Inexplicable Shutdowns from Sleep in Windows 7

I have a new 2010 Macbook Pro with Windows 7 on it. On my Mac side, I can close the lid on my laptop and let it sleep for hours or days without issue. On the Windows side, if I let the computer sleep for more than a couple hours, it inexplicably shuts down. Is there any way to address this?

No, I agree, this behavior doesn't seem normal, and I can't find a way to change the settings. I have been attempting to get a long download completed. I leave the lid open on the MacBook Pro with it plugged in to power, and everytime I come back to the machine, Windows has turned off. Hitting the power button will restart the machine and "Resume" windows, but this is really irritating. The machine was working, why would it shut down?
The control panel allows me to control when the computer "Sleeps" but not when it "Hibernates". I'm going to try setting the "Sleep when Plugged In" to 2 hours, rather than 30 minutes, and see if I can get this download completed. But I don't understand why the machine would shut down when it is actively working on something?

  • HP 15t j000 will not wake from sleep/hibernate Windows 8,8.1,10

    HP 15t j000 will not wake from sleep/hibernate Windows 8,8.1,10. I have to restart. I've searched high and low for answer to this. I've seen videos, played with power settings.  I hoped each Windows system upgrade would fix the problem. No go. Anyone with any ideas?

    Hi , Thank you for your query.  I understand that after upgrading to Windows 10, it will not wake from sleep mode unless you restart. The first step I would try is to disable "Hybrid Boot' or "Hybrid Shutdown.  This can be done by turning off "Fast Startup" Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 Next try running the "Update Troubleshooter"  Windows Update troubleshooter. Once launched, it should show a screen like this. Use the second option "Background Intelligent Transfer Service", it should lead to a force update of 'Windows Updates' that may not be automatically being applied, that could fix some of these issues.
      Here is a link to HP PCs - Sleep and Hibernate Issues (Windows 10, 8) that may also help.  To say thanks for replying please click the thumbs up button below.If this yielded a solution please choose solution provided to help other people find this information.  Best of Luck! 

  • Fingerprint Reader not working upon waking from sleep for windows login

    Hello,
    I have a brand new T540P with a Validity fingerprint reader. 
    Rougly 80% of the time, the Fingerprint reader is unresponsive at the windows login screen after waking the computer from sleep. It works 100% of the time when booting from an off position, however. Once logged in, it also works 100% of the time. The issue only arises when logging into windows.
    Things I have tried
    -uninstalling/installing device in device manager and finger print manager pro software
    -setting fingerprints through both fingerprint manager pro software (lenovo) OR through the built in windows fingerprint control panel options
    -disabling "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" in device manager.
    I should note as well that I have another T540P that I ordered as a replacement. Both models experience the same issue.
    Is this a platform wide issue affecting all T540P models? This is frusterating. 
    Solved!

    Your report is the first we have ever heard of this issue on T/W.  It does not happen on my T/W systems here (with or without 30 Day Standby enabled).  The other reports I heard of this problem came from X240.
    I just want to confirm with you - the problem happens after coming out of Sleep (and not Hibernate), right?
    Can you tell me exactly what you are doing?  e.g.
    1.  Use the computer normally (is AC attached or not?)
    2.  Close the lid - the computer goes to sleep  (or do you go to sleep some other way?)
    3.  Open the lid 2 hours later (or how long)?
    4.  are you using a dock?
    The more info you can provide, the better.  Thanks for your help.
    Also please let me know what BIOS version you have.

  • Bluetooth is not ready after waking from sleep on Windows 7

    After upgrading my Tecra M10 from Windows Vista x64 Enterprise to Windows 7 x64 Enterprise, sometimes, when I wake the laptop from sleep, Bluetooth is not ready.
    Hibernating doesn't solve the problem, it needs a reboot which is a problem for me beacuse I usually have lots of applications open.
    When this happens, the only Bluetooth devices on Device Manager are:
    * Bluetooth RFCOMM
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-5 from TOSHIBA
    When all is working well, the Bluetooth devices on Device Manager are:
    * Bluetooth RFBUS
    * Bluetooth RFCOMM
    * Bluetooth RFHID
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-5 from TOSHIBA
    How can I restart Bluetooth without having to restart the whole system? Turning wireless communications on and off on the side silder doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Paulo Morgado

    Hi,
    I have a *two week old X500-10T* From day one I have had a number of issues, working with the Toshiba Technical support I have had to disable hibernation for mains power and battery use. My screen went to sleep and just could not wake it up without doing a reset procedure including the removal of the battery etc.
    I have been told to look out for another updated BIOS that should solve this issue. I already have a later BIOS on my laptop than the ones the Toshiba Tec support have.
    Having sorted that (not really) I also have an issue with my Bluetooth and mouse. It seems to work till you leave it for about two hours, then the icon in the task bar goes ??RED?? and you can??t in any way get it to connect again. By doing a reboot it mostly comes back into action but not always. I have to fiddle about with switching on and off from the Bluetooth manager till it comes back to life.
    Again with the great support from the Toshiba Technical support (TTS) we tried almost everything, loading the latest stack, going back to a restore point before the installation of the Windows update etc etc, but nothing solved the issue.
    Again TTS suggested I keep an eye out for a BIOS update. My previous Toshiba has worked well for many years and I am sure Toshiba will eventually come up with the cause. Very disappointing, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for a satisfactory solution (shortly I hope)
    I hope this helps some other X500-10 users.

