X1 not hibernating

I have the following machine - 1293CTO running win 7 sp 1 and BIOS 8MET27WW (1.27).
I have set it up to hibernate when battery level reaches a certain level or when idle for X minutes.
I have also setup sleep mode to kick in before hibernation.
Sleep mode works OK.
Hibernate does not, either if one of the above events happen or if I manually select hibernate from the start menu.
All that happens is the screen looks to go blank, but when I wiggle the mouse for example the screen wakes up and shows the machine is locked.
Problem is when working on the machine and putting it to sleep say over a weekend, when the battery reaches very low say 5% it tries to hibernate and fails with the battery eventually expiring and windows then complains the machines was not shut down succesfully.
Cheching the error logs when manually entering hiberantion it complains of event id 45 unable to load crash dump.
Looking at technet it says to just check that the dump file is set correctly which in my case is "%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP"
I have also followed the tips from this post http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X1-does-not-hibernate/td-p/504339 but had no luck.
If I run powercfg -lastwake I get count = 0
I ran Think Vantage System update to make sure all drivers are up to date and they are, also windows update.
Software wise it is no different to the X300 I was using, infact it has less software, and hibernation is working fine, ditto T6x and T4X series.
I am stuck now what to do. Perhaps the page file is too small? Currently windows is managing it. (3.5GB)

  • My laptop is Not Hibernating

    I have Toshiba Satellite C660-l5012 running on windows 7 ultimate 32bit 
    Its not hibernating after installing drivers of some device ( I cant figure out the device exactly )
    it can go to sleep mode without any problem now, 
    but before reinstalling windows 7 it was unable to sleep or hibernate .. 

    As you know, Hibernation takes the current open applications and settings and saves it all to the hard drive prior to shutting down the computer. A number of things can prevent this from happening. One, other applications that will kick in about the same time like the Screen Saver or Sleep Mode. Hardware can also cause problems, like external hard drives and network devices. Also some software, like drivers, can be a problem too.
    In your case, time to do more troubleshooting. I would disconnect everything that is external hardware except the power cord. Disable both the Screen Saver and the Sleep Mode. Check Device Manager and see if there is anything with a conflict or anything that did not come with the original out-of-the-factory build. Open up the Task Manager and see what Applications that you are running. Some application may not be closing properly which is causing the Hibernation mode not to run. For testing purposes, close all of the applications and see if you can get into Hibernation.

  • HP530 not hibernating when USB WLAN stick plugged in, works unplugged.

    This problem came up when the laptop's builtin wlan card didn't connect to our wlan because of the 13 byte key (5 byte key worked fine but my dad wants to use the 13 byte key). I tried using an external USB wlan stick which connected fine to our network. However hibernating doesn't work when the stick is plugged in. I have tried s2disk and pm-hibernate, both fail. I have also tried two different wlan sticks, hibernation fails with both.
    Buffalo Airstation Wireless-G:
    Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0411:00da MelCo., Inc. WLI-U2-KG54L
    A-Link WL64USB:
    Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS WLA-54L WiFi
    Here is how the hibernation fails. Screen goes black except a white cursor blinking in the corner. The login prompts in consoles remain active and I can change consoles with CTRL-ALT-F1 etc. Login prompts don't take keystrokes though.
    However, hibernation does work when the sticks are not connected.
    This isn't a really big problem but trying to remember plugging/unplugging the stick is quite annoying.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    P.S. I will post more after I get the logs and some other info.

    It is kind of stupid.

  • MacBook Pro with Retina Display not hibernating

    My MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display doesn't always hibernate when I shut it. A couple of times I've left it shut overnight and when I grab it in the morning the battery is completely drained. All my energy preferences are set to conserve power. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

  • Systemd hybrid-sleep not working

    Hi!
    Today i finally tried out (only for curiosity) hybrid-sleep, and i discovered it is not working.
    I'm not using testing repo. So, systemd 196 should be able to hybrid-sleep.
    First problem: i need to put my password to hybrid-sleep, while for suspend and hibernate that is not necessary.
    Second problem: as far as i understand, hybrid-sleep should be a normal suspend, but in background the netbook should suspend to disk too, in event of lack of energy. Is this correct? Well, on my netbook, it only hibernates, as if i did a "systemctl hibernate".
    journalctl
    dic 02 18:48:33 arch systemd-sleep[4421]: Hibernating and suspending system...
    dic 02 18:49:09 arch systemd-sleep[4421]: System thawed.
    But it is not "hibernating and suspending", it is only hibernated.
    By the way, i'm not using pm-utils.
    Any hint?
    Thanks!

