Dimension 5150 puts random mode monitors 'sleep'

Hello world

I have a Dimension 5150 2006-era tower that frequently but randomly will monitor to all this which is connected to in mode 'sleep', with the only difficulty being a reboot.  The computer is certainly still active as you can inside VNC.

I tried a whole bunch of bugs, including:

-different monitor

-different cables

-added a video card that uses DVI (exactly the same problem happens)

-malware

-update the video driver

-disabled power sleep in Windows Vista settings

-disabled standby settings in the BIOS to power

-update the BIOS

-reinstalled XP Home, using the recovery disk

This problem sometimes, right after that the computer is started, sometimes hours later, sometimes it never happens until I turn the stop/restart computer.  He went a week or two without that being a problem, then after a reboot, that's going to start to happen again.

I am running out of ideas and guess this is a power supply or motherboard problem.  Someone has something else I could try?

I would try a new power supply.

I fixed a 5150 parent last year - of strange problems that proved to be due to a lack of power.

    That looks pretty good except some parts are cut for some reason any... GATEWA instead of entry door?  Never seen that before!

    For this kind of issues Stand-By and hibernation, I tend to start thinking about video drivers.

    You did not provide the requested information on your video drivers or the way in which your Stand By button behaves right now.

    If you did a system recovery from the CD supplied with your system, drivers on the recovery CD may be outdated or you may have updated your system in the past - that's why it used to work.

    I could go to the wide wide world of eMachines Web page and see if you have the latest video drivers and update your system if necessary:

    http://www.eMachines.com/support/drivers.html

    Looks like you need VGA driver version 6.14.10.3889.

    You can find your current version by following the previous instructions.

    In the meantime, since you think that your system has a type of infection, I also recommend to do this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  • When I put my PC into sleep mode, it restarts.

    Original title: Sleep Mode

    Using Windows Vista, when I put my computer to sleep to reboot.  The computer restarts on its own.  When it restarts I get the screen asking me if I want to start normally, as if the computer restarted unexpectedly from the computer.  I'd appreciate any help.  Let me know if you need more details.

    Hello
     
     
     
    1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
     
    First of all, you must disable the auto reboot system error and then we can check if the problem exists in safe mode or not.
     
    Method 1.
    Step 1. Disable automatic reboot to avoid unwanted restarts on system failure.
    a. when your computer starts up keep press F8 on your keyboard until you get the Advanced Boot Options screen.
    b. now, use the arrow keys, select Disable automatic restart in case of system error and press ENTER.
     
    Step 2 Start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem exists. If it starts successfully and supposed works can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
    Method 2.
    It is also recommended that you update all hardware drivers.
    For more information see the link below:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

     
    b. you can also check if all the drivers are available through Windows Update.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-drivers-recommended-links

     
    Method 3.
    If you suspect a virus activity I highly recommend to run a Scan of Virus online. 
    Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.
    a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
     
    b. run the malware removal tool from Microsoft.

  • Random stop into sleep/hibernation mode

    I recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my HP laptop and I have the following problem: when I enter the computer to 'Hibernate' mode or 'sleep', after a certain period of time (usually a few hours), the computer will wake up automatically and the screen will turn blue for a fraction of a second before the computer shuts down completely.  When I turn on the computer again, he says he was arrested in an improper way and wonder whether or not I'd like to boot normally or in safe mode.

    When I was with Windows XP, I haven't had no problem leaving the computer in mode 'sleep' for days at a time.  Anyone know why I have this problem with Windows 7?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :).

    Hi alexpm,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    1. open the Manager of devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and security, and then, under system, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. in the list of hardware categories, find the device you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
    3. click on the tab driver, click Update driver, and then follow the instructions. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. right click on the wireless adapter and select Properties.
    3. you will see 5 tabs, click on the last one that says "power management."
    4. now, simply UNCHECK the first box that says "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    5. click on the OK button.

    Method 3: Create a new user profile and check if the problem persists there. This problem may also be due to damaged user account.

    To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.

    1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

  • Dell U2715H as second monitor sleep problem

    I just bought a Dell U2715H monitor to connect to my iMac 27 "mid-2010.

    Implementation, the system works beautifully. Plug n play, as we are accustomed to the Apple universe.

    But after an automatic start, this morning, the Dell remained black, what I tried.

    A phone call with the helpdesk Dell did not bring a solution; they are willing to trade for a new monitor, but I think not (just a feeling) which will tackle the problem.

    After having a cup of coffee, I came back to my Mac, who had fallen asleep in the meantime.

    Pressing a button all of life, including (surprise) the Dell monitor system.

    After a few experiences, I discovered that after a reboot, the Dell remains black.

    Put the system to sleep (using a hot corner) and pressing a key is not wake up the Dell.

    Bringing the system to sleep and pressing a button after waiting 10-20 seconds, puts the entire system, including the Dell monitor.

    The monitor is connected to a mid 2010 iMac 27 "2.93 GHz Intel Core i7, with a miniDP to DP cable.

    Although I found this 'solution' after hours of frustrating attempts, it feels a bit inadequate.

    Anyone who is familiar with this problem who found a more definitive solution?

  • CPU temp is-128C after the resumption of the mode S3 Sleep

    Hello

    As says my title, my temp cpu bed-128 C after waking mode S3 sleep.

    This affects my fan control, and while not particularly dangerous, it is annoying as my fans are set to 100% and do not return to their modes of thermal cruise.

    However, when I restart my computer temperature readings are fine and the fans run in accordance with their respective temperature readings.

