2012 Mini crashes when going to sleep on Windows 8.1 x64 with 5621 drivers

When putting my 2012 Mac Mini to sleep on Windows 8.1, sometimes it will be unresponsive when I attempt to wake it with the keyboard/mouse. At this point the Mac Mini is off (no pulsing light) and when I press the power button it will cold boot (with the chime and grey boot screen).
This issue started after I installed the new 5621drivers. Any idea which driver is causing this so I can roll back that particular driver?

Never mind I solved my own problem. I normally put my computer to sleep using a shortcut that runs the following in a command line:
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
However this shortcut only works correctly if hibernation is turned off, and I'm guessing updating the boot camp drivers may have enabled hibernation even though it appeared to still be disabled.
I went into the power options and enabled hybrid sleep and hibernation, then disabled them again. Then I opened a command line as administrator and ran the following command:
powercfg -h off
After this my sleep shortcut works again everytime without crashing Windows.

  • System crashes when put to sleep or restart

    My system crashes when put to sleep or when I click re-start. This also happens when applications start and need to take over the entire screen. Once it crashes, I cannot start the computer for approx 5 minutes. I cannot re-start in safe mode because it also crashes. I cannot start with the application disc because the dvd drive pops open when I start the system. I have tried shutting the system down from the menu bar and the screen exits to the desktop window, but doesn't shut off. I have used disc utility to repair permissions and have re-set the pram, but the problem remains. I have a G4 gigabit/ethernet, running OSX 10.4.11, with an Apple Studio Display and ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card. This has been going on for a while - I am not sure if it started when I installed OSX tiger or when I added two new ram memory chips (I have four added, 2 512 SDRAMM and 2 128 SDRAMM). Please advise. Thank you.

    I am not sure if it started when I installed OSX tiger or when I added two new ram memory chips (I have four added, 2 512 SDRAMM and 2 128 SDRAMM).
    The absolute first step in troubleshooting is to remove the recently added RAM.
    That will remove question regarding the RAM.
    Have you tried a Safe Mode boot (hold Shift while booting)?
    This will allow for automatic system repairs. While in safe mode, does the sleep function work?
    From Safe mode, does the restart function work?
    If after removing the RAM, and after Safe mode, the problem persists, a PMU reset may be worth trying.
    The PMU controls all power functions, sleep and shut down and start. Corruption in the PMU will cause problems with these functions, and a reset will clear this up if the PMU is the root cause.

  • Fans go on at full speed 1 min. after computer goes to sleep

    Problem: Fans go to full speed 1 min. after it goes to sleep-mode. The fans will stay on until it wakes up from sleep-mode.
    Computer: Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3, OS 10.4.9, 4.5 GB RAM. 2 HD, late 2005 version.
    The problem happens every time I put it to sleep, even right after it has been turned on.
    I have measured the CPU temp to be as low as 36-40C and it will still turn the fans on high speed when put to sleep.
    I have reset the P-RAM and the SMU.
    I have installed a fresh version of OS 10.4.9 on second drive, booted from it and it still turn the fans on 1 minute after it goes to sleep.
    I have had all the RAM out beside the original RAM. I did an extended Apple Hardware test which passed.
    ...any ideas ?
    -e
    5 Macs in total   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    After trying all that, it sounds like it's hardware-related--possible logic board--but try this yet.
    Do an Open Firmware reset: Hold the CommandOption+OF keys during startup. At the '>' prompt type:
     >reset-nvram
     Return
      >set-defaults
     Return
      >reset-all
     Return
    The reason the fans are taking off, is because the OS stops communicating with the logic board.

    The only Opera Mini crash that I've seen was one that reported an "Out of Memory" error just before it exited. 
    I had left the Web Browser open (used it to find and load Opera Mini) and had forgotten to close it.
    Since then I've had no problems with it, but then I mainly use it for RSS feeds as it is friendlier than the Web Browser's RSS feed reader.

  • Photoshop crashes when rearranging layers in layer window.

    Photoshop crashes when rearranging layers in layer window.  I'm using Photoshop CS4 Extended on a MacBook Pro purchased 5 months ago. I have tried restarting the computer.  I am able to rearrange layers with the hot keys.

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
    Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)

    why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)?

