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 "cdod" wrote: The fact is that there are serious problems with sleep mode. I finally diabled it and all my troubles went away - no more freezing, no more rebooting when waking up. Microsoft really needs to patch this up.

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. "mhornet" wrote: 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 |

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: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...75893&SiteID=1 Please help by advise or fix.

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 |

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. "cdod" wrote: The fact is that there are serious problems with sleep mode.

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. "pslous" wrote: Hello, I am having sleep issues as well.

Ok. I have got the same problem after upgrading from XP SP2 what I did was to
