My e9107c desktop goes to sleep and them in a few hours or minutes has an unexpected power failure.
My computer goes to sleep, will wake up and run fine. It never fails while using it for hours. Once I leave it, it will go to sleep. If I come back and it is asleep it will come back on and work fine. However if while its asleep it has an unexpected power failure I have to turn on the computer and it will restate and work fine. Its like it goes to sleep and forgets it needs power and shuts off but doesn't shut down the operating system and causes a kernal 41 error.
If it were a power supply failure or an over heating problem I would expect it to occure while using the system, not during sleep mode when everything powers down. It used to work fine but the last few months the problem showed up. If I shut down the computer and them come back and turn it on it works fine. So I just don't let it go to sleep and turn it on and off.
Any idea why it would loss power while sleeping?
I think I have resolved my problem by uninstalling my cell phone software : Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0 I found that this program was interfering with windows when I wanted to turn off my computer and stopped shut down. It interfered more after two recent upgrades. I don't think Sony Ericsson has very good programer, because the more they upgrade the program the more it conflicted with Windows 7 64 bit OS I had this program on my system for a long time before the problem arose. I uninstalled the program and noticed my system ran better. It shut down without forcing any program to end. Since there was such a dramatic change in how the system worked, I tried to reset my computer to go to sleep and not shut it down. It works a designed and no longer loses power while sleeping. I didn't think an installed program could affect this feature but apparently it can.

When I either leave my mac book pro open, but idle long enough for it to go to sleep or close the top and put it to sleep, the only way to light up the screen again is to diconnect the mag. connect power cord. Any ideas why and/or how to correct this problem?
So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
Thanks for your help,

I recently upgraded to the 5s, so I delegated my old iPhone 4 to a music player/daughter checking instagram and email. Three days ago I plugged the iPhone 4 into iTunes to update it, the OS began updating. During the update my computer went into sleep mode, interrupting the OS update. Now the phone will not do anything but show the screen with the graphic indicating to plug the phone into iTunes. I've tried a hard reset (holding down power button/home button), plugging the phone into iTunes before/during holding down the home button, holding down the buttons for various lengths of time in various permutations according to info I've found online, etc, and nothing happens beyond a brief showing of the Apple logo and then back to the same screen. iTunes will make a connection noise when the phone is plugged in but otherwise makes no indication that a device is plugged in (no iPhone button in the tool bar, etc.). Any ideas or do I need to take it to an actual Apple store and hope they don't tell me it is completely bricked?
Yep, done all that. Repeatly. Don't get any sort of recovery mode message or the phone showing up on iTunes at all. iTunes is most current version, all diagnostics show everything fine, and it works fine with my current phone. Just....nothing.

My mac iMac 27 2010 vintage goes to sleep and won't wake up till I hold the on off power button....Then I have to restart as it is locked up....This it intermittent..
Help Please
JimOps I replied to myself in error.....
Tom:
I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
Then I have to shut it down with the power button and then power it up as a reboot.
Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally. It seems to be a overnight problem.
Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

Powercfg sets power plan with never sleep but system goes to sleep and locks the screen
I created a command (.bat) file that executes 'Powercfg -s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c' where '8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c' is the class name for power option (HighPerf) that sets sleep to never. Then I created a scheduler's task to execute
this command file at specified time. The goal here is to switch at this time from power option that has sleep in 1 hour (Balanced) to the power option that never sleeps.
At the designated time the power option changes from Balanced to HighPerf but after some time computer both goes to sleep and locks the screen. I do not know whether this happens at the same time or not. It is just that when I get to my computer some time
(2 hours) later, it is in the sleep mode (the light on the power button is amber), I need to press the power button to wake it up and when it comes to life I find out that the screen is locked and I need to enter the password.When I open Control Panel it shows
that HighPerf power option is selected. Yet, the computer went to sleep and the screen got locked.
All this does not happen when I set HighPerf power option from the Control Panel.
I am using Dell XPS 8500 desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium, so battery and closed lid settings do not apply as they do not exist on this computer, so those settings are not at issue.
Thank you
Isa TenHi Isa,
Based on your goal "The goal here is to switch at this time from power option that has sleep in 1 hour (Balanced) to the power option that never sleeps.", why didn't you set the Balanced option to never sleep?
If you just ant it at one time to switch, you need another task to change back. Otherwise, it keep "never sleep" and "high perf"status.
Meanwhille, check your hibernate status of these power plan under sleep tab:
Power Options->Change Plan Settings->Change Advanced settings, you see a tap "Sleep"

Is there a way to detect the event when device goes to sleep and the screen blackens?
I want to detect the event when the iOS device goes to sleep and the screen blackens?
Is there any way to do it?Hi,
A small idea, please check whether it will work or not.
You can achieve this by using combination of DNS server and reverse proxy server.( Customized apache). Make 'A' record for www.abcd.com to reverse proxy server IP address in your DNS.
So it will resolve your reverse proxy IP address for requests.
Configure appche to accept incoming request for www.abcd.com and points towards www.abcd.com/parameters.
I think this will solve your problem. Only one condition is that proxy server will communicate with www.abcd.com on behalf of client.
Follow the link for configuration of reverse proxy server

3 year old iMac 24 running OS 10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem? Does not happen on MacBookpro only on iMac.
Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts? -

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?
To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab. -
Can anybody help? My computer is going to sleep and I cant wake it(bit like a teenager) by using the mouse or keyboard. I have to use the power button. Any ideas?
Hmm, that support link doesn't like me.
Do you have the discs that came with the computer? If so, put Install Disc 1 into the combo drive and boot up while holding the C key. Does anything show up on the screen? Do you hear the fan running? When running from a CD or DVD, the fan usually runs at a fairly fast pace and should make some noise.
Keep in mind that you have a 1-year hardware warranty with any new or refurbished Mac, so if something has gone wrong, you should be able to have it replaced free of charge, unless the MacBook shows some form of damage.

I am trying to download mountain lion but the pc goes to sleep and stops the download even though I have set my power defaults to 3 hours

Try setting the Energy Saver to "never" and uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible". You can allow the screen to sleep after any suitable time.
Hope that helps. Regards. -