    I can reproduce this behaviour with systemd-196-2. systemctl hybrid-sleep just hibernates and powers off. Further investigation of this issue brought the following issues:
    systemctl suspend works as expected.
    systemctl hibernate works also.
    Disabling hibernation (by disabling the swap and resume partition) leads to suspend to ram with the hybrid-sleep command.
    Circumventing systemd does the job and correctly hibernates AND suspends:
    echo suspend > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
    So I guess the kernel part of hybrid-sleep and the hardware work correctly and somehow the systemd-hybrid-sleep.service does not work. The service file has the line:
    ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sleep hybrid-sleep
    which seems to be the relevant command.

  • Gnome-power-manager 2.26 does not suspend on idle

    I got a problem with gnome-power-manager 2.26 (several Versions 2.26.0 2.26.1 2.26.2 (original PKGBUILD)). I can suspend from the applet menu. It does hibernate on critical bat level, but i does not suspend on idle, regardless what timeout values I set in screensaver and gnome-power-manager. Display sleep seems to work though. First I thought, this might be only an issue on my particular notebook, as I could not find anything on google about this, but it is the same behavior on my freshly installed desktop system.
    gnome-power-manager --verbose outputs nothing about going to standby.
    I built gnome-power-manager and gnome-screensaver from 2.24 and they do work porperly, except the notebook will not hibernating on crit bat level.
    Hardware:
    Notebook: HP Pavilion dv3550eg (centrino2 - Nvidia 9300M GS)
    Desktop: GB AMD 790XT, Phenom 720, Nvidia GTX 260
    Software:

    Might this be an Policy issue? Nevertheless if anyone out there has has this problem, let me know and i am goning to file a bug report.

  • My 5Th Gen iPod (video) never hibernates nor turns off, not even manually.

    I have a 5th Gen 30GB iPod (video) (2006-May). Last one year I used it without any trouble.
    Very recently it started behaving wired. First I noticed this, when I found the battery gets drained out overnight everyday. Then I figured out that my iPod is not hibernating as it used to do, when not used for long. Then I tried to turn it off manually. I pressed and hold the play/pause button for more than 2 min, couple of times (as described in manual to turn off) with no results. I am using latest software both for iPod and iTune, also tried resetting it, wiping out all music and video, but no change in its behavior. My iPod simply refuses to shut down or turn off or hibernate; only when battery gets excused the screen gets blank after draining out all the battery. Apart form that everything works fine, it pays all music and video without any problem after a recharge, of course the charge does not exist more than couple of hours.
    Please help if anyone know the reason and/or fix for this problem.
    Dell-6000   Windows XP Pro   iPod - 5th Gen, 30GB, video, black. Used in Win-XP Pro

    How to reformat specifically to Windows FAT32? I get only one button "Restore" in the iTunes summery tab when I connect the iPod. After clicking the button it gives me a yes/no option. On yes it goes ahead with the restore operation with progress bar etc.
    The problem is, in the connected mode it behaves correctly and turns off momentarily by pressing and holding play/pause button, but comes back with the charging/charged logo. Which is normal. Now at this point if I disconnect, the screen gets white for some time and then turns off.
    But when not connected through the USP port (i.e. with the battery only mode) it refuses to turn off, even if I press and hold the play/pause button, also does not hibernate as it used to do previously.

  • How to configure sngle-disk RAID?

