Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change

Hello. To get right to the chase, I have this envy 15 series laptop. It came with a 768GB hdd, which I upgraded to an SSD (512GB one) Recently, I decided to downgrade the storage back to the original hdd the laptop came with. I was obviously expecting my system's performance to decrease, especially with boot times and what not, but I was also expecting the performance to be the same as what it was when I originally received my laptop, more or less. However, this has not been the case. The laptop's performance has greatly suffered after reinstalling the *originaly hdd this laptop came with* Issues: Boot up times are ridiculously slow now. I mean, so slow that I figure I should go downstairs and have a drink while I wait for it to boot slow. It was never even remotely this slow, before or after upgrading to my ssd. When the pc goes to sleep, it does not wake up. Perhaps it would wake up if I left it alone for a few hours, but I'm not willing to do that, and no one should be. I'm also speaking literally right now. I have to force my laptop off and then turn it on normally in order to boot back from "sleep" mode. I've since had to turn off automatic sleep. If I close the lid to let my laptop hybernate, it does not recover. When I turn it on, it looks like it will return from hypernate, but it does not. It turns itself off. When I turn it on again, it boots normally, but it does so as if I had shutdown the pc and then booted back up. It takes windows a long time to login, and get everything running so that the pc runs normal. None of this is normal. This pc has absolutely no excuse to be running this slow. It never has, and it only started after switching back to my hdd. What I did: I cloned my HDD onto an SSD. In case it matters, I used Acronis true image to do it. Last night, I switched back, and used the same software to clone my SSD back into my HDD. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but there you go. I used sector writes to clone the SSD back into the HDD. I think I did the same to clone the HDD into the SSD the first go around, as I seem to recall having issues with the automatic clone last time as well as this time, but I'm not 100% positive. Troubleshooting steps I've taken: I first ran a complete chkdsk /r in order to fix any problems, and then allow me to extend my C drive for all of the free space my disk now had, due to cloning a smaller drive. I then did a full defrag and optimize on my disk. Finally I ran winsat to recheck my hw's performance, and let windows know that I no longer had an SSD but rather an HDD. This turned superfetch back on, and I confirmed that it was now running again. I'm not really sure what else to do.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-j171nr Notebook and issues with Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change. Here is a link on performance issues. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which has helped others. I hope this helps. Thanks.

IPod5 has suddenly gone into a mode that Speaks everything and I can't scroll

iPod5 has suddenly gone into a mode that Speaks everything (i.e. "screen dimmed", "screen locked", "Calendar, Monday, May 13th, double tap to open", and when typing, "a, alpha, r, romeo" etc.) but I can't scroll anywhere and I even have to highlight and then double tap to type each letter when typing - even to enter my password to unlock.
How do you turn this off?

I found this in another discussion.
Check: Settings - General - Accessibility - VoiceOver = Off.
Please note you will need to use 3 fingers to scroll to various menu items.
This worked but I found it diffucult to scroll even with using 3 fingers.

... does my iMac model... support Hibernatemode 3 alias "Safe Sleep" to protect my Mac against damages due to power outage?
You can set hibernate mode to 3, but it seems to me its only benefit could be if power were to be lost after the iMac was already sleeping. Sleepimage is written to disk prior to system sleep. If your iMac lost power while it was "awake" you would certainly lose any unsaved work no matter what hibernate mode you choose.
The problem is that an iMac without power no longer sleeps, it's dead. Upon restoring power you need to cold boot, and I seriously doubt sleepimage can be forced to load in that event. Sleepimage is loaded upon wake from "safe sleep", not from boot as far as I know.
It is simple enough for you to try, so go ahead and see if it does what you want. Other than creating a 16 GB sleepimage file it did not appear to do anything beneficial on the iMac I am using though (a later model).
The file location is /private/var/vm/sleepimage
Configure hibernatemode, verify the file is created, do some work on your Mac, don't save it to disk (and don't use Pages or similar app that saves work on its own), let it sleep, then pull the plug. I think you will see what I mean.

I haven't installed any new software. I don't have the Samsung Magic SSD software mentioned in other posts, and the only devices configured to wake the laptop are the mouse and keyboard, neither of which is touched when the laptop wakes up. Any suggestions
on how this can be delayed until I wake up the laptop would make my wife very happy. I do have a scheduled task to wake the laptop to run the AV software while I'm away, but that's hours after it's actually waking up. Thanks!

try to go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools
Disable and set the trigger as never at task scheduler > time sync
You can also try to clean boot

Equium U300-151 crashes from sleep or hibernate when WLAN is switched on

I have a new Equium U300-151. BIOS V3.80 and Intel wireless version 11.5.0.32 (which seems to be the latest driver). Vista SP1
When resuming work from sleep or hibernate mode the laptop always crashes if the wireless switch is on.
I am aware this is a problem that is discussed in a number of forums but apart from hopeful references to SP1 and drivers I have not come across a solution. SP1 does not seem to have helped resolve my problem.
Any answers - thanks.

