QOSMIO x870 shutting down when in sleep mode

I'm not sure if this is working as intended or not.
I was working with the ECO setting to put my computer to sleep after certain amount of time. Once it was asleep for a certain amount of time, it would go into a shutdown/hibernation mode. It turns back on in the state that it was in when it went to sleep.
Also, if I have a program running and lock the computer, it will act like this as well when there is sleep time set.
I thought that I would be able to lock my computer and run a download over-night, but when I went to my computer in the morning, my computer was shutdown/hibernating. It came back up to where it was, but it appears that it hadn't continued the download for much over an hour before shutting down.
I don't think that this is intended, but I may be wrong.
I'm still digging around trying to find settings in regards to this. But I have hibernate turned completely off.
Is there some way to set the computer so that it won't shutdown/hibernate when in sleep mode and/or a locked screen?
In the meantime, I'm trying setting the ECO settings to "Sleep :: Never" to try to accomplish my download without the computer shutting down/hibernating during the process.

Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

IdeaPad U400 shuts down when in sleep mode

My IdeaPad U400 shuts down when sleeping. All programs terminate.
I reviewed another poster's complaint about a similar problem several months. The response instructed the user to update the computer's drivers.
I have updated my drivers. My computer still shuts down regularly while sleeping. Please help!

Hi RuthAnne,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the issue still persists even after re-installing the drivers as suggested in the previous posts, I also assume that you have updated the Video Driver(Win 7 or Win 8) & Chipset Driver (Win 7 or Win 8)specifically and checked if this resolves the issue.
If the issue is same even after installing the above mentioned drivers, please backup the Data in the computer to any external hard drive and perform OSRI (Operating System Re-Install) to check and confirm the issue is with the
OS (Operating System).
NOTE: If the computer is shipped with pre-installed operating System OSRI can be performed using the instructions in U400 User Guide click here, check the steps to perform OKR(One Key Recovery) on page 23.
Hope this helps!!!
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

MBP shuts down when in sleep mode

I left my core i5 MBP 15 asleep during the day today with about a 85% charge. I opened the lid later this evening and the computer shut down and when I started it up, it only had a 58% charge. Please let me know what's going on or what I need to do. Thanks.

Tech. Support told me to send my laptop to them after too much of my time wasted. They were trying to make me install the Thinkpad Power Manager software and driver once again. They even said it was normal if your laptop shuts down after a few minutes or hours in sleep mode which is completely stupid unless the battery drained off and that's not the case.
And what's more important, my laptop was working faultlessly until I sent it to them for service. Then they changed the main board but they broke my LCD screen and caused the problem with Sleep mode. So I had to send it back, they changed the LCD with a 2005 HT14P12-100 when I had bought it in 2008 but they did nothing about the Sleep problem. And they want me to swallow that?
Ok, they'll collect it on Monday or Tuesday because I told them I was fed up and I didn't want it like that. I don't expect they'll solve the problem but I don't want it back until my Thinkpad works like it used to do before they put their hands on it.

Yoga 13 Shuts down when in sleep mode...

I've always used sleep mode at night and quite frankly most of the time instead of shutting down my yoga. I know thats not good after reading some here but wanted to share history in case that has something to do with problem.
Typically at night or when leaving office or just going to be off computer for a while I'll close the lid (which is set for sleep mode) and when I return I open it up, enter my password and I'm right where i left off. I have multiple spreadsheets or power points open so it's easier than shutting those down every time or even at night. But since yesterday, when I open it back up, it has shut down and has to start up from "off" vs sleep. All things open have to be recovered (xls, docs, ppt, etc) and chrome says it has shut down unexpectedly and asks if I want to restore tabs, etc.
What is causing this change and how can I troubleshoot it and fix it?
Help much appreciated.

Right click on command prompt and select run as administrator. That should fix it and allow you to type that line

Done everything, yet my Mac keeps shutting down when in sleep mode

I have reviewed all the topics here and nothing quite matches my problem.
When I put my computer to sleep, after about 30 minutes, it shuts down.
I have vacuumed the vents.
I checked Console for warnings (there are none).
I reset the SMU.
I reset the PRAM.
It is out of its warranty with Apple Care ... is my computer dying??
Any ideas what to do next?

My 3.5 year old 20” G5 iMac recently started doing the exact same thing! It does not seem to be heat related, and there are no warnings in the console either, and it was not part of the ones identified with possible power supply issues.
I’ve checked all of the preferences and settings, ran Disk Warrior and Disk Utilities, checked file permissions (all were OK). Mine only seems to power down after it goes to sleep (but not every time), never in the middle of doing anything. So far, I’ve only noticed it when some of my external fire wire drives are powered up, but that could be a coincidence.
I was beginning to think it’s some sort of software bug, but I suppose it could be a hardware fault with the logic board. But since you are having the same issue, maybe it is software afterall. My software is totally up to date, but it seems that I’ve only started having this problem after installing 10.5.6.

