Encore cs5 putting computer in sleep mode

hey all
new to the forum and need a little help please
i recently updated my creative suite cs3 to the new masters cs5
i'm more a photographer and don't do a lot of video.
I recently have decided to teach myself wih alot of help from tutorials to use premiere pro and encore.
i have managed to make a project with premiere that i'm happy with and i simply wanted to export to dvd
so i send it to encore put the project in the timeline and set the end action to chapter one.
next i choose build and check the settings i want.
now after about 3-5 minutes of encore doing it's thing the computer simply goes to sleep and no way to wake it up.
i have set all my power options on hard disc, monitor, cpu etc. to never go to sleep and it still happens
i even let it run while doing other things on the computer and it still goes to sleep.
my machine
windows 7 x64
intel i7
nvidia 9800gtx+
12gb ram
WD raptor hard drive
i'd like to think that my computer specs are reasonable and shouldn't be causing the problem.
i'll also mention that the CS5 suite was installed on a clean windows installation.
would really apretiate any help as this is driving me crazy. I did a google search but didnt find any answers with my problem.
Found a lot of discussions about encore not launching and crashing but i dont have that issue...just the darned thing going to sleep
thanks in advance

Though written more for NLE work, than authoring, there are strong similarities between the two operations, this ARTICLE might offer some tips on getting one's machine ready for the intense work required from either editing or authoring.
Now, and with that said, John T's comment on heat buildup is the most common cause of such issues. One little utility that might be of help is SpeedFan, linked in this ARTICLE (along with some other great utilities). I would also look into addressing any/all cooling issues. Things like dust buildup, lack of proper fans, lack of proper air-flow, etc., can be major contributors and MUST be addressed. Within logical levels, one can never have their computer run too cool.
Other possible causes can be bad RAM (there are RAM testing utilities in that linked article), or a PSU that is too weak, improperly hooked up, or going bad, or a MoBo going bad.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - along with those tutorials, I have one recommendation: Jeff Bellune's great book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. He covers about 95% of all that you will need to know with Encore. The only omissions will be BD and ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link), as they were added later. Still, that book will become your prime reference. Amazon has it, and should be available in OZ, though I do not know that for a fact.

I have a dual 1.8 ghz pwer pc g5 and sometimes i put it in sleep mode and come home on my lunch break and the fan is running at full speed and the computer has frozen up...what is going on here?

and sometimes i put it in sleep mode and come home on my lunch break and the fan is running at full speed and the computer has frozen up...what is going on here? is it a virus or has my computer been hijacked? it cant be good for the computer...anyone ever had this problem..?

Your problem has been reported many times, but causes are as varied as individuals.
Can we assume that a hard shutdown allows a normal restart?
Can I assume that you have used Disk Utility from your OS X install disc to repair the hard drive directory? The freezes and hard shutdowns require that the drive be repaired (not permissions) or soon the machine won't boot at all.
If the root issue is software related, in Console (the application) under Logs, there should be loggings around the time of sleep and logs that tell you what process went wild and froze the machine.
Network activity is also a common casue.

If hardware related, such as an external drive, other USB device (Wacom tablet) or USB PCI card, ejecting, disconnecting, removing, or in the case of the Wacom, updating drivers, are all potential remedies.

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

I have a MAC Book Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Well. Apple recommends to put the Mac into sleep mode if you are going to use your Mac after a short period of time, and they only recommend to turn it off when you are not going to use the computer for several days.
In sleep mode, your Mac consumes only a small battery capacity, so it's worth to put it in sleep mode. Also, it's much faster than turning the computer on every time you want to use the Mac

How often to put computer to sleep?

Dumb question maybe but is it good or not to put the computer in sleep mode when away? I tend to do that all the time, assuming it's always good to stop those hard drives from unnecessarily running, etc. Then again maybe starting them up and stopping them this frequently is worse? I'd say I put the computer into sleep mode five or six times a day then during the night.
Thanks.
John

Hard drives are usually rated for at least 25,000 start/stop cycles, so sleeping 5 or 6 times a day should not be a problem.

Issues with waking up my computer from sleep mode

Hello, May someone help me with a problem im having. 2 days ago I downloaded the new Windows 10 and It seemed to run fine on my pc. However, when I put it on sleep mode and turn it back on, it stays on a blank screen. the screen dosnt even appear to be on (this is a laptop). I tried waiting about 5 minutes but still no dice. So I just held the power button to shut it down and i did. I turned it back on and it worked fine. But I dont like just shuting down my computer because I have to start all over and school starts soon and if im in the middle of an assingment and im interrupted, Ill have to put my PC on sleep, but if this problem continues, Ill have to start all over, please help ,e

I just tried unplugging my keyboard from the back of my display. My mouse is connected to my keyboard.
Now that I have them plugged back in they look like they aren't getting any power. The mouse laser is not lighting up.

