidia since the Nvidia was dying ( occasional freezes and wavy faint blue horizontal lines) although the sleep problem surfaced before swapping cards; I am not sure whether this is a hardware issue or a combined software hardware issue.
Anyone else having similar sleep problems ?
The computer is working fine apart from this one issue.
We are in the midst of summer here so the room temperature is an average of 30˚C at the moment can this have anything to do with the sleep issues?

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans justify an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Powerbook 17" G4 automatically shuts down in sleep mode

Powerbook 17" G4 automatically shuts down in sleep mode intermittently. When press power button to bring it back up, it takes a very long time to reboot and the date is set to Dec 31, 1969. It comes back up finally, but this is irritating.
Thanks for any help,

Hi Reaskt
Have you tried using Temperture Monitor to monitor your temps? Maybe it is overheating. Also it sounds like your backup battery is dead, that's why the clock reset's it's self. If you still have applecare I would give apple a call a soon I could. To me it looks like you would need a new logic board. I realy hope that you have applecare. Also have you tried an Erase and Install? Have you tried running Disk Utility booted from your install CD?
Post back when you get more info

Mac shuts down in sleep mode.

This just started to happen to my mac pro quad intel running the latest SNOW software. My mac shuts down in sleep mode. I tried to zap pram, but it ill not allow me to do this.
I also check the internal battery using a small program and its a full charge. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Tony

godlovestodance,
your Mid 2012 needs 1600 MHz memory modules. Is your currently installed RAM of this variety?
In your current setup, is it your 1 TB HDD or your 256 GB SSD that is in the optical drive bay?
One thing you can try is this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still crash because of an extended sleep?

When running on battery power, my MBP shuts down after 30 mins..please help

this has been happening for the last two weeks; whenever i run my MBP on battery, it goes blank/shuts down after about 30 mins...would start back on, but shut down even before the login screen comes! i checked the battery display under the laptop-it showed 3 green lights!! TIA!! i bought my MBP off the apple website last september!

With your symptoms, most likely, yes. If you have a 17" MBP, you are out of spec (based on Apple's specification of 80% health for 300 cycles). If you have a 15" MBP, you're in spec (84% health), but your symptoms indicate a problem (i.e. a defective battery). So, contact AppleCare!
You can't calibrate now. I asked because if a battery goes too long (150-220 cycles) without calibration, the "sudden loss of power" can result.
Hope this helps...
Graham, that's why I inquired about calibration, but with the OP's cycle count, that's not the issue. Also, FYI the "battery condition" information is part of System Profiler with Leopard; the OP lists Tiger, and did post all the information available under Tiger.

Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop shuts down after about 1 minute

Despite being plugged into AC power, my Lenovo 3000 N100 shuts down after about one minute. It boots properly but suddenly shuts down. I have not used this laptop much since purchasing it in 2006 and have seldom used it on battery power alone. Any suggestions before I buy a new battery? Maybe I am mistaken, but shouldn't the computer work on AC despite a depleted battery?

Hi Charleydog and welcome to the community,
Take the battery out and unplug the ac. Hold the power button down for about 15 seconds. Do it twice. Then plug only the ac in and see if it fires up.

Laptop shut down after plug ac adapter

Computer: HP Pavilion tx1410us
OS: Vista Home Premium 32-bit
In 2009 my laptop shut down. When I turned back on I had black screen, all lights were on except the mute button wireless signal was amber instead of blue.
Recently I sent it to my friend and fixed the previous problem, but now I am having another problem of computer shutting down whenever I connect to AC adapter, that means I can not install anything that needs power originating from AC adapter.
What should I do, HELP plz

Cleaned Fan, Now Laptop Shuts Down After 1 hr.

