GT70 BSOD or Stuck after Windows puts it to sleep mode of turns off monitor

Hi Everyone!
i have an issue (or 2) with my laptop.
both happens when:
1) whenever i put the laptop into sleep mode or either windows does so automatically (inactive period), - the laptop will go to sleep just fine.
2) windows turns off monitor after a period of inactivity. (sleep mode due to inactivity was disabled in this case)
in both the cases i mentions above, if i wake the computer within lets say 5 minutes, it'll turn on just fine.
but after a certain period of time passes it wont.
with the sleep mode, the computer will wake and will then produce a BSOD STOP error 0x4 and restart.
with monitor turned off it'll simply wont turn on, not responding to neither keyboard, mouse or power button. - i have to do a hard reboot
any ideas?
anything i can check?
note the laptop just came back from a warranty repair, so all parts have been tested and been found ok!
system specs:
MSI GT70-0ND
CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (Intel GPU HD 4000 included)
Memory: 16GB DDR3
Storage: 750GB HDD 7200rpm
128GB SSD (Patriot Pyro SE) - OS installed on this.
GPU: 4GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 675MX
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Thanks in Advance!!

i dont think i have the same problem as in the other thread.
my bios:
my laptop doesnt restart when my screen is turned off and i try to wake it. it would simply wont wake up.
and my BSOD happens only after i wake the laptop from sleep mode and only if it been in sleep mode for a while. meaning i if i wake it up within a few mins of going to sleep it'll boot justfine.

My Macbook Pro (early 2011, 10.6.8) keeps rebooting when I put it to sleep mode or turn off the display.

When I go out for lunch, I always put my Macbook Pro either to sleep or turn off the display with Ctrl-Shift-Eject. Recently, a few times, when I returned to the computer, I find it in the login screen with all apps closed. What to do?

What do you man by 'kills' the application? Do open applications close?
Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

Any change?
Do you have any third party AV or so called 'performance' or 'cleaning' applications installed?

Windows 7 Sleep mode not turning off fan

I have a weird sleep issue that just started, I've built a new PC, Win7x64 and just noticed this happening. When I put the computer to sleep manually, the machine looks like it goes to sleep, but the fans keep running and it 'sounds on'. If I wake the PC,
then put it right back to sleep, it goes into deep sleep and the fans go off. Nothing I can see is keeping it awake, I have a i5-2500k, Asus P68 deluxe mobo, and it seems to be a repeatable issue. If the PC wakes up by itself to do something, then goes back
to sleep on its own (times out) it goes into deep sleep. It's only when I manually do it that it has the issue. Anyone ever seen this? Thanks!

I had the same issue a while ago. It ended up being because I added my network printer to the printers folder by clicking 'add a network printer' rather than 'add a local printer'.
When I added a 'local' printer (and pointed it to the IP Address of the printer) the sleep issue went away. Both methods (network/local) were able to print to my network printer, but the network printer option would result in my fans never spinning down.
Weird, right?

My iMac with OS X v10.6 keeps coming back on soon after I put it to sleep for no apparent reason.

my iMac with OS X v10.6 keeps coming back on after I put it to sleep for no apparent reason. How can I stop this from happening?

Reset the SMC, as per > Resetting the System Management Controller
If it's still not sleeping, see > Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode

Several minutes after it puts display to sleep, network get disconnected.

Several minutes after it puts display to sleep, network get disconnected.
I am sure that it get disconnected because I check the router traffic from another MAC and it get disconnected.
No mother if its connected by cable or wifi, it get disconnected.
In Energy Saver properties "Computer sleep" is set to "Never" and "Display sleep" is set in "10 minutes".
"Wake for network access" is checked but it will never work if network get disconnected.
"Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep" is checked
All the other options are NOT checked.
I hope someone from this community can help me with this issue.

Why does computer turn itself back on after i put it to sleep?

This computer ( HP Pavilion Slimline model# s5107c, Product # NP212AA-ABA, Software Build 93NAv6PrA3 ) runs on VISTA Home Premium-64. It had a virus which required the technician to save my files and wipe everything out and then reinstall VISTA and my files. Since then when I put the computer in sleep mode, it turns itself back on after a few minutes.
I can find the settings for having the computer put itself to sleep after so many minutes, but can't find any setting for the computer turning itself back on.
Help please. The computer tech has not been able to help me thus far.
This question was solved.

Found this step online. Hope it works for you.
Go to >>> "ScreenSaver" >>> "Change Power Settings" >>> "Change Plan Settings" >>> "Change Advance Power Settings" >>> "Multimedia Settings" >>> "When Sharing Media" >>> and make sure the setting says "ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP."

