X301 problems after installing driver updates - won't come out of sleep mode

We have a new X301 with Vista 32 installed. Things were working fine until I ran system update the other day. I've set the power options so not shutdown hibernate, however, after a period of time the system seems to go to sleep or to a screen saver and will not come out of whatever state it is in. The only solution is to power off/on the system.
I have an X500 where there were display driver problems if there was an external monitor (dual monitor) attached. The only thing I can think of is that either there is some similar issue with the X301 since we have an external monitor attached or there is something that was messed up with the drivers that were installed. I do have (for now) restore points before these drivers were installed but I'm not ready to take that drastic step yet (or a full system restore and start over).
Anyone experience this type of issue or have any suggestions?
Thanks
Neil

Sadly, I had the issue resurface today. It went into standby/sleep mode while I was in a meeting (on battery power), and later I tried to wake it, and all I got was a black screen with a mouse cursor.
The keyboard brightness and volume keys on the keyboard were responsive (I could hear the audio level clicks as I changed it), but the visual overlay didn't show (where it shows the white speaker graphic with the bar of rectangles representing volume level). Also, the screen brightness keys did nothing.
I finally used Ctrl + Cmd + Power to force a restart. Luckily, my user account didn't get completely hosed like it did a couple weeks ago.
So, it looks like Migration Assistant isn't the culprit here. This is the system I just finished rebuilding. So it's either a bug in OS X/Mavericks, or it's due to an application I have running, or a configuration change I've made.
It seems to only happen when I'm on battery power, for what that's worth. I don't recall it ever happening when I'm plugged in. I have Power Nap disabled while on battery power, btw.
I'm going to enable SSH access so I can try to SSH in the next time this happens. Perhaps that will provide useful diagnostic info.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

  • U410 Touch won't come out of sleep mode

    I've been having some serious issues with my 3 month old ideapad U410 touch. I first started having problems after installing Windows 8.1. There were many compatibility issues and I had to do a restore to factory settings to go back to Windows 8. That was a pain. Then I continued having errors messages regarding the Intel Rapid Start Technology, so I called Lenovo support. The technician helped me get into BIOS and disable the IRST, but then my computer took much longer to boot and it would power down any time I closed the laptop. They advised me to send my computer to a warranty service center. 
    I just received my computer today. It seems as though they did not solve the problem. The first time I closed the laptop to put it into sleep mode, it would not come out of sleep mode. It would go to the windows screen, but it would not allow me to log in. I contacted support again and they told me that I should try to do a factory restore (again). They then told me that since this is a software issue and not a hardware issue that I would have to contact their paid service to get further help. This has been a very frustrating experience and I am on the verge of telling everyone I know about the poor service I've received. I was very happy with my system until about a month ago. 
    Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this issue?

  • MacBook won't come out of sleep mode.

    My MacBook freezes every time I try to wake it after I put it in sleep mode. I have to restart my computer to get anything to work. I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and never had a problem before. Are there any fixes to this, other than never putting my MacBook to sleep.

    Here is the output.  
    Index Refs Address            Size       Wired      Name (Version) <Linked Against>
       95    0 0xffffff7f81062000 0x5000     0x5000     com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver (1.0.0) <94 5 4 3>

    I don't know what all that means. I have previously removed the LogMeIn program by dragging it to the trash. I don't use it any more. Also I did boot in the guest account and it wouldn't come out of sleep mode. To be more specific, when I hit a key to get out of sleep mode all I get is the color wheel spinning on the screen as if it is trying, but nothing else happens.  I have to reboot the computer for it to work again.

  • IMac won't come out of sleep mode

    I have a mid 2010 27' iMac.  I recently installed OS-X Mavericks.  The update installed without issue and the computer, generally, works well.  The computer will, not however, wake from sleep mode. 
    When the computer wakes, I enter a password at the login screen and the system hangs indefinitely.
    Rebooting is required.
    The computer can awake from being idle and the screen switching off with no issue, but after a few hours of idle time, it just wont let anyone log in.
    This has only occurred since Mavericks was installed.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

    I think that this was being caused by my Time Capsule drive.  Time Machine had failed mid backup at tome point and new backups were failing.  I erased the Time Capsule using the Airport utility as Time Machine could only see a small proportion of the capacity of the drive.  Backups now run and the iMac wakes up immediately.

  • Computer won't come out of Sleep mode

    I just bought my first apple computer.  It worked great for 2 days.  Now it goes into a sleep mode and I can't wake it up. 

    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1896.html
    Also, open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem for clues.

  • Need help macbook won't come out of sleep mode

    Please help I have had my macbook since may of 2006 and this is my first real problem with it.
    I basically been loading videos to watch and then downloading some of the videos,once the process had been started I would leave to allow the videos to load/download but when I come back I find the macbook in a state of sleep and the only way that I can think of to getit out of this is to shut it down and reboot.
    This is my first mac and up until now I was quite impressed so please help to not soil the good Apple name.
    13" Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I'm a newbie so I might not answer your question, but if you leave the macbook open and it goes to sleep, then you just have to press the power button and it should turn back on. I always thought though that if you let it sleep, then you won't be able to download anything because the computer disconnects from the internet during sleep. Am I right? Lol, now I'm asking the questions.

  • Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update

    So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
    Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!

    Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it.  And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either.  Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

  • After maverick update mac won't come out of sleep

    After I updated to Mavericks my macbook pro wont come out of sleep modes, I will close the screen or let the computer go to sleep from inactivity and i can see that its breathing but it wont come out of sleep mode and than requires a hard shutdown. It also takes a very long time to reboot and/or restart as it sits on the gray

  • My Ipod touch won't come out of recovery mode or appear on Itunes!!

    My Ipod gen 5 won't come out of recovery mode. When I plug it into the computer, the ipod device won't show up on itunes and I have tried closing it, and it still wont show up on Itunes or get out of recovery mode! Please help me!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My laptop won't come out of sleep

    I have the Macbook Pro w/ retina display and whenever I go to open it, my laptop won't come out of sleep and I have to hold the power button to turn it off then back on again. I have to do the same thing if I walk away from it for to long and the laptop goes to sleep except this time when I bring it out of slepp it just shows the enter password for user screen but it is frozen. I got my laptop on the 8th of June 2013 so it is practicly brand new. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

    Brand new out of the box this shouldn't happen. Bring it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • Printing problems after installing Security Update 2015-002

    After installing Security Update 2015-002 on three separate computers on two different WiFi networks, printers on the network are losing their connections to the computers that can print to them. We have experienced this on a network running a Canon printer and an HP printer - both have disappeared on the network although the printer suggests it is still connected to the network. The same thing has happened on a separate network I manage with a single HP printer on that network. I have tried removing the printers, resetting the printers etc. Nothing is working. I can get one print out of a printer when I turn the printer off and then on. Three minutes later the printer is no longer connected to the computer - although still connected to the network. Please Help.

    I think I have figured out that it is in fact the Apple Extreme Base Station that is losing the printer. It is very odd because the printer is connected to the Wifi. My computer is connected to the WiFi and connecting to the internet. The Router for the internet can see the printer. An Apple Extreme is then connected via a network cable in Bridge mode to the router. When I turned the power off the The Apple Extreme and then restored power it all worked. was still working this morning, but again this afternoon I needed to reboot Apple Extreme. It is quite strange that this is happening on two different Networks in different parts of the country at the same time. Maybe the Security Update is somehow affecting/blocking communication with the printer? I just don't know enough. These networks have been up and running with the same printers and computers for years with zero problems - all of a sudden we have the same problem on both Networks.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

  • Photoshop stops working after pc comes out of 'sleep mode'

    Hello,
    Photoshop stops working lately, when I start my pc out of 'sleep mode', I get the warning box 'Photoshop CC doesn't work anymore'.
    Is this a known problem, can I do something about that? Thanks in advance!
    These are my pc specs:
    -Windows 7, Processor: Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-3770 CPU 3,40 GHz, RAM= 8 GB, 64 bit system.
    -graphic card: amd radeon hd 7700 series
    With regards,
    Marcel

    It's not "green" but I suggest never using "sleep" type operations.  Windows and its drivers have never been good at making the transitions into/out of such modes, and probably never will be.
    Just leave it running or save all your work and fully shut it down.  Allowing the display to power down may be okay as a compromise, but even that could be problematic.
    This is the experience of an entire career in software engineering talking.

  • Starting Problems after installing Software Update SecUpd2009-001ppc.pkg

    Hey Guys,
    After installing the SecureUpdate from January 2009 today my iMac just seems to freeze at startup. Only thing appears is the grey apple and the loading animation.
    *Already tried Disk Utility, fsck, and Safe Startup.*
    +-Disk Utility doesn't find any problems+
    +-fsck doesn't find any problems either+
    +-Safe Startup just doesn't work+
    What i found here in the discussion forum is the solution with the terminal. Only thing is that I won't get further till following point 6:
    *(post from nleoncavallo )*
    0. Use a second computer to download the update to a USB drive. (in theory, I imagine the update is somewhere on the hard drive, but I don't know where)
    1. Boot from the original install CD (pressing the "C" key while the computer starts)
    2. Get up to the point of the installation screen, then start Terminal
    3. type "mount" to see a list of the volumes
    4. type "find /Volumes/thenameoftheUSB/*.dmg" to get the full path of the update file (so you can copy it and paste it in step 5).
    5. type "hdiutil attach /Volumes/thenameoftheUSBdrive/pathoftheupdate/SecUpd2008-008Intel.dmg" (now you have mounted the update file)
    *6. type "/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Security\ Update\ 2008-008/SecUpd2008-008Intel.pkg -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD"*
    7. Exit Terminal and select "Startup Disk" and reboot.
    I _already checked Typo_ and i am really going crazy about this. What terminal replys:
    +"-bash: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/sbin/installer: No such file or directory"+
    Can somebody help me?

    Thank you for your fast reply!
    Maybe I should have made it clearer. This problem I've got adheres with the software update I've installed. I tried the solutions out you send me with your link but they didn't help me out. Thing is, that i forgot to say:
    After a while the grey screen disappears and instead a blue screen comes to vision. But thats it. Then nothing happens anymore.
    So far, the terminal thing gives me the most trustful feeling in this. So I still need help!