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

I have found that Lion is slower to connect to WiFi when awakening than were previous Mac OS X versions. However, the WiFi connection usually takes less than 15 seconds unless a Time Machine backup was interrupted when my computer was put to sleep. When this happens and the computer awakens, the Time Machine backup attempts to continue prior to the WiFi connection having been made. Until the Time Machine backup fails due to its inability to connect to my Time Capsule because of no WiFi connection, or I stop it manually, the WiFi connection will not occur. So if Time Machine backups are on, you may be experiencing this bug which I have reported to Apple.

[SOLVED] Automatically put HDD to sleep mode after start

Hi everyone.
I use a secondary HDD for backups. It's plugged to my computer permanently but actually it is needed for a few seconds per day. A backup script automatically shuts it down after backing up with `hdparm -Y` to save a power and reduce a noise. And I want to shut down an HDD also every time after the system is started.
I tryed two ways to implement this.
1. Udev rule that runs `hdparm -Y` for the device identified by ID_SERIAL_SHORT attribute.
2. Following systemd service:
[Unit]
Description=Put HDD to sleep mode immediately
After=systemd-udev-trigger.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/sbin/hdparm -Y /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2514N_S08BJ1HL210777
[Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target
Both methods actually run hdparm, but state of the HDD is active after login (I check it with hdparm -C). It looks like something in systemd "touches" the hard drive and wakes it up back. And I can't find what may access the secondary HDD after udev rules are processed.
What is correct way to solve the issue?
Thanks.

Well, I think you would need to determine everything that might be polling your drives during the boot process, which might be a pretty big task. Then use that information to determine either when udev should run that command, and use the lexicographically ordered rules to try finding just the right spot (and even then it might just come down to a race). Or you can use the gathered info to try and make systemd's service dependencies do the work for you. Either way, I would honestly rather just use a timer.

Why is my Mac Air still hot when I put then in sleeping mode?

Hi,I wonder why is my Mac Air still hot when I put then in sleeping mode?

I just looked in my history - can't find the link. I was googling for about 15 minutes out of curiousity before.. just researched more though. I think its an integrated circuit (the IC part) that is a combination of both analog and digital die sensor readings:
"Many embedded systems need to read sensors that produce analog signals. Since processors are built to interpret and process digital data, i.e. 1s and 0s, they are not able to do anything with the analog signals that may be sent to it by a device. So the analog to digital converter is used to convert the incoming data into a form that the processor can recognize."
Analog Die - Analog : 125
CPU Die - Digital Core : 129
x19 controller IC: 264
125 + 129 = 254....close....
Thank you for asking! You spurred further investigation
And your computer temperatures look absolutely fine. I wouldn't worry at all.

What do I do when my mac won't start up? I put it in sleep mode after installing the latest OS Lion update and now it won't open up.

Near new mac pro retina, updated OS last night, re-started, finished my work & put it into sleep mode. On power, & hooked up to Thunderbolt screen. Got up this morning and it won't boot up. Is there anything I can do myself, or is this a shop problem?

Sounds like a #1 SMC or #2 PRAM reset is in order.

Computer enters sleep mode shortly after leaving sleep mode. Defect?

I have a problem. It's not a serious problem, but since it seems to be hardware related it might cause problem in the future.
It's pretty simple. Let's say I fold the computer screen down and leave the computer in sleep mode. If I then fold it up again it will automatically enter sleep mode once again 25-30 seconds after waking up. It doesn't matter what I do. I can be completely passive or open any app and move the cursor as much as I like. After roughly 30 seconds the screen turns black and I have to press a key to wake it up.
It never enters sleep mode any other time if I don't choose so, it's always after being in sleep mode already. And it happens 80-90% of the time, but I have not noticed a pattern for when it doesn't.
Naturally my settings are in order. I just updated it today and no difference after one attempt with the new OS version.
Any ideas?

Sleep.
Shutting down a Mac is never required. It is best to let it sleep, unless you are planning to not use it for a period of time considerably longer than a few days.

Imac keeps putting itself into Sleep Mode.

This morning my Imac has put itself into sleep mode twice within an hour - losing everything I was working on. It just goes black and then loads the log in screen.
I've never had this issue before, it's not over heating (not sure if that could be a problem) it's not full up, it's not lagging it's just this problem.
I really cannot afford the time to take my Imac into the store for repair unless ofcourse it's really needed. Can someone help please?
Thank you,

Hi Tori,
Unfortunately I'm unable to help, but I want to add that I had exactly the same problem this morning (Jan 13, 2013)! It was putting itself into sleep mode twice within 5 minutes.
In contrast to TorkiClarkson, the fan of my iMac was blowing hard, but that happened a lot the last months without falling into sleep mode. Actually I'm a bit afraid I've got a heating problem since my warranty of 1 year has experienced..
Hope someone has valuable information for TorkiClarkson and me.
Thanks.

Everytime I wake up my computer from Sleep Mode the sound starts to crackle on my X-Fi?

Sometimes I'll be playing a song and a few seconds in it starts to crackle and distort the music. I notice that it only happens after my computer wakes up from sleep mode. Usually restart can fix the problem.
I have an original X-

Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier. I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French. When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode. I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case. I'll post again if I experience more problems.