My iMac 10.6.8 will not stay asleep. It keeps coming back on seconds or minutes after I put it to sleep.

My iMac will not stay asleep. A few seconds to a few minutes after I put it to sleep, it comes back on.

OK, a few more things coming to mind:
Set the energy saver to sleep in 1 min
Diconnect every single peripheral you have connected to your iMac
Eject any DVD/CD you may have in the drive
Turn off all applications you have running
iTunes or DVD Player could be waking it constantly up if accessing your drives
Messaging apps could be looking for internet connection
Disable Wi-Fi
Disable Bluetooth - you don't have cells paired to it, do you?
Disconect Ethernet cable (if connected)
Spotlight - is it indexing your drive? (a dot within a magnifying glass would be pulsating and won't let your Mac go to sleep)
Connect a wired mouse - if you have it - and go to Apple menu then click SLEEP
If it remains asleep, keep adding all apps, devices and services back until you find which one is causing it.
If nothing helps, then I'm out of ideas....
In case you have Apple TV - the remote can indeed make it wake up.

Computer keeps waking up immediately after I put it to sleep

I've got a dual G5 running Panther and I put it to sleep when I go to work in the morning. Last night, I wanted to try out Tiger (yes, I know - I'm way behind the times) so I installed it on a FireWire drive and booted off it for a couple of hours to see how things worked. I then went back to my internal Panther drive, and noticed that when I hit "sleep", it goes to sleep, the screens turn off, and then for some reason I immediately hear the internal drives spin back up and the thing turns on again!! Why can't it stay asleep?!?

That is common and in my sleep tips;
"USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit."

[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.

My iMac often restarts by itself after I put it to sleep

Often my iMac restarts by itself after I put it to sleep, even when my router is off.

I'm encountering the same issue with my mid-2011 iMac 12,1 restarting after being in sleep.
I want to try deleting some startup files/folders as listed in your previous post. When it comes to the following:
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Do I delete the entire folder or just the files in each folder? Do I delete all files or am I looking for some in particular?

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.

Sleep is one of the activities controlled by the PMU. A reset of the PMU may
be in order:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760
what settings will be cleared by this (what will I lose and need to set up again)? any system Settings, firmware updates, or whatever?
Also, I trust that you have reviewed your Energy saving preferences to confirm
that they are set to allow sleep, and not to disturb said sleep?
which ones in particular? I think they're fine but maybe I'm missing something that got munged somehow. Where are the "disturb"-type settings? I've got "wake on LAN access" clicked off for example. What else is there?
Thanks,

Not detecting external display after waking up MBP from sleep mode

I am a recent owner of a MBP and enjoying it. However, one problem that I can't seem to find a solution to is the external display problem after sleep mode.
When I first boot up the Mac and plug in my Dell external monitor via the mini adapter, there is no problem with detection or display. However, every time I put the MBP in sleep mode and then wake it up again, the external monitor does not "wake" up and my MBP only displays my normal screen on the Mac.
I tried to 'Detect Displays' to no avail and the only solution is unplugging the mini connection and plugging it back into the MBP for the MBP to re-detect the external monitor.
Although this is a quick fix in itself, I do not want to wear out the mini port by doing this every timeI come out of sleep mode. Any solutions so that the external monitor will detect the MBP waking up from sleep and display properly? Thanks!

And same problem here.
Using a MBP 2.66 i7 with a Dell 3008WFP that's connected to the MBP through DisplayPort. It works some of the time but once in a while (only been using the new MBP for a couple of days now) the monitor won't come out of sleep mode. Turning it off/on causes OS X to completely ignore the monitor. I was able to get this setup to work again by pressing 'Detect Displays' in the System Preferences pane but most of the times that doesn't help. The only sure way to get the monitor working again is by booting into Windows through Bootcamp, Windows is able to use the monitor, if I reboot after that OS X sees the monitor again.
Also saw a magenta line/stripe on the left side of my monitor and the monitor sometimes makes a buzzing sound when connected to the MBP through DisplayPort. That's what you get by using bleeding edge tech I guess :\ Only alternative is buying the mini-DP to dual-DVI connector but paying $99 just to be able to use an external monitor is rather insane. Besides that lots of users are having problems with this adapter.

Window 7 64 bit - sleep mode - PC won't wake up

Accidentally put PC into sleep mode from start button. Power lite initially blinked. Moving mouse, hitting space bar or "sleep" key on keyboard does not work. I held power button down for 5 seconds, and PC started beeping. Held power button down again for seconds and power lite stays non, not blinking, but blank screen. HP monitor says "no signal" and then it goes into sleep mode. How can I "wake up" my PC?

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.
