  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the previous step fails then I suggest you check the observer after return with details and events for the cause.

    What are the information contained in the logs of the event (Event Viewer)?

  • Sound glitches after the computer wakes from sleep or Hibernation

    When I first turn on my computer, sound works fine, but after standby or hibernation there is odd audio 'glitches' each time there is a spike in CPU activity. The seeds just sounds like small clicks and pop, but I find them very noticeable. They are triggered by things as simple as loading a page in a web browser (which reached only ~ 30% CPU usage on my computer).

    Here's what I discovered by just my own tests:

    * Happens in programs that use DirectSound and WaveOut. (I think almost all programs use DirectSound, right?)

    Programs that use his alternative such as the ASIO API are not affected. I've tested it using foobar2000.

    * When recording my sound output using Audacity, clicks and POPs are included in the record. (I can download it somewhere if you want to hear exactly the kind of glitches that I'm talking about).

    These facts lead me to believe that the program exists somewhere in the code of Windows Audio (ie. not a hardware or driver problem).

    A few things here that I tried to solve the problem:

    To restart the "Windows Audio" service.

    Stop service "Windows Audio", go to sleep, wake up, start the service 'Windows' Audio.

    * Updated my audio drivers

    Using the default windows audio drivers

    The seeds still exist when I try these. The only thing that solves the problem is to restart the computer.

    The most obvious permanent solution to this problem is simply not to use mode 'sleep', but I should be able to use the "sleep" without these problems. I hope just this problem is fixable by me, because after all, I lived in an attempt to solve this problem, I'm afraid that nothing will work.

    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    Sound: Realtek ALC662 HD Audio

    Thanks for the reply again, Umesh. Updating drivers did not work, but I managed to solve the problem.

    In my original post, I said sound glitched whenever there was a CPU usage, but today, I realized that it was actually using the network causing glitches. I updated the driver for my network card and now the problem is gone! I don't know what was going on, but at least it works now!

  • Computer wake from sleep

    Installed windows 8, the hard drive goes to sleep after 30 minutes as shown in default. When I try to turn on the computer, it looks like the power lights but screen does not work. What's wrong?

    "gigabyte z97x game 5 motherboard running only a 240GB SSD, with an Intel i5 4690 k and a R9 280 X diamond."

    Strange coincidence, I pretty much have this configuration. Gigabyte Z97x ud3h, 240 GB SSD, it 4690 k and a R9 MSI x 280. Sometimes it will not wake up from his sleep and made a kind of attempt of electric start then down several times until I make a hard stop. When it finally starts it resumes where it left off. Just started happening, but I just installed Win 10 so have not had time to trace it down to hardware or software. Really shocked to see that you have a similar setup.

    I have several books of Folio 1020 G1 where the integrated keyboard does not work for about 30-60 seconds after the resumption of the operation of the standby mode. Everyone met this problem or a solution?

    The touch pad, touch screen and a usb keyboard immediately all work.

    They work on the load of the plant, but these machines were photographed with Windows Enterprise 8.1 x 64 using Configuration Manager 2012.

  • eHome IR transmitter fails to wake from sleep

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit on an HP box bought less than a year ago.  A Hauppauge 2250 tuner card is installed.  The tuner card is connected to my Comcast Cable box by an IR transmitter.  The system worked well for months, but now I find that the IR Transmitter is not working after coming out of sleep mode.  Reboot and everything works well again.

    How can I get the IR transmitter to continue functioning when the computer wakes from sleep?

    THX,

    Ross

    first thing to do is to try a system restore to the last time it worked.

  • How can I PREVENT Time Machine back on the wake from sleep?

    I leave my machine on the work week and when I finished the night, I SLEEP there.

    In the morning, he has no need to backup first thing. But Time Machine insists on execution from the moment I have a mouse and he wakes up from his sleep.

    It was fine when it was new and fast, but now he is old and slow (especially - but mostly because I really push to the limit with multiple Safari Windows opens and executes a large number of software design at the same time, I have to do for work).

    My question is simple:
    How to tell Time Machine to does not have a return on the wake from sleep? or;
    Say this do not back up from 06:00 to noon? or;
    Is it a third party plug in that allows me to customize the time Machine more?

    Another idea on what just said or it to no return for even the first hour or two when it comes in the morning or even in any time to sleep during the day. Automatically.

    I also have my drive main external file mirroring AND use Super Duper once per day to fool the internal drive (I total plan control) AND back up all files off site (I total plan control). But, Time Machine is also always at hand to get it done. If only I had a little control over it, so she did not have the necessary step back up the minute I sit down. Significantly slow down my work time productive morning!

    Time Machine really shouldn't bog down your machine that badly.

    If Time machine running interferes with your ability to use the machine, then something else is wrong. It shouldn't affect performance in this way.

    If it's all just "annoying"... Well... Why is this a big deal?

    Maybe you should run a report Etrecheck and post the results here. If something is moving your system, which can help us identify what it is.

    Right-click on the pasteboard, and you should have a choice of colours from timeline menu.

    I would add that you should have a file to open it or it won't work.

    From the description of the problem, it seems that the computer would not wake from sleep when you close the lid and open it again. I understand the inconvenience.
