Default Vista Sleep Issues

Nothing new to add other than you are not alone. HP Tech Support tried
everything under the sun including complete system restore (which knocked out
hours and hours of tweaks and file transfers I'd done over the course of a
week), testing every power setting, every "wake" setting, new drivers for all
my hardware components, etc. In the end, sleep mode remains sporadic at
best. All sleep mode does is put the monitor to sleep, green/blue light
stays on the tower, I can hear the fans still spinning, and the only way to
do anything is to do a hard shut down with the tower power button. Then it
starts up no problem after informing me of the obvious...that windows didn't
shut down properly. A little help here, Microsoft??? Hello???


I don't think it's Microsoft's problem. I think that HP needs to
provide a BIOS fix. Please post here if any of you get a solution.

I have experienced the same problems with a brand new HP Pavilion d4890y.
Random sleep mode failures occur even when no applications is running by
checking in the task manager. HP tech support has no solution and bug
report
to Vista development group has no response.

Thanks,

I also have the HP Pavilion d4890y and have similar Vista sleep problems.
Example:

A) After pressing the ‘half moon’ keyboard sleep button:
a) The monitor screen blanked out, then came back on in five seconds; no
power down.
b) Tower power button stayed blue.
B) Pressing the sleep button a 2nd time blanked the screen and powered down
the hard drive, but not the fans; tower power button turned amber
C) Neither space bar nor mouse awakens system at that point
D) To recover had to turn off the computer at the tower power button and
restart.
E) After getting the normal HP boot screen, got the black Windows Error
Screen "Windows did not shut down successfully"
which counted down and segued to the log in screen.
F) Same effect if invoking sleep from Start ‘Power’ button.

This behavior is repeatable; the first invocation of Sleep causes the screen
to go off and on, and things work normally. A 2nd sleep invocation freezes
the system in a kind suspended animation. At times in my experimenting, I
got the blue screen: "Stop: 0x00008086", but that has not been repeatable.

Things I have tried to circumvent the problem:
- unchecked "Allow this device to wake the computer" for my Network Adapter
Power Management (no help)
-verified that my Nvidia graphics card has its latest driver

It also appears that if the system is put to sleep by the power option, it
will also not reawaken from the keyboard or mouse; requires total power
shutdown and restart.

Have looked around for other solutions as you did, and found numerous
references to sleep and power option problems, but no good solutions yet.
For the time being, I am leaving the system running.

Anyone else's thoughts will be appreciated.

Default Vista Sleep Issues

Hello,

I have the same problem.

Sleep mode works the first time you use it.
But if i want to do it a second time the computer locks up
and i have to reboot holding the power button for several seconds.

Hi,

How latest your windows updates are on vista?

Not sure this would help. I had the same problem but got them fixed after
applying the windows update especially released on 07/10/2007.

See the attached screen shot for the list of updates on 07/10/2007 which
fixed the issue on my new dell D820 laptop.

I was not applying those updates until I get the cisco vpn upgrade to work
with these updates. That’s specific for my environment.

Good luck.

Default Vista Sleep Issues

I bought a Dell w/VISTA business for work--no probs,so I bought a Dell
w/VISTA Home Premium for home--my computer goes to sleep fine, but will not
wake up--I have to turn off the power on the tower and reboot sometimes 2-3
times to get it to a screen where it asks if I want to resume windows. I
have tried Microsoft and Dell and both are no help--keep passing the buck
between each other. I first had this problem on day 2 of using this new
computer--isn't it ridiculous that Dell and Microsoft will not immediately
fix your problem when the computer is brand new?
The fact that this forum even exists is ridiculous--help should be available
from Microsoft and the computer manufacturers-one shouldn't have to resort to
sharing info with other computer users.

Default Vista Sleep Issues

Hey Ryan, You may be on to something about the Logitech connection and
sleep/screensaver issues. I have had screen saver/power management issues
with windows 3.1?? 95, XP and vista also. Plus, I have always had some sort
of logitech device...trackball mouse. Now with vista not "waking up" the usb
ports this is a Big issue for me.

"Ryan Dinan" wrote:

My Vista Ultimate x64 system seems to have an issue with staying asleep - but
only if my Logitech MX1000 wireless laser mouse is on it's cradle. If it's
on there, and I put the computer to sleep, it will awake almost instantly.

So, I went to the control panel - Mouse - hardware, and clicked on
properties (brings you to the device manager). I then went in and went to
"Advanced configuration" and "Power Options", and unchecked the box that says
"allow this device to wake the computer".

Well, that setting obviously changes absolutely nothing - the mouse - even
when moved on a surface, wakes the computer.

I found a MS Knowledgebase article about computer sleep issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927821/en-us
and it said that this "is caused by a USB device that supports wake from
sleep functionality when it is connected to the UHCI host controller. This
problem occurs even when the system BIOS reports that the UHCI host
controller supports the wake from sleep functionality. To work around this
problem, plug the USB device into an Enhanced Host Controller Interface
(EHCI) host controller."

Huh?? Is an EHCI USB controller basically a USB 2.0 port? If so, then this
did not fix my problem either, as every port on my computer is USB 2.0 (and I
am using USB 2.0 cables).
It's also interesting to note that this same mouse issue also affects the
ability of the computer to enter the screensaver (but only when the mouse is
on the cradle).
I have contacted Logitech about this, and they are baffled, but can
reproduce the problem - so it's not just me ;-)

Any ideas here?

Thanks!

-Ryan

I spent many hours trying to fix the sleep mode problem. Finally I found an
optional Windows Update that I downloaded, and it fixed the problem. The
Update is:
microsoft-other Hardware-HID Non-User Input Data Filter. Hope this works for
you.

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.

Posts on the sleep problem run from March 07 through December 22, was
there a fix somewhere or did everyone just give up? Or is there another
thread regarding the problem? I have Vista Home Premium with SP1
installed on an HP M8247C-B. It worked well waking up from sleep until
yesterday after installing SP1, now it doesn't. Just
wondering.......