    Hello again @st3lla,
    I can understand the fear of messing up a computer when I first started seriously working on computers back in the early 90's I had to format and re-install my operating system twice a day for quite a while before I figured out a very important step (at least important for me), and that was after I made a change to my computer to restart it. This way if I messed something up I only had to undo one thing and not 50 because I went wild on it. lol
    Anyways, do not be afraid of your computer all you need to do is learn that step, how to keep your personal items backed up and then of course how to re-install your computer back to factory and you can always start over with a fresh build.
    On to your questions:
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all HP updates are done.
    A - Simply review the HP Support document: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) and it will guide you through the process.
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all Windows updates are done?
    A - Simply review the Microsoft Support document: Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions and again you will find answers to this question. (***Note: Do not worry if the document refers to Windows 8.1 it is only an upgraded version of Windows 8 and the steps are the same)
    I am also including a Windows Support document: Install the latest Windows 8.1 Update, which will guide you through how to install the Windows 8.1 update on your computer.
    And finally, to put your mind at ease I am providing you with two important HP Support documents: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), and Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will provide you with all the instructions you need to backup your personal files so you do not loose them if you ever do mess up the computer, as well as provide you with instructions on how to put your computer back to how it came from the factory.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you once again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
    Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with icons at r/h side.

    My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with all icons at r/h side.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

    Running WIN 7 Home Premium 64Bit
    Need to save the plant and conserve energy!
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, so it's certainly a Broadcom wifi adapter. The Lenovo nomenclature refers to it as "1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter (43142)". But why are you trying to install Realtek drivers?
    The only driver I could find is this one, for Windows 8. Please uninstall all other drivers, reboot and install this one, or let Windows find a suitable driver and see if that works. Also please read the document from the link, it gives detailed instructions on installation and uninstallation, how to check version number etc.
    It might be the case that you have to wait a bit for an updated driver for win 8.1 to resolve the problem, but It doesn't hurt if we try to find a solution.

  • Helix: BSOD when going to sleep!!!

    I have followed this and other threads about sleep issues with the Helix, written some posts, but not got wiser.
    Lenovo Helix, 36986CG, W8.1 Pro 64b, Kaspersky Internet Security 2015, Malwarebytes Antimalware, , all updated, incl. BIOS (1.29), running TPFC for fan noise issue.
    After reverting to W8 and upgrading to W8.1 again and running System Update, the problem persists. Tried several options, like disabling the Intel Rapid Start Tech, fiddeling with Power options, Hibernation enabled and disabled... Nothing helped.
    I now have looked around in settings and logs and found out, the Helix/Windows is bluescreening, everytime its going into sleep mode. I first noticed it months ago when Firefox  had problems reopening the tabs ("Now this is embarrassing" and so on) every time I start it, like after a chrash. And Firefox had no crash record. In Lenovo Solution Center, under Support: Configuration History, pick one day in calendar and choose System Events tab. Mine says 50+ events! Looking in C:\Windows\Minidump there are stacks of log reports, just from today, the last timestamp corelating to the last time it went to sleep.
    I've noticed, when the Helix is going into sleep mode (lid open or closed), the LED blinks three times. As supposed to. But it doesnt glow short every half a minute, like it should when in sleep. Pressing the power button, the Helix starts from scratch.
    BIOS and Power management are reverted to default (incl. disabling hibernation and go sleep when lid closed)) settings problem still there. Thinking about starting all over (clean install) but hesitate with the thaught of all the work and time involved in this... And I had a look in the Drives Management: There are 4 (four!) recovery partitions (1000, 450, 350 MB and 15,4 GB, as well as one OEM-Partition, 7 GB, and EFI-System Partition with 260 MB), what's that all about?
    With all the threads about Helix and sleep in mind, is this a design flaw, Lenovo can't get around or don't they bother??? Or is there a solution out ther, non of us poor suckers with a Helix have found yet?

    When undocked and in tablet mode, how do I turn off the screen?  Normal tablets would do this by tapping the power button.  My Helix does nothing when I do that.  I suppose I can swipe to Settings and Power to send it to sleep.  But that's a little cumbersome.
    Or is there a way to set the behaviors of the power button?  Ideas?
    Yes, in control panel - power options - change what the power button does: you can set the power button to sleep here.

    You could try some data recover software, it should be able to copy the data off for you (as long as there are no physical problems with the HD). Recuva is free, Rstudio is also very good. You will need to have enough space available on another drive
