T510 Sleep vs Hibernate Problem

Hello,
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on my T510. I've updated all software and everything seems to be working except for the sleep function. I've checked the settings in the ThinkVantage power manager and in Windows itself, and all seems to be in order, except that when I close the laptop's lid (or even select "sleep" from the Start menu options) the computer will sleep for a minute or two, with the moon LED indicator light on, and then go into hibernation. This happens every time I try to put the computer to sleep. I can't seem to find anyone online who's experienced this problem--any suggestions? Thanks!

hey ep251,
could you uninstall the power manager software and then try to sleep and also hibernate your unit. see if the same error occurs.
also try to just start your your unit, do not open any application and just sleep / hibernate. does the problem occur even if you didnt launch any program ?

  • Sleep and Hibernate problems

    Hi,
    Been using Win7-64bit dual-booted for a while now. Sleep on it has been problematic for a while but I did have it all working fine. Since the update to bootcamp 3.2 though, I can't get it to Sleep or Hibernate.
    When I try, the screen goes dark, but the Hard Disk stays on and the system never 'sleeps'.
    My only option at that point is to hard-power-off. When windows then resumes it complains it wasn't shutdown properly.
    I've posted onto an MS forum, who said I should really try here. Based on their feedback and my gut I suspect its some driver thats causing the problem.
    I've tried closing down any apps I can see running that might cause it (BBC iPlayer, Skype, Live, etc), but still no good.
    Theres nothing in the event logs of any issues.
    I've tried updating the Nvidia drivers to the latest from them - no difference.
    Anyone have any ideas how to debug it ?
    I could try dropping back to 3.1, but I'd rather find out the cause.

    I'm using WindowsXP Pro on my 2008 Macbook Pro (Mac Side had no sleep issues), but perhaps there's a similar culprit since I solved my standby issues here using the debugger tools from Microsoft.  It was giving me a blue screen of death crash every time I would attempt to wake from sleep.  I updated by video drivers but still no joy.  I used the debugging tools (PITA, but useful) and it pointed squarely at my 1394 Firewire driver as the culprit.  Apparently, Microsoft's Firewire drivers suck.  Texas Instruments (the supplier for Apple's FW chips) recommended Unibrain (at Unibrain.com) drivers for their chipset (they're FREE drivers, btw).  Unibrain claims to be 100% compliant, even under XP and runs at full FW800 speeds, etc.  I don't know about that one way or another, but what I do know is as soon as I installed their FW driver and rebooted, my machine would now work PERFECTLY in Standby mode.  I imagine FW devices would work right now as well (many have reported crashes or slowness when trying to use them in Windows; I only use FW in OSX so I never tried them out in Windows and hadn't even used Windows until my recent trip (boredeom and wanted to play some old Windows games from Steam). 
    Anyway, the Unibrain drivers are for XP, Vista and Windows7, so it's not impossible that it's also causing issues in Vista or Win7 as well, even if the behaviors are slightly different.  The debugging tools would tell you for sure, but it's easier to try out the replacement drivers (you can always drop back to previous drivers if you don't like them).   I'd be curious to know if the drivers solve standby issues in Win7 as I'll be putting that on my next Mac.

  • 1) Sleep and Hibernate Problem, 2) Laptop sometimes doesn't boot in G560 (Intel P6200)

    hello everyone,
    i am using lenovo g560 laptop from past 2-3 years without any problems..
    now i am having some issues with my laptop and i have some questions as well..
    First,
    whenever i try to wake the laptop from sleep, fan starts and all LEDs responds as well..but there is nothing on the screen..it's just shows nothing..!!
    it doesn't even shows black screen..
    Second,
    sometimes, my laptop gets crashed (don't know if it is called crashed or what, don't know exact word to explain)
    laptop shows no responce to anything...no response to touchpad..cursor doesn't move at all..
    no response to keyboard..
    screen just hangs there..nothing works..
    fan keeps running like normal..
    i had to remove battery and reboot laptop to make my laptop work..!!
    Third,
    well this problem is i think connected to second problem..
    whenever my laptop crashes (as explained in second problem), and i reboot it. sometimes it doesn't boot..
    all leds turns on, fan starts and laptop turns off !!
    and when i try to boot the laptop after some time (say 15-25 mins), it boots without any problem..
    please give me solution of my problems..
    first i thought, the second problem is occuring due to overheating..
    but i have cleaned the cooling fan and removed the dust from it..

  • T61p does not suspend to sleep or hibernate when idle

    I am running a T61, Windows XP SP3 with all drivers updated and I am experiencing this strange power management problem. Regardless of the settings in the power management, my T61 won't go to sleep or hibernate on its own.
    But pressing the Fn + F4 or Fn + F12 button works like a charm and the system comes back up fine.
    I upgraded to SP3 in order to see if that would fix the glitch, but no success. Any ideas?

