1) Sleep and Hibernate Problem, 2) Laptop sometimes doesn't boot in G560 (Intel P6200)

hello everyone,
i am using lenovo g560 laptop from past 2-3 years without any problems..
now i am having some issues with my laptop and i have some questions as well..
First,
whenever i try to wake the laptop from sleep, fan starts and all LEDs responds as well..but there is nothing on the screen..it's just shows nothing..!!
it doesn't even shows black screen..
Second,
sometimes, my laptop gets crashed (don't know if it is called crashed or what, don't know exact word to explain)
laptop shows no responce to anything...no response to touchpad..cursor doesn't move at all..
no response to keyboard..
screen just hangs there..nothing works..
fan keeps running like normal..
i had to remove battery and reboot laptop to make my laptop work..!!
Third,
well this problem is i think connected to second problem..
whenever my laptop crashes (as explained in second problem), and i reboot it. sometimes it doesn't boot..
all leds turns on, fan starts and laptop turns off !!
and when i try to boot the laptop after some time (say 15-25 mins), it boots without any problem..
please give me solution of my problems..
first i thought, the second problem is occuring due to overheating..
but i have cleaned the cooling fan and removed the dust from it..
normally temperature remains between 50-55 degre celcius..!!
is that normal?
is it the problem with lid ?
please give some solution..

Sleep and Hibernate problems

Hi,
Been using Win7-64bit dual-booted for a while now. Sleep on it has been problematic for a while but I did have it all working fine. Since the update to bootcamp 3.2 though, I can't get it to Sleep or Hibernate.
When I try, the screen goes dark, but the Hard Disk stays on and the system never 'sleeps'.
My only option at that point is to hard-power-off. When windows then resumes it complains it wasn't shutdown properly.
I've posted onto an MS forum, who said I should really try here. Based on their feedback and my gut I suspect its some driver thats causing the problem.
I've tried closing down any apps I can see running that might cause it (BBC iPlayer, Skype, Live, etc), but still no good.
Theres nothing in the event logs of any issues.
I've tried updating the Nvidia drivers to the latest from them - no difference.
Anyone have any ideas how to debug it ?
I could try dropping back to 3.1, but I'd rather find out the cause.

I'm using WindowsXP Pro on my 2008 Macbook Pro (Mac Side had no sleep issues), but perhaps there's a similar culprit since I solved my standby issues here using the debugger tools from Microsoft. It was giving me a blue screen of death crash every time I would attempt to wake from sleep. I updated by video drivers but still no joy. I used the debugging tools (PITA, but useful) and it pointed squarely at my 1394 Firewire driver as the culprit. Apparently, Microsoft's Firewire drivers suck. Texas Instruments (the supplier for Apple's FW chips) recommended Unibrain (at Unibrain.com) drivers for their chipset (they're FREE drivers, btw). Unibrain claims to be 100% compliant, even under XP and runs at full FW800 speeds, etc. I don't know about that one way or another, but what I do know is as soon as I installed their FW driver and rebooted, my machine would now work PERFECTLY in Standby mode. I imagine FW devices would work right now as well (many have reported crashes or slowness when trying to use them in Windows; I only use FW in OSX so I never tried them out in Windows and hadn't even used Windows until my recent trip (boredeom and wanted to play some old Windows games from Steam).
Anyway, the Unibrain drivers are for XP, Vista and Windows7, so it's not impossible that it's also causing issues in Vista or Win7 as well, even if the behaviors are slightly different. The debugging tools would tell you for sure, but it's easier to try out the replacement drivers (you can always drop back to previous drivers if you don't like them). I'd be curious to know if the drivers solve standby issues in Win7 as I'll be putting that on my next Mac.

I got my iPhone 5 s almost a month ago and updated its iOS but from there on I started having problems, the ph sometimes doesn't respond at all to the touch or apps start to open on their own very rapidly and this continues till it can go no further!

First steps in troubleshooting:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Sleep and Hibernate does not work after BIOS update X1 Carbon 20A8

As subject title, did a recent Lenovo "System Update" on BIOS and other drivers, and since then sleep and hibernate no longer works, when i close the lid, it turns on by itself after 2 seconds.
When i select Sleep or Hibernate in Windows 8.1 with lid open, it just behaves like a Restart command.
Need this fixed! Any ideas?