    970a-G46, bios 1.11, and would like to know if anyone else is having trouble configuring a single boot disk for RAID.  Along with my twin 500GB RAID 0 & two 320GB RAID 0 drives for applications and data I thought I was OK.  My last MSI mobo included an on board Promise RAID controller in addition to the board's standard IDE controller, so C:\was IDE and the rest of my partitions were RAID 0 for, as I mentioned, my applications and data.  I lost a RAID 0 drive on the old motherboard but I was able to configure the single remaining RAID drive as a JBOD *single* drive under the RAID array (certainly not RAID 0...)--and the drive ran fine as "JBOD RAID."  It was there and attached to the RAID bus and configured as a RAID drive but instead was merely labeled a stand-alone JBOD RAID--functioning exactly like a standard single IDE drive.
    It doesn't appear as if the G46 drive controller supports JBOD RAID as a single drive, so I'm guessing that if I want to ,say, use a normal IDE single drive to boot and access the rest of my data from RAID 0 drives, or if I want to boot with a single JBOD RAID disk to access my normal RAID 0 drives--that I can't do any of that with the 970a-G46 without purchasing a separate internal PCI/e RAID 0 controller. 
    I had hoped that with the G46 I could use one drive to boot (either IDE or JBOD RAID) while all my other drives would be configured to RAID 0.  Consensus is that I just need to pick up a separate disk controller, either IDE or RAID (if it supports single-disk RAID--might as well have IDE in that case, right?), to use along side the current G46 Integrated IDE/AHCI/RAID controller.  Right?...  (Just want to make sure!)  Suggestion?
    From a dead, cold-boot state after having been turned off all night (not hybrid sleep, not sleep & not hibernation--off as in off), my current fairly slow IDE boot partition boots to a Win8x64  desktop in ~10-12 seconds...!  Takes 2-3 secs for a sleeping Win8 to wake up.  Don't need a RAID 0 boot drive for sheer boot speed anymore--and sure don't need the extra hassles of maintaining a Windows Boot partition in RAID format!
     

    I'm trying to do this same thing. I currently have 3 drivers setup in RAID 5 and just left my boot drive alone, didn't assign it to a RAID array or anything in the RAID controller setup. I see the drives as you would expect after loading the RAID driver during Windows install but get an 0x80300001 error saying that I can't install the OS to this location. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here.

  • What exactly iPhone 2 Button Reset DO ?

    Well,
    Question is obvious in the topic. I really wonder what exactly restarting the phone using 2 buttons (home + power) ? What's the difference between using power button + slide to reset ?

    Slide to turn off is like putting a laptop into hibernation.
    What is in memory gets saved out so when you turn it back on it reloads where it was.
    IF there was a memory leak in some program causing issues, then that would be loaded right back if you just powered off then on.
    This is not correct.
    It's not hibernation; neither process state nor memory state is saved. When you "slide to turn off" it flushes the cashes, closes open files and performs other shutdown tasks then completely powers off. RAM is cleared, and when you restart no programs are restored/reloaded. You can verify this by running any process monitoring app after you power back on - everything is restarted.
    It's like hitting "shutdown" on your computer.
    The difference is that the reset (hold sleep and home for 10 secs) does not run shutdown routines, close buffers, flush the caches, etc. or call shutdown. It just powers off the device spontaneously. It's like pulling the power plug on your computer while it's running. It's not a good idea to do this regularly.
    It's best to "slide to power off" to power off/restart your phone, or when you encounter sluggish behavior, etc. Only hold both buttons to reset it if it's hung up badly enough that you cannot "slide to power off". This can happen if the OS in memory is corrupted badly enough.

  • Sleep script

    I'm trying to make a 'deepsleep' script that puts my computer to hibernate, but puts the sleep settings back to sleep only after hibernating (so I can just close my laptop for sleep only, without having to change the configuration).
    I constructed a script to achieve this, and for just a moment I considered myself a genius:
    *do shell script "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1"*
    *tell application "System Events" to sleep*
    *do shell script "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0"*
    I have to add that I fiddled with my configuration so that I don't have to give my root password for executing these commands.
    My moment of genius was only short. This works perfectly when running it from the scripteditor, but does not work as soon as I save the script and try to run it from Spotlight (and that was my ultimate goal). Not working means that my script is executed, but it goes into sleep only, not hibernation as expected. It seems like the last line of the script is executed before the system goes to sleep. It also takes a very long time between the screen going blank and the actual sleeping (also for sleep only), which is not the case in the script editor.
    Two questions:
    1. Why is there a difference between running a script from the script editor and SpotLight, and what are these differences?
    2. Any suggestions on how to make it work?
    If you need more on configuration to answer this question, I will be happy to provide it.