Qosmio X870 shut down all of a sudden

My Qosmio X870 shut itself down all of a sudden and wouldnt turn on or charge for about an hour, what does this mean?

I think it was a high temperature issue.
Mostly the notebooks shut down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
If the cooling grilles are full of dust or debris, its advisable to remove this using compressed air spray.

Qosmio F10 shut down when I touch it

Hi everybody
Since yesterday, I've a problem with my F10.
It quite paranormal, so i give you the facts.
- the computer shut down when I touch it (when I close the screen, or touch it at bottom left)
- after that, the alimentation light flicks with this scheme:
1 long (blank) 6 shorts (Blank) and 1 long
- to shut up again, I must remove the battery and the alimentation, wait a little, and it can shut up again.
I've installed no updates, no software, and it looks like to be motherboard problem...
Naturally, it is not under warranty anymore...
So if you have answers !!
Thank's
Eric

I can't logon with Eric4, but it doesn't matter.
So, ok, I phoned to Toshiba Fr who saied me it was an electrical problem, and i should bring the computer to us.
So, I decided to take a screewdriver, and I opened the computer. I've used a dry spray, and I closed the box.
So, there's no problem anymore. I don't know the word in English, but I think it was a small metal dust on the motherboard.
Thank you for your help (but I must particulary thank my screewdriver).

Energy consumption when shut down or in sleep mode

Dear All,
I have been going through many forums and looking for a solution.
When shutting down my computer or setting to sleep the battery is still being used. When shut down it is around 10% in a 24hr period and similar in sleep mode.
I have run "pmset -g assertions" in "Terminal" for those who dont know and the following comes up. I always have an active user. I have every program turned off.

Where else do I need to look?
It is bothering me to bits as I may not use it for 2-3 days or when travelling long distances. I bought this macbook pro so I could use it for extended periods, but this is such a bother!!!

Hi all!
Thanks for the suggestions - I have checked the console logs and it looks like my Elgato EyeTV (which isn't currently connected and in use) has a helper app which is waking up the computer at strange times.
Here's what's in the log:

I've noticed that the EyeTV Helper App is in my Startup Items - I'll remove it from there, restart, and see how I get on.

My mac shuts down in prolonged sleep mode "because of a Problem".

If my mac book pro mid 2012 goes to sleep for a prolonged period of time I have to reboot it as hard start and get a message indicating that it shut down because of an problem. How Do I fix this?
I had my mother board tested at a mac shop in Nepal while I was there and it came back as everything being perfect.
It does not always do this though and for short sleeps it never does.
I have had extensive changes done to this mac such as a 16GB Ram upgrade and replacing the hard drive with a 1 T Crucial Hard Drive and removing the DVD Player and adding in a 256 Solid State Drive. So far everything has been working great. Just recently I notice this occuring with the sleep mode so as a result I just shut down the computer fully when I am not near to it or using it. Any advice as to what to look at or try out.

godlovestodance,
your Mid 2012 needs 1600 MHz memory modules. Is your currently installed RAM of this variety?
In your current setup, is it your 1 TB HDD or your 256 GB SSD that is in the optical drive bay?
One thing you can try is this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still crash because of an extended sleep?

Qosmio X870 shutting down without reason - low perfs

Hello everyone,
I have recently bought a Qosmio X870 116 and I am extremely disappointed. It is supposed to be a gaming computer but I can barely run a single game without the PC crashes. I tried to run recent games such as Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2. During the downloading of the GW2 launcher, the PC crashed after a while, shutting down without any reason.
I eventually managed to install the game on my laptop anyway but I still encounter some issues since as I play, after not more than two minutes, the game slows down, the frame per second rate drops dramatically to 2 fps and the laptop crashes again.
I think there is a problem with the graphic card or the fan because eveytime I try to launch a game, the fan starts to run very fast and noisely.
I thought it also may be a problem with the Nvidia technology because of their Optimus service on their recent graphic cards, therefore I tried to "prioritize" the use of my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M instead of the chipset Intel HD Family 4000 used in the laptop, by right-clicking on the GW2 icon and opening the NVIDIA panel to select the "Nvidia High performances" option.
Unfortunately, the game still crashes after a few minutes. I obviously updated the drivers for the Nvidia but still, it doesnt work.
Moreover, the laptop seems pretty slow to me even while browsing on the Internet and the desktop which is rather worrying since the laptot has 12 GB memory.
Does anyone has an idea what is the reason for such low performances?
Thanks by advance.

