Y40-70 freezes after Windows 10 Upgrade when in sleep mode

Hello,  I have a y40-70 that is newly upgraded to windows 10 with all of the new drivers from the lenovo downloads page. Over the past couple of days I have noticed that when I close the lid of my laptop to put it into sleep mode, the comuter will boot back up after a time and remain frozen, with a black screen and the two left LED's on the front lit up. The only thing that unfreezes the laptop is to force a restart by holding down the power button.  I am wondering if anyone has encountered this problem, or perhaps a solution?  

FYI: Long post ahead! So trying to do a clean instal was quite an adventure! I wasn't able to roll back to 8.1 because of reasons, apparently. The recovery options would just say that there had been an error and I couldn't do it. What I ended up having to do was to use One Key Recovery to restore the factory image, which comes with all of Lenovo's software. Thinking that this might be a source of possible conflict, I downloaded the Windows 8.1 media creation tool and used it to create a bootable USB on a 16 GB USB drive. Using that, I wiped the OS partition and did a clean install of Win8.1. Because the product key is embedded in the BIOS, you don't have to enter it in manually (just skip that step if it asks you) and the first time you connect to the internet, it will automatically activate after several minutes. After that, I grabbed the Windows 10 media creation tool. Here's where I ran into a weird issue. When creating the bootable USB stick for Win10 and trying to install from it, everything moved at a glacial pace. I let it run for over 12 hours and it never got past 67% of step 2! Meanwhile Win8.1 installed in about 20 minutes. What I ended up having to do is use the Win10 media creation tool to do an in place upgrade. Each time you run the tool it asks if you want to upgrade the current PC or to create media to install on a different PC. If you choose to upgrade the current PC, it will download Win10 and install it on the laptop. The download and installation together took me around 40 minutes, but your time may vary depending on your download speed. After it downloads the Win10 files, it will give you options as to what you want to keep on your current install. Since I wanted this to be as clean as I could make it, changed the default, "keep files and settings," to "keep nothing." It will wipe Win8.1 and do a clean install of Win10 when doing this. The install went well and I'm in the process of installing the various Lenovo drivers. I'm not quite done yet as I ran out of time yesterday when I was doing all this becuase I had to go to work. So far though, I've had 0 problems after doing this clean installation of Win10. I'm going to finish installing the drivers and my software over the next day or two and keep testing to see if I can reproduce the issues we've been having. I'll keep you guys updated. Hopefully this will help, since it doesn't seem that either MS or Lenovo is doing much to figure out what's going on and provide their own fixes.

  • GT70 BSOD or Stuck after Windows puts it to sleep mode of turns off monitor

    Hi Everyone!
    i have an  issue (or 2) with my laptop.
    both happens when:
    1) whenever i put the laptop into sleep mode or either windows does so automatically (inactive period), - the laptop will go to sleep just fine.
    2) windows turns off monitor after a period of inactivity. (sleep mode due to inactivity was disabled in this case)
    in both the cases i mentions above, if i wake the computer within lets say 5 minutes, it'll turn on just fine.
    but after a certain period of time passes it wont.
    with the sleep mode, the computer will wake and will then produce a BSOD STOP error 0x4 and restart.
    with monitor turned off it'll simply wont turn on, not responding to neither keyboard, mouse or power button. - i have to do a hard reboot
    any ideas?
    anything i can check?
    note the laptop just came back from a warranty repair, so all parts have been tested and been found ok!
    system specs:
    MSI GT70-0ND
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (Intel GPU HD 4000 included)
    Memory: 16GB DDR3
    Storage: 750GB HDD 7200rpm
                   128GB SSD (Patriot Pyro SE) - OS installed on this.
    GPU: 4GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 675MX
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    Thanks in Advance!!

    i dont think i have the same problem as in the other thread.
    my bios:
    my laptop doesnt restart when my screen is turned off and i try to wake it. it would simply wont wake up.
    and my BSOD happens only after i wake the laptop from sleep mode and only if it been in sleep mode for a while. meaning i if i wake it up within a few mins of going to sleep it'll boot justfine.