    The really weird thing is that as I get S3, I look at the temperature of my cpu and it reads 40 c (same as idle temperature), but this only lasts for about a second how the temperature reading goes up to C - 128, while my fans are working up to 100%, such as fans and temperature readings are pegged to their "extreme" until I restart the computer.

    I tried to close the temperature monitor and re run after S3 wake up without result. I also tried to launch a processor intensive task to see if that would record at least a change in temperature, also without success, the temperature reading remains pegged to c - 128.  Is it possible to correct the stray cpu temperature read during his awakening of S3, because it seems that the sleep mode S3 everything resets all leaving the cpu temperature sensors in limbo?

    Im running:

    Win Xp pro SP3 and Speedfan 4.45 (temperature monitor)

    2 GB of ram

    T8300 CPU @ 2.4 Ghz

    Card mother MS-9803 w/FRIEND BIOS 2.2

    O.K.

    After combing through the net re: the above question, I determined that the problem I see with the temperature monitor is only a superficial, but light always news, of a larger problem.

    I contacted the mfr of cpu and my cpu temperature is within specifications, even after the release of the S3 despite what said Speedfan.

    So the problem I have is not so much with the temperature of the cpu that the fact that my cpu is "spinning its wheels" after the exit of the S3 with cpu common use anywhere from 15 to 35% (via the Task Manager) with no visibly active application/process. .... IM thinking to start a new thread and the closure of it.

  • Dell Dimension 5150 - WinXP error 0 x 00000024 STOP

    I wrote this email to someone, however, received no response, so am using Microsoft Answers.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanyou,

    Anil

    Dear Dan,

    First of all, my name is Anil and I found your E-mail address when searching about my problem on some Forums.

    Last night, my computer was working fine. Really flawless. I use a Dell Dimension 5150 running Windows XP.

    However, when booting this morning, I received the error STOP 0 x 00000024 and with something to do with CHDSK / F.

    I couldn't do anything, like when I tried to boot my PC in safe, I got the same blue screen with the error.

    Therefore, after reseaching, I found two possible solutions.

    The first is to use the WinXP disc, however, my PC came with Windows XP already installed, I therefore had no disc.

    The second, I found the Forum even where I found your Email address, is to use a program called Bart PE Builder.

    I used Labtop this and this to burn the program to a CD.

    I only have a cause for concern, and it is, I have about 30GBs of value of music on my computer that I would be afraid to lose.

    My question is, if I run PE Builder from Bart, my music will be lost?

    And that goes for other files and documents on my computer (anything illegal, don't worry; (P)

    Thank you

    Anil

    Looks like Bart's not see anything except himself and that might be because it takes the controller drivers that are added. The easy way to find out is to add drivers to the image of your Bart controller and then start with this new CD. IIRC, he must put the drivers in a certain directory. Site Web de Bart, user forums or Google will tell you how. I don't use often Bart (preferring Knoppix) so know not glib. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How to activate the Sleep function to put the computer to sleep if a program is open?

    I have Windows Vista basic on a desktop Dell 530.  I found that if I have a program or application running (such as I-tunes or windows media player) then the Sleep function will not put the computer to sleep.  How to activate the Sleep function to replace these programs and put the computer to sleep?

    Note: This is how it was with windows XP, the Sleep function would put the computer to sleep no matter what was running, he was reliable, if you left the computer and I forgot that you had something running.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi kevino4130,

    If you disable sharing on your computer (not only the power settings) of media, it should allow him to enter the mode 'sleep'.

    See if that does not solve your problem and let us know.

  • Dimension 5150 - ideal for the installation of extra memory Modules

    Greetings-

    I'm looking for advice on the ideal placement of some extra memory modules.  My intention is to increase the original 2 x 512 MB memory by adding 2 x 1 GB which should theoretically give me a total of 3 GB.

    Currently, my Dimension 5150 has a module of 512 MB at the location 1 and another in the Groove 3.  My dilemma is - in which slots should I put the additional modules of 1 GB?

    For more efficiency and recognition, it would be preferable to use connectors 1 and 3 for modules of 1 GB and then move the 512 MB modules in slots 2 and 4... or should I just go ahead and put the two new modules in the slots of alternative 2 and 4?

    The optimal placement tips will be appreciated.

    I have a penchant for this old DELL PC, who recently returned to me after many years and I would use it in the company of another DELL later models... because its worth it.

    Best regards, Vicko

    If I did that, I pull the current memory, install the new memory and run some diagnostics above to ensure that the new memory is good.

    I then add the memory current po and run diagnostics and ensure that games memory agree between them.

    I've had times where bad corresponding memory worked well and moments where he does not understand that is why I suggest this approach.

    Well, I activated the incoming and outgoing settings under sharing files and printers in the firewall. I've also set up a connection between the router and the printer security rule. Since then, I was able to ping the router and the router by its IP number regularly for more than 72 hours. I hope that this solves the problem and everyone helps the dilemma.

  • How to put my MacBook to sleep

    I've recently upgraded to a new MacBook, a MacBook Air and have noticed that he's not going to sleep by pressing the power button. Why has this changed? and is there a way to change this? I know that closing the lid and to choose the apple logo and then select sleep will work but I like the the power button procedure.

    He should go to sleep by pressing and releasing the button of power once. This does not work on mine, but the button must be held down for approx. 1 second. If I push and release too fast, nothing happens. Immobilized for 4 or 5 seconds makes up the dialog restart/sleep/cancel/Shut Down.