  • Pavillion 15 n000sp doesn't wake up from sleep in Windows 10

    Since updating from Windows 8.1 to 10, my notebook has lost the ability to wake up from sleep mode.
    When I leave it idle but open, the scren goes off but any touch on the keyboard or mouse wakes it up.
    If I close the notebook, it goes into a deep sleep mode and unable to wake up. The usb powers off (optical mouse stops working) and pressing the keyboard, touchpad or power button does nothing. If I disconnect and reconnect the usb cable, I regain power to the mouse, but don't gain any functionality. Only way to recover from this is a hard reset by long power button press. I have already followed the instructions at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03383935#AbT0 (basically assuring that peripherals have the ability to wake up the device - not only the keyboard, as stated in the article, but also mouse and touchpad -  and checking for updates both through the windows update as the HP support Assistant and going through all devices in the device manager). I have updated both graphical card drivers (Intel HD and NVidia Gforce) and the update assistant doesn't detect any more updates. Still, the issue persists. Any help?

  • X220 very slow reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep

    So my X220 with the Intel 6205 card is having issues reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep or hibernation. It takes about a minute for it to do so, though occasionally it will reconnect right away. Maybe 1 out of 20. When doing a cold boot or restart, it connects immediately upon the desktop showing up.
    This was not always the case, in fact when I first got my X220 in June, I have not had this issue.... In fact, I don't know when it started happening, but it was maybe a couple months ago. I just thought it was my old router going bad. Well I got a new router, and it still happens. I have the latest Intel WiFi drivers from Lenovo, and I even tried downgrading to the previous driver from Intel's site. Still the same problem. I tried setting a default profile in access connections, and that does not help. In fact, it behaves the same way if I totally uninstall access connections as well. In fact I tried this on three different brand routers, and I can reproduce it on all of them (Asus, Netgear & TP-Link) so I think this is not a router issue. Other devices in the house reconnect right away with no issues (iPhone 4, PS3, Mac desktop, Dell laptop).
    I currently have BIOS 1.24, but this was happening with 1.21 and 1.23 as well. My X220 originally came with 1.16, and I haven't updated it until 1.21. Unfortunately I don't remember that far back, if the problem started occuring then.
    There was a brief discussion about this in another thread, but it went nowhere so perhaps this will get more attention. At least one other user reported the same issue.
    Here's a clip of exactly what happens. When i press the button or open the lid from sleep, the windows wifi icon will start spinning for a few seconds, then turn into an X. then only about a minute later, does it quickly connect to the wifi and I have full signal. Manually clicking on the icon and selecting the access point does not speed up the process. It will only connect when it wants to, about a minute after resuming from sleep/hibernation.

    Normally when a laptop running windows tries to connect to a network, it may also seek to identify certain components on the network, for example, asking the router "Who are you?". In your case, maybe the config are corrupted because the network address entries are messed up. Queries send out to the network come back with no replies, and the computer waited for the default time till timeout and it gives up.

    Hello Santiago,
    the link doesn't work anymore...
    So i'm just guessing:
    • did you check your memory? Might be a failure in a module.
    • you should update youre drivers. Use the system update tool.
    • did you try a recovery or new installation of your system? if the BSOD still occurs, there really might be a hardware failure... do you still have warranty?

  • Macbook Pro shutdown on wake from sleep

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (4,1) to Lion, and it worked fine for a couple of weeks but it has now started shutting down (straight to black screen) every time I wake it from sleep, whether sleeping closed or open.
    I have tried an SMC reset and a PRAM reset and it doesn't help. I have wiped my disk and reinstalled Lion fresh, and still have the same problem. Interestingly, with the fresh install I have to enter my password every time I wake the computer, and it shuts down once I've put my password in.
    I guess the problem might stop if I downgrade to Snow Leopard again but I want to make it work. Well out of warranty so I don't know if they'll even look at it at the Apple Store.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Laptops in docking station with lid closed go to sleep during in-place migration from XP to Windows 7

    We have an issue where existing XP laptops are targeted with SCCM 2012 OSD TS for upgrade to Windows 7.  The laptops are in a docking station, with the lid closed.  The laptops are going to sleep when the OSD is booted in WinPE, just before the
    Setup Windows and Configmgr step.  I have copied powercfg.exe from a Windows 8.1 machine (both AMD64 and x86 versions) to the MDT Tool package...." and then a step to run:
    %DeployRoot%\Scripts\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\PowerCfg.exe -setacvalueindex 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936 0
    However, the laptops are still sleeping during the Setup Windows and Configmgr step.   Any insight to correcting this will be extremely helpful.