Try downgrading to your older BIOS and see if it works again.

Windows explorer + other windows applications crashing regularly at resume from sleep and hibernate

Good evening,
I have a Thinkpad W510 (4319-29G) running Windows 7 Pro 64bit. The system is loaded with the latest software and drives from Lenovo including BIOS 6NET74WW (1.34), upgrade was done Dec 7th (windows update performed Dec 15th).
The machine has
- 8Gb RAM
- nVidia Quadro FX880M, driver version is 8.17.12.5896, 7-9-2010 and video card BIOS is 70.16.5f.0.b
- dual harddrives,
- one Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb (ST95005620AS) FW rev SD23 in the main location with C: and some other partitions
- one Hitatchi 320 Gb (HTS723232L9SA60) FW rev FC4ZC50B in the bay.

- Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection, driver version 11.5.10.1030, 7-22-2010
Recently I have experienced crashes of multiple windows components at resume from sleep and hibernate.
It seems to happen when swithing location (from work to home) and thus switching from docking station with wired network connection to no dock and wireless network connection (dont know if this has any bearing but anyway).
In the event viewer I typically have some 6-12 application errors logged. Sample output from event viewer is:

It seems that a module "nview64.dll" is always the first application to crash. I suspect this has something with graphics to do.
I dont know if this event triggers the following crashes or if it is so that the display is initialized before the other programs.
After all crash diagnostic messages have been shown windows explorer restarts and also other applications restart but a lot of system tools in the system tray are gone so a cold start is needed to restore all tools again.
I really would appreciate any help and suggestions how to fix this really annoying issue.
Thanks, Anton

I had a similar issue, as soon as a described even a little bit of it to warrenty support they sent someone to swap the board
It seems thats the only fix, its been fine since

Hypervisor disables Sleep and Hibernate on Windows Server 2012R2! Why? How to solve?

Hi,
according to the official documentation of Microsoft, Hyper-V does not block Sleep and Hibernate on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
From powercfg I get the following output:
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S1)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
Hypervisor
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
Hypervisor
Standby (S3)
An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
Hypervisor
Hibernate
An internal system component has disabled hibernation.
Hypervisor
Standby (Connected)
The hypervisor does not support this standby state.
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Hybrid Sleep
Standby (S3) is not available.
Hibernation is not available.
The hypervisor does not support this standby state.
Fast Startup
Hibernation is not available.I already installed a graphics device driver to prevent the graphics device from blocking Sleep and Hyper-V. So this should not be an issue. What can I do to enable Sleep and Hibernate?Regards,Daniel

personally... I'd just...
That's what I'm zeroing in on. I'm sure that whatever you and Mark do in your environments makes perfect sense in those environments. But, those are two environments out of millions. For my "personally", I'd like to do whatever I can to prevent these forums
from becoming a place where someone doing things differently is intimidated out of posting further, by telling them things like "that's not what you want" without really knowing what it is they want. I know of at least one popular tech forum like that, and
it's now dominated by halfmins who are revered for their post count, not because they know anything. I'm not trying to say that's what either of you are trying to do or that you're not both perfectly capable experts. It's just that there are certain behaviors
I think we should all rise above on these forums.
I maintain that the real issue here is that, as the OP points it, it's advertised to work, therefore it should work. Workarounds and alternate solutions are nice, and I don't think anyone is complaining about them just being presented, but ultimately they're
not the point.
I understand your position about just shutting it down and I'm sure that's valid in the situations you encounter. What happens to me is that I'm hammering on some code for CoreFig in my Win7 box while testing on a Hyper-V Server in the background. The phone
rings, I get distracted, and six days later, I still have a Hyper-V Server running full-bore that I'm doing absolutely nothing with. It has to be on a physical machine because I can load Hyper-V Server in a VM, but I can't put active VMs on it. It has to be
on Hyper-V Server and not Client Hyper-V because A) it's meant for Server and uses features only found on Server and B) I tell end users that it was tested on Server and being truthful is sort of my thing. So, I think I have a valid use case for sleep. I have
to assume there are any number of others out there.