  • Can't access old ver. 9, 11 & 13 clips after Windows upgrade

    In Sept. 2014 I downloaded PE 13 from B&H, worked fine and was able to access old PE9 & PE11 clips.  In Dec. 2014 had problems with Wind. 7 Home Ed. and had to upgrade to 8.1 (decided on Pro).  Installed 8.1 Pro end of Dec. 2014 and bought PE 13 DVD from B&H to reinstall after I backed up my hard drive.  Problem after install of 8/1 Pro and installing PE13 from DVD I can't access and restore old clips from 9, 11 & 13.  Tried everything I can think of....any suggestions PLEASE!

    Very good, I completely understand.  Please understand "I am not a computer geek!"
    With the old computer system, you have Premiere Elements 9, 11, and 13 projects. And, you import media into each and see thumbnails for each of your imports in the project media area of the program (in version 11 and 13, called Project Assets).  CORRECT!  Please as we go forward I have the PE 13 that was downloaded from B&H and worked perfectly with my previous assets in PE 9 & 11.
    When you go to open a project in one of these programs and go to the project media area, do the source media thumbnails still show as before with image in the thumbnail? Or does the thumbnail have a display of circular arrows? If the present as before, can you drag the file from the project media area to the Timeline? If you cannot, it that the problem? NO!  (First info is when I set up my new PE 13 after copying all data to a 1T desk drive and loaded Windows 8.1 Pro to replace my Windows 7 Home Edition, I set up the PE 13 and used 64 bit as suggested.)  NOW...When I locate my previous Project Assets on the 1T drive they show as "red blocks" with a play arrow in them where previously were thumbnails, but I can't retrieve them.  As such there is nothing to add to the timeline.  Last night I added to the NEW PE 13 a 22 min program I'm working on.  I have all those assets, thumbnails and everything is working as wonderfully as it did in 9, 11 and downloaded 13.
    Now in response to a previous question you asked:
    1. When you open Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you see a list of presets when you explore
    the Presets" field there?  NO.... I can get to /Computer but there is no QuickTime there!  I did download QuickTime yesterday after your suggestion.
    2. You wrote
    Restarted PE13 and received the message "The selected file cannot be played becuse your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
    Where are you getting the selected file---- from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace Project Assets to where it was imported originally from a hard drive save location?
    Or other? What is the specific full name of one of these files that is giving the error message?
    With everything I've been trying, I'll have to recreate this series of events to answer directly.
    When you did the switch from Windows 7 Home to Windows 8.1, did you go 64 bit to 64 bit or 32 bit to 64 bit in operating system?  Help me with a way to determine what the bit was on 9 & 11!
    Were two separate computers involved or did you manage to change the operating all on one computer?  All on one Computer
    The major focus for me right now is to make sure I know what file triggers the ".....not have the required compressoer/decompressor (codec)"? And to know that
    you are in the Premiere Elements 13 Editor and not the Organizer 13 workspace.  Help me understand!!!!  I know the difference between "Add Media", "Project Assets", "Organizer", "Editor" and "Workspace".  But "Project Assets" and "Workspace" are part of "Editor", so I don't understand your question.

  • How do I start up my computer when the screen is black after "waking" it up from sleep mode and/or turning it on from the shut down?

    I really need help! I just got this MacBook Air almost two weeks ago. It is a refirbished one. Now lately, when I put it to sleep and then get back to it, it won't wake up. It just gives me a black screen and a running noise. Sometimes it does it too when I shut it down. And sometimes it will work fine as if it never happens-i move the mouse and the computer starts up. I am deaf and living on campus for school, so there is no chance for me to get some help through a simple phone call and there is no nearby apple stores or providers.
    Please help me, I do not want to go back to my Dell computer.
    Ronni.

    I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

  • When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal. Was 5.0.1. update to 5.1 but no changes

    When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal. iOS was 5.0.1, update to 5.1 but no changes.
    Battery problem, anntena or motherboard? pleas help.

    it could be a motherboard problem. Last month I spilled liquid on to my iphone and since I didn't have warranty for it I had to take it to a "phone doctor". He fixed it but mentioned that motherboard is working fine but he can not say for sure for how long it will last, and that I may experience some wierd problems. I'm having this exact problem the day I got my iphone back.
    Well no longer but the solution still seems wierd. I turned on the "location services" because I saw in the "system services" screen that "cell network search" was turned on. I figured if I don't screw with location services, it would be okay. So, after three hours, I terminated the sleep in 10-20-30 minutes and 1 hour intervals, it seems I no longer have the problem but I'm going to sleep over it to be sure. Also make sure to turn on the "auto" option on the "carrier" menu.
    I will post the outcome if I don't forget about this page.

