T60 Type 2623 Blue Screen on Resume from Sleep Mode problem solved - XP Pro

I hope that this post ends some frustrations for some people.
I hope that IBM deals with this issue by getting ATI to fix the video driver issue.
After three months of tracking down blue screens when resuming from Sleep Mode and some lockups while working, I have identified the problem on my T60 Type 2623 running Windows XP-Pro and all service packs and updates. The Sleep Mode resume issues were intermittant and it would be fine for a day or two and then reboot on Resume or reboot every time I used Resume for a while. For months the Blue Screen would reboot and attempt to send the message to Microsoft using the logs, but the logs were always corrupted. I disabled every driver that I could and the problem continued for months.
The problem solution came about when I decided to try my Rhapsody Music account after many months of not using it. I kept getting a message about DRM (Digital Right Management) being disabled and Rhapsody software could not self-fix this. So I finally called Rhapsody and they spent over an hour with me trying to get Rhapsody to work. The support person asked me about my computer and I noted that it was an IBM T60. He then asked about my Video Card and I responded that it was an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. After a few minutes on hold he asked about my driver version which was 8.442.3-080103a1-057754C the set from January 31, 2008. He noted that there is a known problem wit the 8.4 driver and it interferes with DRM. He had me go to control panel Settings and Hardware and then roll-back the driver to the prior version.
After a reboot, the DRM issue was solved and I soon discovered that my resume from Sleep mode no longer crashed. In fact it has been fine and crash free for over a month now. I have noted that the older driver can sometimes resize my screen to something like 600 X 800 if I close the lid under certain circumstances, but that is just a function key reset to get my normal desktop resolution back. At least it is not a blue screen reboot with a corrupted log file.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately I could not fix the problem so I wiped my system and loaded all new drivers before I found this posting.
Is there a way to get the old ATI driver that works? The only one available on the ATI and Lenovo website is the latest one with the problem. I agree with you David, Lenovo should have fixed this problem already with ATI.

Screen flickers when resuming from sleep mode

I have a newly brought T430 laptop with the Nvdia graphics card. Sometimes when I resume from sleep mode, the screen flickers before entering into the desktop view.
Is this a problem or normal? I hope nothing is wrong with my gpu. Is there a way to check?
Thanks!

It is definitely not a Leopard bug because it has been happening on every portable Mac I've ever had.
I don't agree. I had no problems at all with my MacBook Pro running Tiger. I initially did an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and when the problems started I assumed it was a problem with the upgrade. I then completely erased and did a clean install of Leopard. The problem has actually gotten worse since I did the clean re-install.

Just close the screen, wait for it to go back to sleep, then open it again. It will probably be fine.
As I mentioned in my opening post, I've gone through that song and dance more times than I can count. I've closed it, waited for as much as an hour, opened it back up...same problem. I've hard powered it down, closed it, disconnected the AC adapter, removed the battery, opened it, held down the power button for 15 seconds, re-installed the battery, reconnected the AC adapter, pushed the power button, and the display will still be dark. It's sometimes taken as many as 5 or 6 iterations of that process before it will finally reset whatever problem it was having and boot normally with a functioning display.

T61 - WWAN does not connect when resuming from sleep mode

Hi.
I have a T61 with integrated WWAN, which works perfectly - except I use sleep mode a lot, and when i resume from sleep mode, WWAN doesn't connect, I always get the same error - IP configuration failed. If I restart my OS, WWAN works normally again.
So far i have tried on Windows XP, Vista 32, Vista 64 and Windows 7 32 bit - always the same!
I connect via Access Connections, maybe there is a known issue?
Thank you, B

This bugs me as well. With the new Verizon software I just installed, it says "Adapter Disabled" when I resume from sleep.
I suspect a driver bug that needs to be adressed.
I use Vista Business 32bit, but had the same problem with XP.

Sound not staying muted when resuming from Sleep mode

The subject says it all. When I resume from Sleep mode the sound is not staying muted. I have found a third party app to get around this but I would rather solve it without having to run something else in startup.
I have a HP Pavilion dv7-2206tx Entertainment Notebook running Windows 7 with all the latest updates installed.
Anyone know how to prevent this from happening?

Have you seen if the problem occurs if you use the nouveau drivers?
I'm sorry dude, but there is something wrong with you!! In every thread, you just ask or make lame @$$ statements.
cfr is a regular presence around here and helps quite a lot of people. He was trying to get clarification so that your problem could be further debugged. You may think that his statements are "lame ass" but you attitude is "asshole". Don't come here looking for help and then tell those trying to help you that their help sucks.