  • My 4gb nano wont show up on itunes when i plug it in

    I have a Toshiba lab top, it has worked before. And today when i tried to charge it, it took 6 hours to charge, and the computer was not hibernating ect...it still will not fully charge. I have plugged it into all of the 4 USB connections. But still when I plug it in and I pull up iTunes myself the devices column doesn't show up, which means I can't add new music pictures etc... I have tried all of the 5 r's. Can anyone help me????????

    I could not get my iPod nano (3rd gen) to show up as a device in iTunes when I used my USB 2.0 port. My computer recognizes the hardware as an iPod but says the hardware may not have been installed properly and may not work. However, my 2nd gen iPod nano works just fine when connected to this very same 2.0 port using the same cable. My 3rd generation iPod nano will work and show up in iTunes if I connect it to the slower USB 1.1 port on the same computer. The 2nd gen iPod will work fine from either USB port. I suspect the USB 2.0 driver may need to be updated. But I have seen nothing that this is known problem.

  • Short Clicking noise when resuming pc after it has been idle

    This isn't really a problem just something that is annoying me. When going to my pc after it has been sitting idle, (not hibernating nor do I have the hardisks turnoff ever) I notice a one time short clicking noise from the box. To me it sounds like some extra voltage is being sent somewhere. It has never caused a problem and my rig is and has been stable since I built it. I did have a cheapo powersupply blow up on me so I've kinda been tuned in to that. Anyone know what I'm referring to? Thanks.

    It is a non issue really...I've had alot of machines do this...it is the HD that's doing it and some of them I've seen *especially the older drives* did it all the time...they have a spot that they rest the heads at and when you're away from the machine it parks it there...then it sets a safety level on it and when you come back it doesn't always wait for the safety lever to unegage and that is the click you hear...I don't know if they still do this or not but that click is common...
    Sometimes tho that click, to me, means that the drive is on its way out...but that hasn't been the norm...

  • ThinkPad E455 Excessive Battery Drains When Power Off

    I bought a new ThinkPad E455 two months ago with AMD processor and I use Windows 7 (64-bit) as my operating system. The problem is, since a week ago, when I turn off my laptop (completely shut-down, not hibernating nor sleeping), the battery looses 14% in less than 24 hours. This problem has never happened before. When I search for solution, apparently my problem is similar to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/E535-High-battery-drain-when-laptop-is-powered-off/ta-p/1249897 and https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/E530-Battery-drains-and-power-manager-issue/ta-p/1249887 and https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/E440-battery-drains-when-powered-off/m-p/1527086/highlight/true#M18743. It appears that the power drains happened in other type of ThinkPad as well. Moreover, it seems that this problem is not limited to ThinkPad series (e.g: http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2324931/laptop-battery-drains-powered-shutdown.html), and more surprisingly, some of other brands experience this condition as well. My question is, what causes the power drain? I mean, the laptop just worked fine for a period of time (in my case it is two months), if it was trigerred by something, what is it? I looked for the technical updating BIOS solution in http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht077068, but unfortunately the series E455 is not in the list. Of course, updating the BIOS using incompatible version is not recommended by the technical support. Please help me.

    See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface When you think the laptop is powered off it's actually in ACPI Power State S5 with power being supplied to the power button and some of the USB sockets. So, when you shut down the laptop and then removed the power cord, if the BIOS version was lower than 1.13, the laptop was still draining the battery.I followed your suggestion, and it seems solving the problem, thank you. However, another problem arises just recently. When I was playing a game on my laptop, the battery capacity is decreasing when the AC power connected (as described by both lenovo and Windows battery gauge). I post this problem in https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/ThinkPad-E455-Battery-Capacity-Reduced-When-Connected-to-AC/td-p/2106218. Oddly, the problem (seems) does not occur when I quit the game to windows. Why was this happen?

  • CMacbook Pro mid 2012 won't hibernate

    Hi!
    I've noticed my macbook pro mid 2012, non-retina, is not hibernating when I stored it on a nice little sleeve.
    I didn't want to worry about turning it off, I just wanted to close the lid and if I didn't open it after 1 hour, it should hibernate to save power.
    Here's my pmset:
    What's going on? What am I doing wrong?
    Is it because I set my SSD to never sleep, on power management?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    Paste into the window of another application.
    Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