  • 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.

  • HT204267 My Macbook Pro 13 refuses to turn on after i place it in sleep mode by closing the lid.

    My Macbook Pro 13 refuses to turn on after i place it in sleep mode by closing the lid, after opening the lid the led sleep indicator is still on and the screen hasn't revived but once i press any button to revive it, it goes off and refuses to turn on. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello Carlens J,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep, and shuts down when you try to wake it.
    Try these troubleshooting steps to remedy the situation, or if your Mac is currently not powering on:
    OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake - Apple Support
    Reset SMC
    The System Management Controller (SMC) is involved in managing power on your computer. Reset the SMC on your Mac if you are having difficulty sleeping or waking your computer.
    Reset NVRAM/PRAM
    Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)/Parameter RAM (PRAM) stores some power-related settings.Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM if you are having difficulty sleeping or waking your computer.
    Test with external devices disconnected
    Some external devices can prevent your computer from sleeping. Try disconnecting items other than your Apple keyboard or mouse from the built-in USB, Thunderbolt and Firewire ports on your Mac. If this resolves the issue, try reconnecting your external devices one at a time until you find the device preventing sleep or wake. Check the documentation that came with the device, or contact the device manufacturer for more information.
    Try Safe Mode
    Check to see if the issue still occurs when the computer is started in Safe Mode. If this resolves the issue, it could be related to a third party software item such as:
    a login item
    a startup item
    a third party kernel extension
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Network disconnect when in sleep mode

    Hi all.
    Since I've installed Mountain Lion, any time the computer goes into sleep mode, networking do the same: I cannot download files, when the computer wakeup I have to wait the reconnection before being able to use mail, safari or ather network stuff.
    I did not find any option to set, telling the computer waht to do when in sleep mode.
    WIth Lion and preceding OsX this was not an issue.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks.
    Federico.

    Hi,
    Yes, clear "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the properties of network adapter\Power management as mentioned in the link provided by arnavsharma, and check if the issue persists.

  • Strange noises when in sleep mode???

    Hello,
    Have had my brand new 27 inch iMac for about 3 weeks now. This is my first Mac computer. When in sleep mode the iMac sounds like it wants to start up and then there is a clicking sound. Just wondering if this is normal. . .or, should I shut the computer down?
    Thanks.

    To me any clicking sound is not normal unless on a Mouse or Trackpad.  Do not delay to have it investigated, take a look at Apple returns and refunds from here....  http://store.apple.com/uk/help/returns_refund

  • Phone not ringing when in sleep mode

    Over last few days have had problem with iPhone 4S not ringing when in sleep mode. I have just spoken to Apple support. I had do not disturb scheduled , but this was staying on all the time , which I hadn't realised. This is a fault which should be sorted by 7th Jan. hope this helps anyone else with same problem, as I did search this site first.

    This is the exact problem i'm having right now, I don't know why it's happening, but when i have it on the desk and when it's in sleep mode, I can get phonecalls and it won't ring but it won't show up as missed calls either, if i get a voice message i'll get it if i take it out of sleep mode and let it sit with full reception for a minute.
    I also lose all reception while in sleep mode.

  • When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal only recently doing this and because it's searching for signal battery not lasting very long please help

    When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but as soon as its on again it searches and finds signal easily but because of this not getting calls or text msges and because it's searching for signal all the time battery not lasting