T510 Sleep vs Hibernate Problem

Hello,
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on my T510. I've updated all software and everything seems to be working except for the sleep function. I've checked the settings in the ThinkVantage power manager and in Windows itself, and all seems to be in order, except that when I close the laptop's lid (or even select "sleep" from the Start menu options) the computer will sleep for a minute or two, with the moon LED indicator light on, and then go into hibernation. This happens every time I try to put the computer to sleep. I can't seem to find anyone online who's experienced this problem--any suggestions? Thanks!

hey ep251,
could you uninstall the power manager software and then try to sleep and also hibernate your unit. see if the same error occurs.
also try to just start your your unit, do not open any application and just sleep / hibernate. does the problem occur even if you didnt launch any program ?

Windows 10 Sleep and Hibernate with HP Spectre

Hello After upgrading to Windows 10 my HP Spectre x360 the sleep option in the laptop is not working properly, and while in sleep mode, it is still consuming power, and heating up. Also the power options in Windows 10 is not all enabled (the advanced power options), specially that it does not allow password after sleep (which hinders the security of the device)This was not happening with Windows 8.1 .. Is this issue reported with someone else ? Is it a Windows issue, or a driver issue? Thanks

The MYTH that Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 drivers would automatically work is rubbish! See here, lots of others have the same problem! http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-10-Laptop-won-t-go-into-sleep-mode/m-p/5182793/highlight/false#M305085 The only fix is to revert back to your old system!

A305 - Sleep and Charge problems

I have a 2 week old Toshiba A305 satellite laptop.
Ever since I bought it from bestbuy, I could not get the sleep and charge feature to work. I am trying to charge a Blackberry Pearl (cell phone) or a Sidekick LX (cell phone). I tried it when the laptop was in sleep and even when shutdown. Neither has worked.
I have already tried reading the PDF file about sleep and charge found here:
http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/productcontents/tecra/PTM91C-TG109C/HAN-GM9024708110_E.pdf
Still does not work.
I also tried changing the USB Sleep and charge mode between mode 1 and 2 and neither mode will fix it.
Can anybody help?

Satellite A305-S6905
I could not get the sleep and charge feature to work.
That may be a setting in the BIOS. Check it out.
Otherwise, upgrade the BIOS.

PC sometimes doesn't boot

Hi, I have a PC problem which isn't really a big deal, but I thought I'd find out if there was an easy fix. My PC sometimes wont POST (although power led comes on)from a cold boot (probably 1 in 5 times), but then switching off and on again usually fixes the problem (if not, a second switch off/on fixes it). I upgraded my PSU from the Aopen 300W to a Codegen 400W but the problem still surfaces (although less frequently), and it's only started doing this since I added the GF4 video card. Presumably it's not getting enough power from cold boot, but I don't have any other cards in the PC than the GF4, and it only has standard psu & cpu & video fans. Do I have to go higher than a 400W psu? Could it be other devices that draw power but not power directly from my PC? (ie. zipdrive, monitor, speakers, printer, etc). Oh, and I don't O/C.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks.
My PC specs are below:
MSI K7N420 Pro Bios 2.4
AMD 1600+ XP
Triplex GF4 Ti4200
Hyundai 2x256mb PC2100
IBM 60GXP
Codegen 400 watt PSU

johnny5,
I have seen this problem with RAM that works when booted but when you reboot it will not post. You have to turn it off and on again. It is a simple fix, but will require new RAM.
I hate to burst your bubble, I do not think this is a memory problem, nor a power issue... for I too have the exact same problem with my system. Now Jhonny5 states that this has only started whence he put the geforce 4 in. So, if it was the memory do you not think that it would occur with or without the geforce 4??
As for my system I thought it was power at first, but even with my enermax 431 watt psu (which has more than 200w of combined power). I still get this random no boot.
I do believe that there is some bios/chipset issue here that really needs to be addressed.
So Jhonny just so you know, you are not alone on this issue.

