Impossible to sleep or hibernation

I have windows 7 ultimate and yesterday I started having this problem with the sleep and hibernate controls. I can't click on it. The only thing I can think is that I installed win 7 realtek hd Audio drivers yesterday. could be the problem?

Hello
 
From the information you provided, it looks like this hibernation and Standby button may be gray. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I recommend you to update the graphics drivers and see if it makes a difference. You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

1. open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. in Device Manager, locate the graphics card and then double-click the device name.
3. click Driver tab, then click on set to update driver and follow the instructions.
Now, try to follow the link provided to update a hardware driver that is not working properly and check the question below.

    What is the BIOS? Is up to date?
    I read in a few discussions setting the BIOS update can help with these similar problems.

    45 minutes of sleep
    Hibernate 1 hour
    Disable hard drive EVER

    20 minutes of sleep

  • TM2 - Win7 hangs at the splash screen after waking from sleep and hibernation

    I had intermittent problems with the mode 'sleep' on my laptop TM2T-2200 (Windows7 64-bit).  Wake up sleep & put into hibernation, the system will have problems with log-in intermittently.  Generally speaking, I'll be able to move my mouse cursor and enter my password - but pressing enter, the system hangs at the splash screen, requiring a hard - reboot (by pressing the power button).  Sometimes, I've not yet will be able to enter my password before it crashes.

    The problem seems to occur more in energy saving mode, but it occurred in '' HP recommended Mode '' once or twice now, too.  It looks a lot like the problems reported for other models HP here:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-lockups-freezes-hangs/Pavilion-DM4-freezes-when-idle-and-after...

    Any suggestions?  Is it possible to know if a particular driver or a program that hangs?

    Update: my problems seem to be associated with protection against malware of Comcast constant guard and disappeared after uninstalling the program.

  • 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!

  • Satellite don't wake up from sleep or hibernation when the lid is closed

    It is a problem that I had with my laptop from the outset - if the laptop is in sleep or Hibernate mode and the lid is closed, or the lid is closed and will switch "standby" from there, it won't wake up or respond to the switch once again opened.

    Even holding down the power button has no effect, the only way to turn it back on is to remove the battery, put it back and turn the phone back on, lose anything I had opened.

    I fear that the laptop could be damaged by this, but there is no other way.
    This isn't a problem with the settings of windows, I had the same problem with the function suspends in ubuntu.

    Anyone had similar problems or know anything than either could have caused this?

    What model of Satellite L do you have exactly?
    What system is pre-installed? Have you tested this problem with laptop recovery fees?

    BIOS is up to date? If it is not updated in the BIOS.
    After update BIOS, set the default BIOS and test the features of the laptop.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • Lose Internet connection after sleep/standby/hibernation Mode

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion Elite e9105z CTO Office and migrated from Win XP to Vista Home Premium x 64, with a NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller.  Whenever I come off standby or standby mode, I lose my Internet connection and have to restart my system or run Windows Network Diagnostics to repair the network adapter settings.

    I tried several remedies available on Internet; but unfortunately, nothing has resulted in a permanent solution.  I contacted my service provider ISP (Mediacom) wonder if it was / is a problem with the firmware used to my cable modem SBV5220 support (for example, incompatibility with Vista) and they said there is no.  So far, I have:

    1. Reinstalled NIC driver.
    2. Power options controlled and reset with USB CDC.
    3. Apply the update for Windows Vista (default gateway setting is lost) for x 64 systems (KB933872) - response that update does not apply to the system.
    4. Reset the IP configuration via the Cmd line.
    5. Tab power, unchecked the box that shuts down the adapter then power save comes into play.

    Access the computer several times a day and having to reset Internet connections became extremely aggravating.  I hope there is a solution.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Back from a 3 week stay, during which my office has been extinguished, my local internet connection would come is no longer active when he came out of hibernation.  The without line worked, but the local connection would not work unless physically, I unplugged the cable from the router (Netgear) and reinserted it.

    After several days of frustration, I went into the Manager of devices, unchecked ethernet optional adapter "allow the computer to turn off this device."
    This seems to have cleared up the problem, at least until now...

    Hello Hill,.

    You can try to start safe mode and see if the problem occurs. To initiate safe mode follow the link below:

    Start the computer in safe mode

    If the problem happens then in safe mode, try to perform the boot so that we make sure that there are no other third party application which is in conflict with the operating system. To perform a clean boot, follow these in the link below:

    How to perform the clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    Additional information:

    Resolution of errors blue screen in Windows

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    Important: When running Chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when Chkdsk attempts to repair this area so all available data on this risk be lost.

    I hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to write us again and we will be happy to help you.

  • Update caused HP DV6 to lose sleep and hibernation of the functions

    My almost new DV6 comes from losing the ability to sleep or Hibernate.

    This occurred only after an update online systematic HP and I cured the problem by restoring my system to the last restore point before the update from HP.

    The symptoms of the error was that the computer will turn off if left unattended, would otherwise freeze when the cover is closed, who need support for 5 seconds the start button to thaw it (i.e. turn off!)

    I know that this problem was caused by an update of HP as settled the problem of restoring the system.

    How can I make sure that HP do not for me even once?

    Is there a way I can report to HP?

    I suspect that you have installed HP Support Assistant. To avoid this situation, you can uninstall this software or change the deafult settings. How do you change them?

    Use HP Support Assistant and choose " settings ".

    Change ' check and install all updates (recommended) automatiquement.*. '

    to ' do not check updates. ' or " Check but let me decide who once to install.* " and confirm your choice by clicking " OK ".

  • Lock, sleep, put into hibernation? Definitions, please

    I have waded through the help texts but is more confusion than assistance!  What exactly each of these terms, and what is the difference between them?

    The scheduled tasks 'wake up' the computer if it is locked, asleep or hibernating?  If so, the computer takes over the State after the intended function?  No doubt the programs that were running when the computer is locked, put in sleep or hibernation are suspended while in one of those States - or are they?  And when or why a State should be used rather than the other?

    Hello

    Not really as equivalent to read all the Shakespeare for the technology is "Google is your friend". Which
    of course still applies.

    When a computer wakes it reruns not the startup folder - it only runs scheduled tasks, then
    fall back to sleep.

    While you sleep, it will work only the tasks that have been set to Awake the computer. Scheduled tasks
    but they are not set to wake the computer not to run.

    Normally the computer goes to sleep after that a scheduled task is completed.

    Google is your friend :)