    Here are some observations and a suggestion.
    1)  I mentioned before, that the number of views of this discussion forum is fast approaching 100,000.  I suppose relative to all iPhones sold that is not a great percentage, but 100,000 still sounds pretty impressive to me.  Consider also that many people probably have this same Sim problem and are not viewing this discussion forum because thay do not know it exists.  How many people are REALLY experiencing this problem?  Who knows.  But I suspect it is more that 100,000.
    2)  To the best of my knowledge, Apple does not consult these forums as a guide to awareness of product performance.  It may be company policy, but most of the time when I speak to an Apple employee they seem remarkably unaware of the "Top Stories" in the Apple Discussion Forum.  This, despite the fact that my personal experience with customer service at Apple is excellent.  So, as much as we of this discussion forum are confident SOMEONE important at Apple is reading all our posts and taking them to heart...I am not so sure.
    3)  I have been told over and over that the best way to gain Apple's attention regarding a problem is to post a comment on their Feedback Site.  One comment about a problem is pretty worthless.  100,000 comments on the same issue, I'm guessing, will really get their attention.
    4)  Some folks have mentioned a recall to address this problem.  Although such a thing is always a possibility, I don't see it happening.  Why?  When the brakes on a Toyota don't work, or that Toyata starts to accelerate without driver intention...well, that involves human life and the stakes are quite high.  For many reasons you would see the automotive industry eventually be forced into a recall program under such a situation.  But, a phone APPEARS to not nearly be such a life and death device.  Or is it?  My daughter's iPhone 4S developed a "SIM FAILURE" on the same day her car broke down in the middle of the very rural area we live at around 10:00 pm.  She is 17 years old and was coming home from high school play practice.  You can imagine the anxiety I and her mother felt when she did not arrive home on time.  She eventually walked about a quarter mile to a house of a stranger and had to ask to use their phone to call us.  Now, I am not saying that strangers where I live are not to be trusted.  But, in addition to being worried out of my mind, I was not happy that an inoperative iPhone 4S caused my daughter to be put in this situation.  My biggest concern now is...when will my daughter's iPhone become inoperative again due to SIM FAILURE?
    5)  The more folks in this discussion forum who post a comment about this issue in Apple's feedback site the more pressing this issue is going to be perceived by Apple.  So, I like others, encourage all of you to do so.  If this seems like a lot of effort, I offer you these few sentences below that you could just copy and paste into the feedback site.
    The link to feedback site is:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Feel free to use copy/amend/whatever the following as you wish:
    Dear Apple,
    I wish to register a strong concern about my iPhone's unpredictable inoperability due to failures somehow associated with it's SIM technology.  For me, I do not consider this just a significant lack of convenience, but a significant safety issue.  Should I need my phone in an emergency situation where it is experiencing  a SIM FAILURE, I believe the iPhone will have put me at risk.  I would ask you to please give fixing this problem your greatest priority and effort.
    Sincerely, XXXX

  • Mac book air mid 2013, warms to approx 65 degrees when in sleep mode for 2 to 3 hrs?

    Hello,
    I have recently noticed that my macbook air mid 2013 warms up to approx 65 degs when in sleep mode for 2 hours or when I am doing my normal work. I am running Mevricks and I also use a moshi key board cover. Is it a cause of concern??

    The keys without covers already transfer to a small degree finger oil to the LCD screen of the Air, even the thinnest keyboard covers place pressure on the LCD, however normally this would have no bearing unless stowed away in a pack with pressure, nevertheless causing dirt and oils is increased with covers to transfer more to the LCD, ....Macbook Air as well. 
    Beware of keyboard covers and using same
    Beware of using thick keyboard covers on your Macbook, some pretty ones sold online are rather thick and upon closing your monitor, touch the screen and transfer more finger/hand oil to the LCD but at worst press excessively on the LCD display, especially in the case of the Air and newest Macbook Pro Retina. There is ultimately very little purposeful use of these keyboard covers if you keep your hands clean, additionally they do not protect against spills as many people presume they do; directly yes, but at the edges no. They also making typing a more challenging experience and run a fine line between 'serves no purpose' and 'possibly damaging'.
    Screen covers protect against nothing and place an unwanted layer between the LCD and viewing, additionally if you dont touch same or dont have any pets that might claw at the screen there is no logical reason to have a screen shield.
    dust will accumulate regardless.    Realistically what are you trying to protect the screen from.  The back is solid aluminum alloy, the front LCD viewing screen should never be intentionally touched.
    outside of a sneeze or some debris which an extremely lightly damp cloth can remove, all else is dust. ...
    Use a soft paintbrush or makeup brush for cleaning
    One very useful tool for cleaning dust from the LCD screen, the hinge area of your notebook and around the keyboard, is a very soft inexpensive small paintbrush or a makeup brush. The less you wipe your LCD screen with anything like a cloth, the better. This small brush is very handy, quick, and ideal for removing dust from around and on your notebook.