Battery, Power, Deep Sleep and Spotlight problems after 10.9.4 update

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 13in (Late 2011). I updated to the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.4) and iTunes on Sunday, right after that my macbook started to goes into Deep Sleep after closing the lid, even when the battery was 80% of charge. My battery normally lasts for almost 5 hours. After it went to deep sleep, the power bottom does not respond. Also, I have noticed that spotlight process in Monitor was consuming so huge amount of resources. This problem persists in Boot Camp. There is no way to turn the machine up without plugging it to the power cord. Sometimes it charges the battery as usual, sometimes it does not recognize the battery. Suddenly, the mac goes into sleep mode while I'm using it.
I have researching and troubleshooting in order to fix this but no solution. I have reset the PRAM and SMC. I made a backup of my files and installed Mavericks from the ground with external storage in order to erase the entire disk, no solution. I made an Internet Recovery and downgraded it to Lion, it worked for 2 hours and then I upgraded again to Mavericks (10.9.0) and the same problem came again, the upgraded to 10.9.4 and no solution at all.
I have searched on internet and there are other people experiencing this problem but nobody is able to bring a valid solution.

T61p, Vista and hibernate problems

There are some other threads on the issue, but I didn't see anyone with the exact same problem.
The basics; T61p (6457-5gg) with Windows Vista Ultimate. Latest BIOS and drivers.
- The sleep-function in Vista ain't possible to use at all.
- When i choose to hibernate, the systems goes into hibernation, and then wakes up again. I put the system into hibernation and put the pc in my bag. Took it up a couple of hours later and it was extremly hot. It was really uncomfortable to touch the system. Battery had been completly drained.
- BIOS-settings should be ok. The option for waking to do scheduled tasks is disabled.
Suggestions? I was thinking about a complete reinstall of the system to see what happens then, but I was hoping for a 2 minute fix instead of a days work :-|
* W520 4284-49G (Upgrades: 256GB Corsair Performance Pro & 256GB OCZ Octane) * T61p (Upgrades: 128GB OCZ Vertex, Wi-Fi Link 6300)

Hi,
I am having the same issue on my T60 on Windows XP.
I have had major issues with Standby and Hibernation from the beginning (less with Hibernation, so I use that more), but I have had weird issues where hibernating the system while plugged into AC power and waking it up while on battery will cause all kinds of issues to the point where the system will nearly freeze and cannot be shut down normally (this I can reproduce any time).
A friend told me there was a BIOS update that had been released recently - guess what: Since I installed that, I am getting freezes after a fresh reboot within minutes - my external USB mouse will stop working first, then the Start menu button and the content will start losing text (only the icons will show), and at some point it will no longer do anything.
But today all of a sudden out of the blue after showing these signs, I get the mentioned blue screen:
0x000000A0
Internal_power_error
(0x00000101, 0x00000007, 0xBA50507420, 0x00000000)
There appears to be a hotfix for Vista that you can request from Microsoft, but nothing for XP.
I would really like Lenovo to look into this as I am fairly certain there is something in their power management drivers and software that is causing this.
Does anyone have a paid support plan with Lenovo and can ask them about this?

More iMac sleep and overheating problems - any ideas?