I own a pavilion dv5 1140tx laptop and for the past few months it has been really overheating and so I decided to open it up and clean the fan. This laptop is really poorly designed since you have to completely dismantle it to get to the fan. Like I had to take out the HDD, Monitor, Mothe Board, Optical Drive, everything!!!
Anyway I cleaned out the fan which had a considerable amount of dust in it (its 3 years old) and then I peiced it back together. After that it seemed that the fan was running a bit more smoothly and there was far less heat coming from the laptop, I turened it on and everything works the same but after about an hour of use it shuts itself down just as it would if it were overheating, but it isn't anywhere near as hot as it used to get.
I set it to a balanced power setting, and changed the BIOS so that the fan isn't constantly running and that seems to have helped it but it still shuts down after a while!
Might it be that the heat sink isn't close enough to the CPU and so the CPU over heats before the heat can disapate into the heatsink? Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Mario,
Before cleaning the fan with an air duster can, I restored the computer to factory settings. It was only after that my laptop started shutting down shortly after start-up. It stopped doing that eventually, but what I did to prevent overheating is I sprayed the fan's underneath the laptop with air from an air duster can to remove any possible dust clogging, thereby causing the fun to work much harder than it normally should, and it seems to be running fine now. I haven't had any problems with start-up, and in fact, when in use, it doesn't make as much noise at is use to. My laptop used to ramp up the fan speed quite often because not enough heat was being expelled from the laptop. Luckily, it doesn't do that anymore.
Doing further research led me to a video called: "Reducing Heat and Fan Noise in Desktop and Notebook PC's" on HP's support page.
If anyone ever does research on the same issue and this post ends up as a result to what you are researching for, than I suggest what Mario said, but also watch the video I referenced above by following this link:

Mac shuts down after 5 minutes Help!!!!

My computer: imac G3, DV Special Edition, 500Mhz, 384 mb ram, 80 gig hard drive
This is an odd one...like many others before me the computer just died one day. it would not start up, no sounds, just dead. A few minutes later I tried to turn it on and it came on, but 5 minutes later, it died.
This is the strange part. I took the plug from the socket and waited a few minutes, then pluged the computer back up. It came on. But only for a few mintes and again shut off.
This time I left the plug in the socket, waited a few minutes and tried again. Nothing.
I then took the plug out waited about 30 minutes and it came back on for about 5 minutes and shut down. It only seems to come on if I let the computer sit idle with the plug out.
I have noticed that the computer does not keep time properly.
What I have done.
1. I have pressed the Cuda Button, and yes it did start up, but only for about 5 minutes.
2. I have tried to reinstall the system hardware, but the computer dies before completion.
Should I replace the battery? What else can be done?
Help!

I have the same problem. I don't have good news, though. I have replaced the battery, pressed the reset button, even replaced the power supply board (not the video board -- which is the only thing I have decided I'm not willing to do). My computer usually shuts down after 5 minutes, but will sometimes stay working fine for a couple of hours. I managed to update the firmware and OS to the very latest, but still it dies. Mine will also occasionally flicker and freeze, which can be restarted by holding down the power button.
I would replace the video board, except the people trying that don't have quite the same problem (theirs don't start up at all), and there is no source I've found that would have new boards, so you would get a bad board, or the same problem eventually. Some people point to a transformer on the video board, but again the symtoms are not quite the same (they smell burt electronics or hear a hissing/crackling sound before it dies.
I have just packed mine away and I'm working on a new G5, but I sure hope the old iMac can be fixed so my kids can use it. I just didn't want you to have to go down the same road just to find nothing helped. Good luck, and if you have any new ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

Help please - occasional shut-down after sleep & kernel panic

Hi all.
I have an intermittent problem here with an iMac 24in 2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo model. This iMac was bought refurbished from the Apple store about 6 weeks ago.
About once a week, after putting the iMac to sleep, I come back to it later to find it has shut down. The only way to restart is to unplug from the wall and then plug in and switch on as normal.
This has happened on three occasions in the last couple of weeks, and by looking in System/Library/Logs/Diagnostic Reports I found what looks like a record of a kernel panic:

Since this last one I have reset the PRAM/NVRAM and updated to OS X 10.6.2. Is this likely to help or is there a more fundamental problem here?
Thanks for any help on this.

HI,
"AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-"
First, try resetting the SMC. (System Management Controller)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
Considering this iMac is well within the one year limited warranty, I'd take it back if resetting the SMC does not work. You should not have to trouble shoot kernel panics whether it's refurbished or not but read here for help to resolve kernel panics... something might help.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
If you have installed any 3rd party software / hardware, uninstall and try using the iMac to see if it's stable.