Hi
I never noticed such issue on my notebooks and to be honest I didnt find any similar cases here in the forum.
From my knowledge the new BIOS update is available for this unit on the Toshiba driver page.
I would recommend downloading the right and compatible BIOS and to perform the update.
Hopefully it helps.

Short flickering when the notebook wakes up from sleep mode MacBook Pro Late 2013

Hello everyone!
I have a question concerning the display of my new MacBook Pro with retina display (late 2013).
Sometimes when opening the lid when the notebook wakes up from sleep mode, the display is flickering for like two seconds. Then everything is normal again.
This specially occurs when the lid has been closed for a longer time. It makes no difference if the power adapter is plugged in or not.
Have you experienced a similar flickering with your MacBook Pro?
Thank you in advance!

Hello!
I have the same problem with my late 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. The constant flickering after being awoken from sleep was a minor annoyance for me so I contacted Apple Support.
I shall explain what I have done thus far, and I recommend you follow the same steps as I did to tick off possible causes:
Firstly, I reset my PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ph14222) and SMC (ttp://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964).
The issue still remained so I checked if the flickering occurred in a new user (if it does not then it points to your account having a setting which is causing the flickering - possibly third party). For me the flickering continued so I tested it in Safe Boot (which worked fine!).
I then ran (just to be certain) the Apple Hardware Test (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509). All seemed to be OK. So I reinstalled OS X and still the issue remained.
It was then I had an Apple Support person 'screen share' with me and we went through certain folders. My GPU folder had an unusual amount of files so we trashed them and began a restart however this led to a bigger problem; my notebook wouldn't boot (not even in Safe Boot!), so be very weary at this stage, I'm not sure if this was a rare case or we deleted something we shouldn't have. I then had to go into recovery mode to get back to square one.
Back to the initial problem I reinstalled a 'clean' OS X version from recovery mode; this was to determine whether if the data is corrupted on my account or if it's something else; most likely hardware by now even if there was nothing that came up in the hardware test (it won't account for everything). I checked from both a backup of my data and then from a fresh user after reinstalling OS X and still the flickering continued.
It was then a Senior Apple Support person set up an appointment to have my MacBook looked at and possibly repaired (it could be a minor wire causing the problem).
That is the point I am at now, so for my case it seems like a minor hardware problem. If your case is as similar as mine I recommend making an appointment with them to run more sophisticated hardware tests that your own MacBook would not run.
I will comment again when my issue is completely resolved for those who come across this Discussion in the future.
Hope this helps!

Why won't my Macbook Pro go into sleep or screensaver mode?

For some reason my MacBook Pro stopped going into sleep or screensaver mode. I have always had my computer set on the most energy efficient settings. It used to go into sleep and screensaver mode just fine. I did not make any changes to my settings (and no one else has access to my computer) and now it just will not go to sleep by itself and it will not go into screensaver. The only light on my computer that still dims is the keyboard, it will dim when it is supposed to. Occasionally, my computer screen will randomly dim when it is supposed to, but then it will brighten again without me touching anything. Even more occasionally, it will go into sleep and screen saver mode, but this hardly ever happens. Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

You could check Activity Monitor and see if something is running in the background stopping it from going to sleep or having the screen saver come up.
That is what it sounds like. A program is keeping it from sleeping.

My macbook boots up and only stays on for 30sec and goes into sleep mode

My macbook boots up and only stays on for 30sec and goes into sleep mode! Any suggestions as to why this might be happening? Thanks....

I assume you have checked your sleep settings in System Preferences>Energy saver
I also assume this has just happened recently and spontaneously, not after installing any particular hardware or software or you would probably have mentioned it...if anything new has been added recently, obviously just remove it!
It could be the battery - have your tried it just on mains? If it's a pre unibody MacBook try it without the battery at all. This could happen if you have a non-Apple (cheap Chinese) replacement battery.
Try NVRAM, PRAM & SMC resets (Google if you don't know how)
Try booting from the install media and repairing or reinstalling OS X. (Back up first!)
Just out of interest if you boot from a DVD or go into Open Firmware or Boot Select modes, does it still sleep after 30 seconds or is it just in OS X?

Sleep/Hibernate Modes in Win7

Hey guys, Im wondering if there is some secret to using these power save modes. I was under the impression that Hibernate mode would shut down the PC, but keep the current work station saved. Whether i use sleep or hibernate, my screen goes black, but all light and fans in my case stay on. Thought ? Thanks

I'm certainly not an MSI BIOS expert and I do realize settings vary from BIOS to BIOS even from the same manufacturer, but my BIOS has to be set to OS for WIN7 to S3 sleep.
Is ACPI Standby State set to S3 in BIOS Setup? Have you checked that option?
What about this:

http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-hibernate-option-in-windows-7/
Have you checked your settings?