High CPU load after resuming from sleep mode

When my laptop resumes from sleep mode, LabVIEW 2012 starts to generate a very high and always constant CPU load (25%) without any VI running. I need to close all front panels to get back to the usual <1% CPU load level.
This behaviour spoils my carbon footprint and frequently eats up my battery. Any ideas what is causing this ?
Thank you,
Dirk

I'm guessing your issue may be related to this:

Build 9926 - blue screen after resume from long sleep

I installed Windows Technical Preview build 9841 in October, 4 days after it came out, via an upgrade, keeping everything, from the factory 8.1 (Toshiba with all the bloatware). The drive was almost empty at this point and I had installed only a couple
of programs when I made the upgrade. I successfully upgraded to 9860 then 9879 the day those came out, and hadn't had any issues. Two days after installing 9879, I installed Linux Mint 17 KDE on a seperate 66GiB partition. Now I run a dual boot between Windows
10 Pro Technical Preview (build 9926) and Kubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet preview. I hadn't had any problems with my laptop except for the very rare blue screen, until I tried installing Google Chrome Canary (under build 9879). It blue screened (BAD_POOL_CALLER
I think) and it now does it after I resume from sleep (an overnight sleep where it hibernates or something) and I lift up the login screen. I think I'm the only one with this problem, so what can I do about it? Thanks

PH
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem. Please run verifier first
If you are over-clocking anything reset to default before running these tests.
In other words STOP!!!
If you do not know what this means you probably are not
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)

Black screen on resume from sleep using open source AMD/ATI driver

When waking from sleep using systemctl suspend or pm-suspend , I am presented with a black screen. I can still open programs, type, etc. but cannot see what I am doing. I usually just wind up rebooting from whatever terminal I had open, but again I can't see what I am typing. Upon reboot, the screen starts back up again. Everything else seems to resume from sleep just fine, it's just the screen that won't turn back on.
I came from Ubuntu and had this same problem there. However, I only had this problem when using the open source xf86-video driver; when using the proprietary drivers, I was able to suspend/resume just fine. So it seems this problem is specific to the open source drivers.
If I'm using an external monitor, my external monitor will resume just fine after waking from sleep, but the laptop screen will not.
Googling around shows this is a common problem with AMD/ATI cards, and after a lot of attempts and failures I'm interested in knowing if anyone else has solved this problem.
What I've tried so far (without success):
-various quirks included with pm-utils to turn on dpms after resume
-xrandr after resumption from sleep
==xrandr --output LVDS --off (If used without suspending (so while the screen still works) this seems to crash Gnome the first time around, but Gnome automatically restarts. If used a second time, it completely blanks the screen and requires a reboot)
==xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1600x900
-xset dpms force on or xset dpms force off after resumption from sleep
-vbetool dpms off and vbetool dpms on results in error message "Real mode call failed"
-scripts using vbetool or xrandr when resuming from sleep
-switching between virtual consoles and gnome using alt-ctrl-fn-f1 and alt-ctrl-fn-f2 keys
My setup:
-HP Envy dv7
-UEFI dual-boot with Windows 8
-AMD Radeon HD 7640G
-xf86-video-ati 1:7.2.0-1 driver
-Gnome DE using GDM login manager
Thank you.
EDIT: I did try using the proprietary drivers for a time, but found I couldn't adjust my brightness. At first I thought working suspension > adjustable brightness, but I quickly changed my mind after one night of trying to work on an unadjustable maximally bright screen.

IMac has empty blue screen on waking from sleep

My iMac goes to a blue empty screen when waking from sleep. No login. No desktop shows up. Any ideas or explanations? I am working on clearing off hard drive space - currently about 100GB available on 1TB system. But I do not know if that could be a cause.
Thanks for any help you can give.

As far as resetting the SMT, my only option was to hold the power button down and force the system off anyway, since I couldn't see anything.
I did reset the PRAM, which ended up being disastrous! Instead of encountering the problem each time the system went to sleep like what had been happening, after I reset the PRAM, it started doing it immediately during startup. I couldn't even get to the desktop. The computer was completely unusable!
If I hadn't had a spare monitor around, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with my computer! Interestingly, the problem doesn't occur with my old Apple Studio Display, just my new Apple Cinema Display.
You better revert to 10.5.4 and stay with it until this is resolved.

Error in AJAX call when resume from Sleep mode?

We have developed a HTML5 web app and added it to home screen the app is working fine. But the AJAX call is not working when we resume the app from SLEEP MODE. If the app keep opened.
THIS ISSUE COMES ONLY IN iOS8.
Please give the solution for the above issue.
Thanks
Harish S

Sounds like maybe the eject mecinisim is stuck..? Try inserting a CD or DVD and then Eject it to see if that makes a difference.
If not, try reseting both the SMC and PRAM
as per > Resetting the System Management Controller
and > Resetting your Mac's PRAM
Then if it is still acting up, contact Apple or your local AASP

Apple TV needs Restart for Airplay especially after resuming from Sleep Mode

1. I always have to restart my Apple TV for Airplay when I resume it from Sleep Mode. Neither my MAC not my PC nor my iPhone/iPad can connect to Airplay if it's not retsarted. I did a complete Factory Reset of Apple TV thinking it would be the best way of troubleshooting but in vein. Any help/suggestion/tips from anybody please?
2. Also - Does Apple TV needs internet always for Airplay? I guess that should work on the LAN even if there is no internet connectivity, Correct?