    Hi
    We came across this issue, seems odd that SCCM doesn't suspend the power management in the OS during the TS - (But then again it also seems odd that Windows 7 will go to sleep if you close the lid of a laptop half way through a shutdown, so that when you
    lift the lid it wakes only to complete the shutdown, did MS not spot that, or choose to ignore it!?).
    These commands should be run soon after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step and will disable the device and screen from sleep/hibernating:
    Prevent sleep during OSD (Battery power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-dc 0
    Prevent sleep during OSD (AC power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-ac 0
    Prevent monitor off during OSD (Battery power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -monitor-timeout-dc 0
    Prevent monitor off during OSD (AC power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -monitor-timeout-ac 0
    Prevent hibernate during OSD (Battery power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -hibernate-timeout-dc 0
    Prevent hibernate during OSD (AC power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -hibernate-timeout-ac 0
    At the end of the TS, you can revert these changes by running the following command to reset the power scheme:
    powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    Hope this helps
    Thank you.  However, we did put similar steps in our Task Sequence right after the "Setup Windows and..." step, but the issue we are having is that the "Sleep" occurs during the "Setup Windows and...." so it never reaches
    anything after that step until the lid is opened.

  • A665-s6094 starting from sleep problem/hibernate problem and starting form shutdown problem

    hey i have a 2 day old toshiba a665-s6094 laptop and whenever i put it to sleep(as in closing the screen not from the button nor the start menu) it cant start again so i have to remove and put back the battery for it to work.
    Also it on hibernate, only the display turns off and it doesnt hibernate.
    and i have the same problem with shutdown, sometimes doesnt start after shutdown, and only removing the battery and putting it back in makes it start.
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    I am 99% sure that you have the option set to require a password when waking from sleep. If that's the case, the Mac will go back to sleep after a few minutes if no password is entered on wake.
    Two workarounds:
    1) Turn off the password-on-wake preference, or:
    2) Fast-user-switch to the login window before sleeping your Mac. When it wakes it will stay awake; and you still have the security of needing a password to get back into your user account.

  • Windows wont wake up from sleep mode.

    I have a Macbook Pro (7,1) running OS X Lion(10.7.2). This week, I installed Windows 7 Professional using bootcamp 4.0. Everything works great, except waking from sleep mode. I searched various forums, reset PRAM parameters but the issue persists. Now, everytime windows goes to sleep, I have to hardboot by holding the power button. Windows restarts saying the shutdown didnt happen properly.  Pl.help.

    I came across these two useful links. The problem is not gone but is less frequent now.
    http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2009/11/16/fixing-a-nasty-wi ndows-7-mac-pro-sleep-and-hibernation-problem.aspx
    http://www.troublefixers.com/macbook-does-not-hibernate-sleep-in-windows-7-insta lled-in-dual-boot-with-bootcamp/
    John Robbin's solution of resetting PRAM/NVRAM addressed the problem but only temporarily in my case. The problem would recur in an hour.
    Abhishek's blog address the opposite problem, but his solution of not having any programs in windows start up helps. I removed skype from the startup.
    I also started using Parallels to bring up the bootcamp windows and that too provided a workaround.

I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Im not sure if there's something special I need to do once I turn it back on; in the meantime, its still on... which I'm afraid the picture on the screen will burn into the screen. Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

    Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
    Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
    Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
    Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
    Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
    If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.

  • 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 Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN, driver version 13.3.0.24, 7-14-2010
    - 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:
    Log Name: Application
    Source:Application Error
    EventID:1000
    Level:Error
    Logged:2010-12-15 20:30:02
    Task category100)
    Keywords: Classic
    Computer: xxxxxxx (my computername)
    Then for each application the following detailed data is written in event viewer in the general tab:

    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

  • Problem with starting Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8.1 after PC weak up from sleep

    Hello,
    I have continuously problems with Photoshop CS6. After weak up my PC from sleep mode Photoshop take ages to start. It take about 15 minutes than it starts. After restart it's just fine and Photoshop start up in few seconds. Before with Windows 8 was everything ok.
    I tried reinstall whole Creative Suite, delete all files from system folders of Photoshop, no plugin used, all is up to date!
    CS used: Creative Suite Design Standard CS6, Czech language (Photoshop 13.01 64 bit and 32 bit - both do the same)
    System: PC, Windows 8.1 64bit Czech language, system and program discs: Intel and Corsair SSD, CPU Intel i7 4Ghz, 24GB RAM, Graphic - Nvidia Geforce 580 GTX (graphic drivers up to date).
    Adobe need to fix that.
    Thanks for help, it's really annoying problem.

    Along with all the other problems in this world that are all Adobe's fault.    
    OK so this all went pear shaped after updating Windows to 8.1?  Have a look at Preferences > Performance and see if Graphics acceleration is still checked.  Or it might even be greyed out.    Apparently the 8.1 installer arbitarily installs a generic graphics card driver, so you might find that your drive is not so up to date as it used to be.
    You know that you need to update it from the card maker's site?