FYI: switching between SLEEP Mode and HIBERNATE Mode on Powerbooks 5.8

The current 15" Powerbooks (DL Superdrive) will enter hibernate mode if the battery is very low on power.
To always use Hibernate Mode instead of Sleep Mode:
Launch terminal and enter
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
It will take a little longer to hibernate/wake a Powerbook compared to sleeping. Waking has to be done by pushing the power button.
To disable Hibernate Mode completely, in terminal enter:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
To turn back your PB to standard behaviour (first sleep - hibernate if battery is low on power), in terminal enter:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

So it's basically the same as PC based laptops. Sleep or suspend mode brings the computer back up faster but if it loses power while sleeping any unsaved work is lost. Hibernate writes the files to disk or RAM before shutting down so the work isn't lost if the battery drains out.

Macbook suddenly sleeps after 10.9.2

Hi.
Roughly after 10 days of upgrading to 10.9.2, my air has been very annoying. It abruptly sleeps particularly when I move it or receive a Skype call. And I hear scratching noises a lot. Could this be a hardware issue rather than an upgrade problem? Because it happens frequently whne i lift it or turn it, I feel it might be a hardware problem, but I never had problems before the upgrade.
Has anybody experienced this sudden sleep thing?

I don't have an external monitor connected to test this, but trying rebooting your Mac without the external display connected, then plug it back in.

HUGES problems with display after waking up from hibernate mode

Hello everybody,
I hope that somebody can help me soon, because in the last 15 days I'm reaaaaallly annoyed with MAC's issues.
In the last 15 days it seemd I had to reboot it a lot of times, because it freezes, it crashes, etc...
Neverthless what happened today it passes all the limits: in the last period, because of these often crashes, I turn the mac off at night, on the other hand when I go to work I simply close the display and let it hibernates.
Today when I came back after work I opened it and it was amazing:
it has a different desktop!! With different icons in the dock, diferent icons in the top-right part, and it was freezed! I had to force it to shut down, restart it...and since then, I had huge problem with display.
It shakes everything while scrolling mails, web pages or icons in the dock. If I scroll between desktops, it takes year lights more than yesterday!!
Nothing happen if I restart as many time as I want.
In my simple opinion it seems a virus issue, but..as far as I know, there is no need to install an AV on a mac, right???
I tried to record some of these probls with the QT, but when you start recording all the desktop, it seems A LITTLE better, smoothing all these shaking effects. NEverthless they are still noticeable.
I'll try to attach a video as a dropbox link, 'cause I can't attach it on the message (it is denied)
PLEASE HELP MEEEEE!!!!

I am going to add my problem to this as I believe it fits and may add to the conversation.
I have a MacBook Pro, am using Parallels, and have an issue waking it up from sleep.
Circumstances:
I close the lid and walk away from the device in my office. When I return, (over night or an hour later) I open the lid, and if nothing happens swipe the touchpad or press a key, the power light changes from pulsating to steady. then in less than 15 seconds it goes back to pusating. The display never energizes, only remain black.
I usually try opening and closing several times, and occaisionally that will work. Other times, I hold the power key until I hear the drive halt, then turn it on. The grey screen will display, then blue, then just before it gets to the log in, the screen goes black (not energized) and the light pulsates.
I have tried the PRAM reset and Safe Mode starts with no luck.
*Now the really wierd thing.* I decieded to contact Apple support on line and pay for help (yes that is weird in an of itself for me). As I began the process it came to the part for me to enter my serial number. With the lid open, I turned the MacBook on its side to try to read the number and the screen energized and the password unlock prompt was waiting for me to enter the password.
Observations
I had read where the light sensor could be blocked by dirt or the light in the room was too dim, but I clean the screen and there is plenty of light. Dales Post is the first that I have seen Parallels and the Sudden Motion Sensor. That makes some sense to me because of what happened when I turned it on its side. I have verified that it happens regardless of using Parallels. as teh last time I did it I had closed out of all my VMs and I believe exited Parallels.
I am going to try the deleting the power preferences file and will report back.

Macbook sleeping when screen open and wakes on close

I just repalced a busted screen on my Macbook 13"(white late early 2008) after it had falledn and broken the lcd screen. Everything went fine and the parts all went back together perfectly and without any uncertainty with teh exception of the small magnet in the left side of the screen frame.
Now wehn I power on the Macbook the screen turns on for about three seconds then goes black. At first I thought it was not booting at all but after I walked away and came back to play with it I found that it finished booting up when the screen was closed. When I opened the screen I saw the desktop for a few seconds then the screen goes to sleep. I can repeat this over and over all day long.
It looks like it is asleep when the screen is open but wakes up when the screen closes. I know there is a Reed switch that controls this. I moved the little magnet back and froth several times and any time it approaches the right area of the logic board the screen wakes up for a few seconds then goes black again.
Is there a reset that can be done to try and knock it out of this backwards mode? (I have tried Command, Option, P, R while booting but no success)
Is it plssible that I am just holding the magenet in the incorrect orientation? (I've tried turning it a few different ways)
Is it possible that the fall caused something to be damaged other than the screen? (can't imagine a Reed switch going bad due to being bumped)
Any advice would be great. Thanks!
Doug

Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