Black screen after waking from sleep mode - Compaq Presario CQ5110F

My mother's computer has been having the problem listed in the subject -- after waking from sleep mode, the monitor just stays black, and won't come back. After trying everything I could find online, I eventually found the bios update which claims to fix the exact issue. The problem is that I guess my mother had opted to upgrade to Windows 7, while the bios update seems to only work for Windows Vista, as I get the following error message: "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canceleld. (9998)." I've tried running the update in Vista compatibility mode, with no luck. I've tried using a different monitor, I've updated all the drivers, Windows Updates are all current, I've cleared CMOS. Any idea on how to fix this? It's very recent; only for about the past 2 weeks has this been happening, while we've had the computer for over 3 years. It's quite a waste of energy to keep it on all day.

Hello liltwix,
When taking your computer out of safe mode the screen just remains black, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
I understand you upgraded from Vista to 7, was that when the issue started or has the computer had windows 7 installed for some time before this problem started?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Thin vertical lines appearing on screen, since wakeup from sleep mode.

My Mac G5, 2GHz, DVD-R, 1GB DDR RAM, OSX 10.4.10, ATI RADEON X800 XT has recently developed a display issue. On start-up the screen shows vertical lines across the entire screen. The colors of theses lines is varying from green to black, depending of the background color. The lines are appearing from the grey loading screen and when a profile is logged in.
Shutting down and restarting doesn't cure the problem, nor does staring in safe mode nor starting up from an install CD. I also tried re-installing the operating system, but I get the same result. I tried another monitor but I also get the lines on screen. I verified all the cables and that the graphic card is well in place in the pci slot.
If I change the resolution, I also get thoses lines but they change place on screen. Also, if I set the colors level to 256 colors, I get very little single lines but If I set the color level to the highest (36,7 Millions), the lines appears in group of 5+ and are all over the screen.
I tried taking a screenshot using the shortcut cmd-shift-3 and I can see the line in the pictures. Also, if I take a screenshot of a window that is behind the window in the front ( using cmd-shift-4-space ), I dont see the line on the screen shot.
I started to have this problem when my mac was woke up from sleep mode and the problem has persisted since then.
I guess my problem is the graphic card but I would like an external opinion before I got buy another one.
Thanks

Any new results?
I'm having the same issue. Looks like this, but at a slight angle and different RGB colors (almost like JPG artifacting).
Started this evening after a cold boot. I just put my X800 XT Mac G5 edition in 2 weeks ago. No real heavy use either, as I've been gone for a week.
Looks to me like bad VRAM (according to TechTool Deluxe). I'm running the AHT now and will hopefully come to a final conclusion soon. I did test my 20" Apple monitor (DVI) with my laptop and there was no problem...so it is definitely the video card. Not sure if the aforementioned ATI ROM extender will fix it or not.
Much luck to all of us who are having this problem.

Geforce GTX 550 Ti doesn't resume from sleep mode sometimes after BIOS update

Hi there,
I updated the BIOS of my main board Z68A GD65 (G3) yesterday to the latest version on the MSI site (E7681IMS.P80) and I noticed that my PC doesn't always resume correctly from sleep mode now.
It seems that it works when I resume immediately, but after a nights rest the display remains black, although it looks like the PC itself is starting correctly (mouse, keyboard hdd etc)
Anyone know what this could be? Should i change a setting in the BIOS maybe?
Marcel

I`ve updated BIOS but problem wasn`t solved.
Did someine else face with problem?
Thanks.

Returning from sleep mode problem

Occasionally, when I open my MacBook from sleep mode, the login screen looks faded, the print is very faint and is shifted to the left. I can type and put in my password, and when I hit enter, it takes me to the normal login screen. But then my mouse will not move. I can tap the spacebar and click on my trackpad, and after about 10-15 seconds the mouse will move and I can click, sign in, etc. and when I sign in everything is normal, so it really doesn't affect my use but it is a little concerning. I already reset my PRAM, which an apple worker told me to do, but it didn't change anything. Anyway, help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It just happened again, and I was able to read the message that flashes on screen (very sporadic): "Not Optimum Mode" and something along the lines of switch to 1680x1050? with a big question mark icon. I'm wondering if the Mac is trying to force a higher resolution on the monitor when it comes back from sleep mode, even though I have it set at 1680x1050?