Flash shuts down after start up screen - please help

I had a strange problem develop yesterday. Whenever I start
Flash 8 the start up screen shows for a moment, then disappears and
the program shuts down and never starts. I ran Ad-Aware, Spybot,
HijackThis and even did a file search by date to see if anything
appeared on my computer that would cause this but I found nothing.
I have Flash MX installed as well and it was doing the same thing
when I tried that. I repair/installed Flash 8 - didn't work, then
uninstalled Flash 8 and installed again and it's still doing the
same thing. I suppose I could uninstall MX too and try again but I
suspect that's not the problem. Any thoughts?

Your capacitors are leaking, this is a known issue with Rev A G5 iMacs, and they should be replaced, along with the logic board. Take it in and if t stays up long enough, try to clone it to an external drive to save your data. I use SuperDuper! to do this.
Let us know how you make out,

Which is better: shutting down, or sleep mode?

Hi Everyone,
What is better for the longevity of my computer . . . shutting it down, or putting it in sleep mode? I use my computer throughout the day, so I guess it makes sense to keep it on sleep mode, right? However, I had problems with my screens on a previous apple laptop and someone mentioned that might be because I was putting it in sleep mode all the time. What should I do? Thanks!!!

There's reason to believe that over the long haul that sleeping is probably better than turning it on and off all the time. But whether you wind up with an extra day, month, or year of use...who knows? More to the point is this: under what circumstances are you unwilling to wait for the computer to restart and log in and under what circumstances are you willing to wait? My answer is simple: I want to open the lid and start using my computer - I don't want to wait 2-3 minutes - and my habit doesn't seem to have hurt longevity much. My old Tangerine iBook is still in use (8 years old now) and my white iBook is also still in use (5 years old) and the current owners of both use them just as I did.

MBP shuts down after sleep when 2% battery left

Sorry guys if u find it irritating to see the similar question again n again but i couldnt stop myself from asking this...
          i have my mbp just 3 weeks old and i tried to callibrate the battery just few hrs ago...i continuously used my mbp until the battery level reached to 2% (the warning message showed when it was 6%)...just then i had to received a phone call. When i was busy talking, i noticed that the mbp has gone to sleep mode...but when i returned (2-3 mins later), i found it shut down...
          well, i think it should have remained to sleep mode but it didnt...then after an hour i connected the power cord and switched on and noticed a progress bar which i saw for the first time....i have been charging it for 40-50 mins, now...
          also the health of my battery keeps fluctuating between 95-100 %...istat shows this...is this normal???
          So what i want to know is, Is this normal for mbp to shut down when the battery reach that low?? OR there is some problem in my MBP???
if there is should i be going to my mbp reseller shop for service or it is something i can handle myself????
thanks in advance..

then how am i supposed to callibrate if it shuts down before completely draining the battery???
and what about the battery health % being fluctuating? my battery have completed only 9 cycles and the health shown at the moment is 97%

Laptop Shuts Down after Turning it On

Hi,
My laptop likes to shut down within 3 seconds of turning it on. The research I have done indicates that the fan is not operating, thereby causing the unit to overheat, but I wanted to see if there were any other reasons why this could be happening.
I restored my computer to factory settings a few days ago, and it only started happening after that.
I tried running a diagnostic by running a "PC Health Check" after pressing F10 on startup, but I didn't have the option to do so.
Apart from trying to do a PC Health Check, there are no errors popping up on start-up.
My laptop is running Windows 7 and it is the Pavilion DV6 model from 2010.
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Mario,
Before cleaning the fan with an air duster can, I restored the computer to factory settings. It was only after that my laptop started shutting down shortly after start-up. It stopped doing that eventually, but what I did to prevent overheating is I sprayed the fan's underneath the laptop with air from an air duster can to remove any possible dust clogging, thereby causing the fun to work much harder than it normally should, and it seems to be running fine now. I haven't had any problems with start-up, and in fact, when in use, it doesn't make as much noise at is use to. My laptop used to ramp up the fan speed quite often because not enough heat was being expelled from the laptop. Luckily, it doesn't do that anymore.
Doing further research led me to a video called: "Reducing Heat and Fan Noise in Desktop and Notebook PC's" on HP's support page.
If anyone ever does research on the same issue and this post ends up as a result to what you are researching for, than I suggest what Mario said, but also watch the video I referenced above by following this link:
