http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

See you soon.

    Hello Hiba_2,

    I suggest that you update your BIOS, if the manufacturer has a newer version.
    I would also update the video driver for the latest driver.

    If your Windows 7 computer is preinstalled, so go the manufacturer of the computer and install the latest driver.

    Let us know if this helps the hibernation issue.

    Thank you

    My computer keeps going back to the logon screen after a few minutes

    Hey Missy,

    In addition, you can go through this post.

    The main reasons for this problem is a corruption in the registry key that contains the value of the files that are executed during the connection to windows. This registry key can get is replaced by an incorrect value, or it might get corrupted due to a virus / trojan activity.

    See if you can solve this problem by running SFC (System File Checker) scan in safe mode.

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    Using safe mode, see: start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Scan SFC

    This analysis relationto with system files integrity problems and trying to fix the same. If the scan does not automatically, you can try to repair these files manually. Detailed information is available here:

  • Why my computer keep starting in safe mode

    Why my computer keep starting in safe mode, it doesn't let me do system restore and health comes back fine but it says I have hardware or network problems

    Well, to prevent to load in safe mode, you should be able to press F8 when your computer starts, then select start windows normally. If it says that you have hardware problems or network you can or you can't. If you start windows normally and nothing seems wrong, you can start the Device Manager to check the hardware and just go on the internet to see if the network is fine. To enter the Device Manager, right click on my computer, then select Properties, then on the new close window left click Device Manager.

  • Computer keeps going all of a sudden "hibernation" mode

    I read a related thread that was close to my problem, but it wasn't quite the same thing.

    Now, when I close the lid, my computer goes into hibernation.  This is what I expect and want.  When I open it up, it asks for a password and goes back to the desktop or where I was.  Fine.

    This has recently started to happen:

    I'm going to work - even in the middle of typing an e-mail - and the screen will suddenly black.  I have to hold the power switch for a second or two (but not quite a long time to do a reset) to get the password screen.  I go, press the arrow, and it refers directly to what I was doing - even in the middle of a Word.

    What is probably happening, and can I fix?

    Some laptops will Hibernate suddenly without warning when they are overheated. Are your fans clean?

    I think so.  I use my laptop on the top one of these bases, which has two fans.  I think that I'm here.

  • Computer always goes into mode 'sleep' even if I chose to never sleep

    Hello

    Make sure that you are logged as an ADMINISTRATOR to make changes to the power (sleep) or others.

    Are you sure that you have those established in all Power Options? (There may be more than one).

    Check the change Plan settings - change advanced power settings

    Check the change when the computer sleeps

    Is - that go to sleep or is the active screen saver?

    Right click on the Desktop - Customize - screen saver.

  • What printer goes into sleep mode computer stops

    just got a hp7520 as a gift. updated from xp to 7. If the printer goes into sleep mode, the computer shuts down.  currently I'm keeping the printer in demo mode so that it does not expire.  Anyone know how I can use printer without him turning off the computer in normal mode?  I talked about Noone has even heard of that happening.  I hope someone can help. Thank you!

    Hi @JNBLanocha

    My stomach says mt that perhaps you have the printer USB cable connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer instead of a 2.0 port. The image below is some examples of 3.0 ports.

    3.0 ports are supposed to be backwards compatible, but I've seen questions arise.

    I wonder if the cable you are using is the computer and causing problems pulling power. All I can do at this stage is to assume and to gather information. Please post back with the answers to the following questions;

    1. You have a USB connection
    2. If the USB is connected, you use a 2.0 port or 3.0?
    3. Again, if you use a USB connection type, have you tried another USB cable? It could be a cable problem.
    4. You put XP or you remove XP and install Windows 7?
    5. You have your printer connected directly to a power outlet, or you are using a power strip/bar, or a surge protector?
    6. Now this may sound silly, but you have a timer on your computer, such as the hibernate after so many minutes and maybe the computer and the printer are set at the same, it is possible the moment closures / sleep coincide.

    I look forward to hear from you and to work towards a solution.

    Hi BSRC$, in stock

    1. You have security software installed on the computer?
    2. You receive an error message when you restart the computer?

    Reinstalling Windows XP to the factory setting would not be the first option.

    It is possible that some third-party programs or the services installed on the computer interfere with the installation of service pack 3.

    I suggest that you try to uninstall service pack 3 from the computer by using the recovery console and subsequently ask the article below for what to do before installing the service pack 3on the computer.