Try this with your video card and power settings:
Go to NVIDIA Control Panel (right click on desktop, 8th selection down), select/click
First tab {Adjust image settings with preview}:
Select: {Use my preference emphasizing: Performance}
**select "performance"**
Hit {Apply}
Second tab {Manage 3D settings}
**It gets technical but make sure it is exactly as I say it or it will not work. **
Go to Subtab 1{Global Settings}:
{Preferred graphics processor:}
**SELECT "High-performance NVIDIA processor** *(see Note 1 at end)*
Settings: *Again,it has to be exact; first phrase in { } is "Features" the first column, second phrase in { } is the "Settings", the second column:
**Everything is on a drop-down menu if you click on the {Feature} name and mouse over the {Setting} option**
{Ambient Occlusion} {Performance}
{Anisotropic filtering} {Off}
{Antialiasing-FXAA} {On}
{Antialiasing-Gamma correction} {On}
{Antialiasing-Mode} {Off}
*Grayed out* {Antiliasing-Setting} {None}
*Grayed out* {Antiliasing-Transparency} {Off}
{CUDA-GPUs} {All}
{Maximum pre-rendered frames} {4}
{Multi-dislpay/mixed-GPU acceleration} {Single display performance mode} (see Note 2)
{Power management mode] [Prefer maximum performance] **a no brainer but its default is not this setting**
{Texture filtering-Anisotropic sample opt...} {On}
{Texture filtering-Negative LOD bias} {Allow}
{Texture filter-Quality} {Quality}
{Texture filtering-Trilinear optimization} {On}
{Threaded optimization} {Auto}
{Triple buffering} {Off}
{Vertical sync} {Off}
*Hit "Apply" before moving to the third tab {Set PhysX Configuration}
Third tab {Set PhysX Configuration}:
*ONLY SETTING IN TAB*
Select "GeForce GTX 670M"
Hit {Apply}
**NOT "CPU" and, NEVER "Auto-select (recommended)"** (see Note 1, again)
Go to Power Settings in your Control Panel:
Choose a Power Plan Option (Search "power" in search bar, choose the "Power plan", second selection under "Power Options" page.
*GO WITH THE HIGH PERFORMANCE OPTION, VERY CRITICAL!!!!* By default it is on "balance" (I believe)
Note 1: As far as I can tell the OS (Win8) can't transition like Win7 did between CPU and graphics card. Therefore every time graphics get going hard enough to demand the cards performance, the frames per rate stops or slows.
Note 2: Select other option if setup is different.

IPhone Shutting Off When In Sleep Mode

So, I had a problem with my iphone, and took it to the mac store and got it replaced.
now, my new iphone will completely shut down within minutes of being in sleep mode. it will only stay on in sleep mode when it's connected to power. is there any way to solve this problem without having to go to the mac store again?

Hi!!
I too have the same problem. I bought the 8GB iphone about 20 days back.
Few days it worked ok, but during this time the battery was getting exhausted within 12-14Hrs. After that, one day it went into trans and stopped working. Now it only works when it is connected to the power otherwise it keeps on displaying the Apple Logo, and of course the mobile net work is disconnected.
Can somebody help me resolving the said issue.

Why iMac shuts off when in sleep mode? Using latest System (Yosemite)

Can anyone tell me why my iMac 27", running on the latest system (Yosemite), all of a sudden started shutting off when put in the sleep mode?

Try resetting the SMC.
Additionally, look at the log files around the time the system shut down.
You might also take it in for testing/diagnosis.

Helix shuts down while in sleep mode

Using windows 8. Every time I shut the lid of my computer it goes into sleep mode. This is good, but after a while in sleep mode it either shuts down or does something that causes it to close all programs and require rebooting. How do i stop this from happening and just let it go in sleep mode forever?

It's intel's IRST function。When you press sleep, after some time(you can change the value in bios），it will save the data in memory into a special ssd partition to save power。
How to:
Restart the helix, when the lenovo trademark appeared,you touch the text under the "lenovo", enter the bios.
select config,power,you will see “intel rapid start tech.”，see the description on the right side. When you understand the tech you can change the value now.
you can disable the IRST,then when you press sleep in windows by close the lib or touch the power on the charm,it will sleep until the battery out of power. you can change the time just as 8 hours, so you will not power the helix from bios start after a night .
maybe my english is poor ,just remember :bios->config->power->intel rapid start technology->disable.
哎，没文化害死人啊。

MacBook Pro freezes or shut down automatically in sleep mode

Hi there,
since awhile I'm troubled with a strange problem: Every now and then my MacBook Pro freezes randomly.
The only way to recover is to use the power button. There is no causality with programs I used or with
external devices. I don't use SOPHOS by the way.
The second strange thing is that my MacBookPro also automatically shuts down (after a while) when I use the screensaver
or the sleep mode. Any Idea?
Kind Regards,

Try a Safe Mode boot ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
A Safe Mode boot deletes some system caches that may help.