My iMac is about 2.5 years old now. It was working fine until the power supply had problems and was replaced under warranty. It then had could not mount DVDs or CDs and that was replaced under warranty, at the same time it was performing really, really slow, and then give me the spinning beachball for few hours straight before I had to turn off the machine by holding down the power button. The technician ignored that problem and I got my computer back partially fixed; the DVD drive was replaced and in his limited testing the computer did not lock up so he returned it to me.
After a few days of use I then took the computer back again and he agreed the motherboard had to be replaced.
While waiting for the motherboard to be replaced, I had extraordinary faith that my computer would come back in perfect working order: I ordered Leopard.
Before upgrading to Leopard I decided to back everything up using SuperDuper so I could restore if I had problems with the upgrade. As a new father I have tons of photos and my son's iWeb page that I could not risk losing. My previous hardware issues made me act more prudently; I was lucky to have done that.
Unfortunately the old motherboard was replaced with one that had more problems; after a few days of light use I upgraded to Leopard and was greeted with immediate kernel panics (grey screen of death). I restored from SuperDuper backup and tried again: same problem.
Since I have lots of stuff on my system I decided to do a clean install: problem solved. I then started importing and consolidating my iPhoto libraries from my old G4 tower and my old "backup" system. The machine would overheat go to sleep after only importing a few photos or give me the spinning beach ball while typing in mail (when it was the only program open).
After researching the situation one the internet I realized that many people have similar problems and I ended up installing "Temperature Monitor" to find out the temperature of my computer. The reported temperature of my computer is regularly hovering between 76 C - 85 C (169F - 185F). If the machine is idle the temperature is still very warm at 64 C (147F). I reset the SMU but that did not have an effect. I then found out the diagnostic test of the 4th LED that would turn on if the machine detected a heating problem. This test is intrinsically flawed since it can only be done with the case open so the heat can easily escape to the room (note both fans do work).
I then took the machine in to serviced again. The problem would be easily solved if I lived in the United States or Canada, but I live in El Salvador. The only Apple Certified Technician (at least for warranty repairs that I know of) may be a little tired of trying to fix my computer (I can sympathize with him as I am tired of having it needing to be fixed).
I dropped off the machine and 2 weeks later (I have learned to be patient for parts to come to this country) I called for an update. It turns out my computer is "fine". I went to pick it up and he performed the 4th LED test in an air conditioned room (with an open case obviously), copied a few files, opened some problems and it worked fine in his limited testing in an air conditioned building. He also said Leopard may have caused some problems.
I have no faith in that computer right now so everything I do is on my 8 year old G4 "Gigabit Ethernet" tower. I have upgraded the CPU twice from 400 MHz to 800 MHz and then to 1.3 GHz over the years and put in 768 Mb of ram (as an aside I just ordered 512 Mb more ram as it is now my primary computer to edit video).
I have videotaped the computer acting incredibly unresponsive and slow and am exporting it (currently 277 more minutes for 15 minute video) and overheating. It did not "sleep" when I had chance to tape it, may try again later (currently restoring 10.4.11 backup on iMac so technician cannot blame a clean install of Leopard).
I called AppleCare and they were supportive with my problems and I hope to take in the computer again soon.
Exasperated in El Salvador . . .

Strongly suggest that you contact/call Customer Relations.
Relay to them what you stated in your post. With all those repairs, you may be entitled to a new iMac.
Sorry, I do not know the phone number of Customer Relations in your country. You may need to contact AppleCare & ask firmly & politely to be transferred to CR.
Good luck!

Macbook Pro -- sleep and wakeup problems

If I fold the screen down when leaving my Macbook pro 8,1 (ML 8.1) and then open it again within a few minutes, it will not "wake up". If I continuously open and close it, the small LED on the front goes bright when I close it and dim when I open it. If I leave it closed for several minutes, it will usually wake up on opening, but not always. This particular Mac did the same thing under 10.7 and 10.6. I've heard of the same problem from others, and I have the same problem on a Macbook 2,1, although it is less frequent on that sysem. This does not happen on my iMac or Mini.
Sleep also did not work properly on a G5 from 2005, and I was told by Apple technicians at the time that Apple "broke" sleep around then, and never got it working properly again.
So I'm not expecting a fix, but has anyone found a reliable workaround, other than leaving the system in "sleep" mode for several minutes?

In regards to the trackpsd, read this Apple support article:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203171
Open up the MBP and inspect the battery. It resides under the trackpad and if it has expanded, it will interfere with the trackpad,, If that is the case, replace the battery.
Also a very thorough cleaning of the trackpad will restore functionality.
In regards to the other issue, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.
Ciao.

Interesting Sleep and Wake problem

For about a month I have found that the Macbook pro (2008) Osx10.7 doesn't seem to sleep when the cover closed with the power cord attached. The sleep light doesn't pulsate and it remains warm. When i open it up the log in screen flashes on, then the screen goes dark and I can't log in. I found myself doing forced restarts - then i disconnected the power cord and the log in screen magically reappeared.
It seems I need to disconnect the power cord wehn closing the lid, and if I forget to do that I need to disconnect when reopening the lid in order to log in.
I have tried resetting all the power settings to default, but it still does that.
Not a major problem, but puzzling.

The problem isn't so much that it won't sleep or wake. It does seem to do both more or less, but that if the power cord is connected it doesn't fully sleep (the LED doesn't blink) and that waking results in the login screen flashing on momentarily followed by a black screen which requires either a forced reboot or simply unplugging the power cord. Once the power cord is unplugged then logging in is easy as the screen recovers.
My question is why is this happening? Some new feature of lion? It has only been going on a few weeks.
It was quite troublesome until I figured out I could resolve the problem by unplugging the power cord, but I remain mystified as to why it happens.
