Default Vista Sleep Issues

Hello,

I am having sleep issues as well. I am running an AT 1950 Pro with 4 gigs
of memory. When I turn my PC on, my hard-drive is contantly working, it
never seems to calm down. In addition, my PC/monitor never go to sleep. I
am baffled by this, espcially with the money I spent making this the ultimate
PC. I have noticed that my Media Player is very clunky as well. Any thought
or advice would be appreciated. I just want to know if this is a Vista issue
or something wrong with my setup.

Thanks,

Paul

rebooting when waking up. Microsoft really needs to patch this up.

The log to look in is accessed in the Event Viewer. It's listed in the
blog I linked to. You have to drill down a long ways to find it.

Yes, I installed them yesterday.

The thing is, sometimes my computer goes to sleep fine and at other
times not so well. Is there a log that I can I look at to see how the
computer shuts down drivers to compare a good sleep initiation to a bad
one?



Here's a link to a blog with some good tips for troubleshooting
sleep/resume.

Default Vista Sleep Issues

I too just received a Dell and found hard drive was set at "turn off" in the
ADVANCED SECTION of the Power Section in the control panel. Also reset in the
power management to S1 from S3. To get to this power off your CPU. Power back
on and at the blue screen hit F2 it will be in setup. Arrow dow to POWER
MANAGEMENT and do the above change.
Hope this helps.

I've been having some problems with Vista going to not fully going to sleep
and the only way to get it back is to power down and restart. Some times it
works fine and others it hangs. How can I tell what program/drivers are
still active when the computer is going to sleep? IM guessing its a driver
not fully shutting down.

Thanks,
Mike

Default Vista Sleep Issues

Have the same issue with brand new Acer Aspire 5100 - 9 times from 10 I had
to reboot the notebook after either closing the lid, or hitting sleep or
hybernate or hybrid sleep commands from Start menu or just leaving laptop
working for a while. Each time it looks like HD and monitors shuts down, but
vent and wireless are working, no buttons work, only restatring it by
pressing power button helps. Laptop has newest ATI drivers installed and
latest BIOS from Acer (v2.7).
Found this problem is quite common for different types of laptops:

Please help by advise or fix.

Default Vista Sleep Issues

Same problem with sleep mode. This is an upgrade version of vista home
premium from XP media center edition running on new Compaq presario SR1960AP.
Always experience unexpected reboot when I woke up the system from
sleep/hybernate mode. I realise this is a permanent problem when it happens
every time I wake the system up.

I have check the memory compatibility with memtest sofware...no errors.

The system recognise that 'windows recovered from unexpected shutdown'
problem after rebooting, with error message as follows:

Problem Signatu

Problem event name: blue screen
OS version : 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locate ID: 1033
BC Code : 19
BCP1 : 00000020
BCP2 : 842D1F40
BCP3 : 842D1F50
BCP4 : 08020005

I have located the minidump file.

Really appreciate help and assistance here. Thanks

Default Vista Sleep Issues

I'm having the same issues with my new build. I'm using Vista Ultimate 32-bit
OEM and sleep will work at times and other times will just turn off my
display and hangs the system. Only a reset will get it out. I have the new
8800GTX graphics card and I have updated the drivers to the newest Vista
32-bit drivers version 100.65 but I'm still having the same problems.

This seems to be a very common issue for Vista and I'm surprised that
Microsoft hasn't addressed this issue or atleast reply to this thread with
some feedback.

How do you disable the power plan on Vista? I am having the same issues and
have to shut off the computer and restart with errors all over again.

Type "power options" into HELP & SUPPORT

There are three plans to chose from, and each of those can be modified
by clicking the "change plan settings", then the "change advanced
settings" links.

I know how to change the power plan options, but how do you just turn them
off so it doesn't go to the power plan at all? I went through the options
and changed the hard disk to never....

Where did you get drivers for your ati1950pro for windows vista. I just got
a HIS ATI 1950 Pro and the driver disk that came with it is not even
recognized by my computer as a disk. when i put it in and try to run it the
cdrom opens and tells me to insert a disk. I downloaded drivers from the HIS
website however they would not load properly. just wondering if you ran into
problems with yours.

Ok. I have got the same problem after upgrading from XP SP2 what I did was to
do a clean installation and now it is working fine. Hope it helps.