    Same here, I get same problem but I using Vista Ultma 32, did you try don't stay the browser and the sleep, hibernate will work?? I sometime can reset, but if reboot, it will crazy again.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite P300-13J doesn't wake up from Sleep or Hibernate

    My laptop (Windows Vista 32 bit) is unable to wake up from sleep or hibernate.
    Laptop is set to the Balanced Power Scheme.
    However, once the display has turned off (after 10 minutes), I am unable to wake it up.
    Unable to open Task Manager, Shut Down, nothing works, all I see is a black screen, the disk access light blinking and the fan running.
    I end up holding the power button to switch off.
    This is a recent development, it might have started when I installed Office 2010 on the laptop.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Since when did you notice this issue?
    Was this issue present after clean system installation?
    How about the BIOS? Is it up to date?
    I read in some threads that BIOS update could helps to sort out such similar problems.
    So BIOS update is definitely worth a try.
    Also the display driver update would be recommended. Of course just in case you are not using the latest version.
    By the way: is Win 7 an option for you? The Win 7 is much better and lot of different issues which appeared in Vista system, have been foxed in Win 7

  • Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9 cannot resume from Sleep or Hibernate with SP1

    Hi,
    Laptop Details: [My Laptop|http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=131911]
    I've recently used Windows Update to install vista SP1 on my laptop, however since this install I cannot resume from Sleep or Hibernate. (The service pack had installed successfully - according to Windows anyway).
    When resuming from Sleep, I get a blank screen.
    When resuming from Hibernation, I get a STOP error: +Stop 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x82F11020, 0x9A9D9714, 0x00000000)+ caused by *Classpnp.sys*.
    After checking these forums, I've seen that Toshiba does not currently support SP1 +is that correct?+
    +*If so, when/how will we be notified when Toshiba release a "patch" for Vista SP1 compatibility? I'm guessing via the TEMPO service?*.+
    Prior to installing SP1, I installed all updates (from both Microsoft and Toshiba) and had no problems; all drivers remain up to date.
    Thanks for any replies in advance.

    I presume this happens due to a compatibility issue between some drivers and SP1
    > After checking these forums, I've seen that Toshiba does not currently support SP1 is that correct?
    Yes this is right.
    > If so, when/how will we be notified when Toshiba release a "patch" for Vista SP1 compatibility? I'm guessing via the TEMPO service?
    I think there should be information on the Toshiba driver page, support page or we will receive some information from Toshiba via Tempo applications.
    We will see

  • Sleep and Hibernate does not work after BIOS update X1 Carbon 20A8

    As subject title, did a recent Lenovo "System Update" on BIOS and other drivers, and since then sleep and hibernate no longer works, when i close the lid, it turns on by itself after 2 seconds.
    When i select Sleep or Hibernate in Windows 8.1 with lid open, it just behaves like a Restart command.
    Need this fixed! Any ideas?

    Try downgrading to your older BIOS and see if it works again.

    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.

    It seems thats the only fix, its been fine since

    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

    My Tablet S suffers sleep of death problem after upgrading to ICS r5.
    I did factory reset several days ago and it seemed the problem has gone.

    Hi,
    This is called the blue screen of death, and here is a WIKI article talking about it:

  • Every morning I have a message saying my iMac has restarted due to a Sleep Wake Failure problem.  What is this and how do I fix it?

    I have a new iMac14 with Yosemite.  Every morning I now find a message saying my iMac has been restarted due to a "Sleep Wake Failure" problem and that a problem report has been generated.  How do I fix this or even figure out what is wrong? 

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Hypervisor disables Sleep and Hibernate on Windows Server 2012R2! Why? How to solve?

    Hi,
    according to the official documentation of Microsoft, Hyper-V does not block Sleep and Hibernate on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
    From powercfg I get the following output:
    The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
    The system firmware does not support this standby state.
    An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
    Hypervisor
    Standby (S2)
    The system firmware does not support this standby state.
    An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
    Hypervisor
    Standby (S3)
    An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
    Hypervisor
    Hibernate
    An internal system component has disabled hibernation.
    Hypervisor
    Standby (Connected)
    The hypervisor does not support this standby state.
    The system firmware does not support this standby state.
    Hybrid Sleep
    Standby (S3) is not available.
    Hibernation is not available.
    The hypervisor does not support this standby state.
    Fast Startup
    Hibernation is not available.I already installed a graphics device driver to prevent the graphics device from blocking Sleep and Hyper-V. So this should not be an issue. What can I do to enable Sleep and Hibernate?Regards,Daniel

    personally... I'd just...
    That's what I'm zeroing in on. I'm sure that whatever you and Mark do in your environments makes perfect sense in those environments. But, those are two environments out of millions. For my "personally", I'd like to do whatever I can to prevent these forums
    from becoming a place where someone doing things differently is intimidated out of posting further, by telling them things like "that's not what you want" without really knowing what it is they want. I know of at least one popular tech forum like that, and
    it's now dominated by halfmins who are revered for their post count, not because they know anything. I'm not trying to say that's what either of you are trying to do or that you're not both perfectly capable experts. It's just that there are certain behaviors
    I think we should all rise above on these forums.
    I maintain that the real issue here is that, as the OP points it, it's advertised to work, therefore it should work. Workarounds and alternate solutions are nice, and I don't think anyone is complaining about them just being presented, but ultimately they're
    not the point.
    I understand your position about just shutting it down and I'm sure that's valid in the situations you encounter. What happens to me is that I'm hammering on some code for CoreFig in my Win7 box while testing on a Hyper-V Server in the background. The phone
    rings, I get distracted, and six days later, I still have a Hyper-V Server running full-bore that I'm doing absolutely nothing with. It has to be on a physical machine because I can load Hyper-V Server in a VM, but I can't put active VMs on it. It has to be
    on Hyper-V Server and not Client Hyper-V because A) it's meant for Server and uses features only found on Server and B) I tell end users that it was tested on Server and being truthful is sort of my thing. So, I think I have a valid use case for sleep. I have
    to assume there are any number of others out there.
