Recently I ran into a few problems with my windows 7. Everything first, just a week and a half I am upgrading my antivirus/spyware program and a number of times I want to restart the computer. I managed to get into my computer without difficulty the first time, then the last restart, I couldn't enter my computer! So, I used the recovery disks and started fresh and I also bought another disc of the same product antivirus/spyware, installed and put in the new activation key and thought I was standing (there was some problems under reliability, he says Microsoft register server has stopped working).
This morning, I have the problem that when I'm on the computer (either on the net or just doing some stuff on the computer), it goes into mode 'sleep' and I have to enter the password.
What happens here?

Hi Palette,
Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.
- What is brand and model your computer?
- What anti-virus program is installed in the computer? Do you have problems running the program?
The error "Microsoft register server has stopped working" usually arises due to the DEP data. In addition, your computer past "standby mode" reflects a possible problem with the installation fails, the anti-virus program or due to a misconfigured power management. So, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Try to run the electrical troubleshooting utility and check if you get the sleep mode issues.
Reference:
Open the troubleshooter of power
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-power-Troubleshooter
In addition, refer to the section: my computer will switch automatically to standby if I don't use it after a short period of time in the following article:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-power-problems
If the problem persists, go to method 2.
Method 2:
The other possible reason, then this problem started, like installing antivirus, I suggest you uninstall the program, run Microsoft fixit to uninstalled programs and then reinstall the software.
Step 1: Uninstall anti-virus from its corresponding removal tool or in the control panel as shown below.
- Open programs and features, click on the Start button , click Control Panel, click programs and then click programs and features.
- Select the anti-virus program and then click Uninstall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- Restart your computer.
Step 2: Run the next fixit.
The problems that the programs cannot be installed or uninstalled
Step 3: Reinstall the anti-virus from the disc program.
Check if you get the question.
If the problem persists, try Method 3.
Method 3:
The question may arise also because of any conflict of third party software. So, I suggest to start your computer in a selective startup called, clean boot and check for the issue.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Note: See "How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as usual after a repair.
In addition, for the error "microsoft register server has stopped working", please refer to the steps posted by Naman R in the following thread link.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

Computer won't wake from sleep after installing the update July 2013
Original title: a reason any after July 2013 windows update mode "sleep" freeze my computer
Before I wake up problems due to incompatibility with windows 7 and SATA Hard drives (WD). This problem has been fixed with Windows Update August 2012. Just recently after July 2013 Windows Update. After that my computer is in mode "sleep" for a certain time it freezes and will not restart until I press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Then pressing the windows button star as a "Recovery Windows" message will appear.
I blame the July 2013 Windows Update. But I can't be sure what it causing the problem... I cleaned the Reg via CC & norton util 16 more run antiwalware Malwarebytes and run a Norton virus check. the lock in question remains.
Any ideas?
Problem solved... I had added a USB 3.0 Hub to my system. Unfortunately I do not share this Yauqb, thinking that a USB problem would not cause the fault that the USB (connected devices to the) worked well, my lack of this info likely extended the solution time.
Somehow that it finally dawned on me that look at the manufacturers site hub, of course nestled in the catacombs of the FAQ is a text of presentation all by unchecking the checkbox in the section of wake-up USB Device Manager.
When you look in Device Manager, USB devices are not the easiest to deal with because there are many multiple subdivisions more with no name and only cryptic blurbs attached when you look in the properties. Lucky a USB 3.0 arrives as 'High Speed' which reduces my 3-point action fields, uncheck all sleep problems fixed.

x 201 laptop computer won't go to sleep
I have all my settings for the laptop goes to sleep when I close the lid. But it is not at all... or she is about 3 seconds... then wakes up immediately to the top (without me touching the laptop at all).
I have an external mouse which is configured not to wake up the computer, but I know that this isn't the culprit, because the computer is not even sleep if I remove the USB adapter.
I solved it on my own. Apparently, there are two places that you can set the properties of the mouse. One of the control panel... material and his... mouse option and the other the "devices and printers" option
If you uncheck the option box 'waking up' on the first option, the mouse will always wake the computer. If the same option is chosen, the latest, it won't.

Computer won't start not (Normal Mode or secure); Blue screens
I have a HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook PC. The other day, he crashed and gave a blue error screen. Since then, it does not start. Ive tried to boot normally and without fail, or work mode. This is the information given in the blue screen. :
Win32k.sys
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Technical information:

Win32k.sys - address FFFFF9600006CCA3 base at FFFFF96000000000, Datestamp 53c5df64
When it crashed first, I played a game, then the screen got all pixelated, then the blue screen. The computer has overheating problems, because the fan doesn't work 100%. He often stops from overheating, but I cleaned the vents out because it has not overheated since. I just want to know if anyone can tell what is the problem of the information above, or if you need more information. Because the computer does not start, I can't crash dump files. Any information is appreciated!

HP laptop - 15-f162dx (ENERG: Sleep mode/freezing issues)
