Laptop INSPIRION 3542 sleep problems

Whenever my laptop Inspiron 3542 goes to sleep, I have to press the power button to turn it off and turn back on. I heard it had something to do with the motherboard, but if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I would like a fix not a work here if I can help it. I've updated the BIOs and all drivers.

No it's not the motherboard.

Open the Device Manager

Click System devices

Click management engine intel

Click on disable the driver

There are many ways of diff here on how to fix this problem... mine is the easiest.

    Hi Jürgen

    I don t think that Microsoft would be able to help you usually the laptop manufacturers are responsible for own products

    If you have any problems regarding the features of the laptop, you will need to contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your additional countries, you can call the hotline of Toshiba.

    You can also ask the here community of users for some advice, assistance, etc.

    This Z830-11J is certainly win 8 supported as you can see here the model number in the Win 8 compatibility matrix: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

  • HP Spectre13-3010dx sleep problems, Shutdown

    Hello

    I recently bought this ultrabook and I noticed that the sleep and stop functions do not work as expected. Restart works very well.

    Description of the problem

    • When you try to put the computer to sleep, the screen goes black, but the system stays on (lights on the keyboard, the fan spins again). I'm unable to recover from this State unless I make a difficult stop (hold down the power button / stop) or wait 5 minutes, how the computer off simply. This kind of... defeated the purpose of "sleep". Haha.
    • Same thing happens when I stop the laptop - screen turns off, turns on and the fan turned on and unless I turned off by force, laptop remains in a vegetative state for five minutes and then shuts down its own.
    • In both cases, I am unable to recover from the black screen. No response from the computer, regardless of the key combination (Ctrl + Alt + Delete, etc.)

    I dug around here the support forums and noticed other people had issues similar, but on different computer models (i.e., Pavilion, dv6, etc.), so I tried to take these specific solutions to solve my problem, but there has been no result.

    Steps taken to solve the attempt

    • The laptop came with the version of BIOS Insyde F.09, so I updated the version of BIOS to F.13. Does not solve the problem
    • I went into the BIOS and reset all default settings. Still has not solved the problem.
    • I found another thread that the user had the same problem as me, but on a different model specifications. I tried to use their solution to roll back BIOS. However, it has not yet solve the problem.
      http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-lockups-freezes-hangs/shut-down-sleep-problem-HP-Pavilion-note... ***

    Note: Problem of this other user has emerged due to a BIOS upgrade, while my computer was delivered to me with this already existing problem.

    From this moment any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Laptop did not sleep properly and I disliked stuffed in the laptop bag

    This morning, I closed the lid on my laptop, the icon of sleep on the hinge is come, put the laptop in my bag, put it in the trunk of the car and went to work. Twenty minutes later, I get to work and get my purse. The bag was very hot! And when I opened spilled and touched at the end of the laptop, it was even hotter. To the point where it felt good to the touch.

    The end of the exhaust fan was to the end top of the bag and is the end that I was touching. The fan was going at full speed.

    I brought in the office, he opened and there was a BACK screen that lists all the devices boot available and fairly well said that nothing was available. I hit enter and it cycled through a few screens back, but basically he didn't do anything. Then, a hard close and cool how far it was comfortable to the touch. In reverse and was able to get into Windows fine. The battery is fully charged when I left the House, but had fallen to 40 percent. At the time wherever I woke up PC Wizard, the internal time had fallen back to normal.

    Got my W500 a week ago. Wiped Vista Ultimate and replaced with Windows 7. Essentially, what I need to work works very well. Always have a few devices that probably are not completely configured correctly. I did this whole routine yesterday for the first time (to and from work) with no problems so I'm a bit confused what happened this time.

    Any thoughts? Anything else I should look for? I need to update the drivers? I see a couple of discussions about sleep problems, but have not confirmed anything on my end. Should what steps I take to ensure that the thing really did not sleep before sticking again in my bag?

    So far it seems OK, but I can't imagine what could have happened if I had the end fan at the bottom of the bag, it's in the afternoon and 100 degrees and if my drive was a little longer. I think it would have been messy.

    Thank you

    Matt

    Hello

    It is very probably no fault but just missing configuration. You must disable your laptop computer to wake from sleep.

    In Win7 it in Device Manager - click on properties (above all usb devices) of any device, go to the power management tab and disable "allow this device to wake the computer".

    Another good thing to set is in the power management in the "advanced power settings" of each plan. Here (sleep-> Allow wake timers) you can disable the timers that could wake the machine.

    Greetz!

  • Sleep problem graphics amplifier AW 17 R2 (2015)

    AW 17 R2 (2015) - Windows 8.1

    When the graphics amplifier is plugged all the options for the laptop on standby are unavailable.

    When the amplifier is NOT plugged

    (1) the laptop sleeps

    (2) power options to change the behavior of the power buttons and lid are available to set

    (3) to change power options the "stop settings are all available."

    (4) power sleep menu a

    (5) in the command center AW options for cover buttons and power exist. Show all options and work just as directly from power options.

    When the amplifier IS plugged

    (1) portable computer does not sleep

    (2) power options to change the behavior of the power buttons and lid are NOT available to address

    (3) to change power options the "stop settings are NOT all available." (only the lock)

    (4) power menu didn't sleep

    (5) in the command center AW options for cover buttons and power exist.  However only the options of 'Stop' and 'Do nothing' work.

    I have the latest graphics drivers amplifier.

    I have the last command center of AW.

    The amplifier is loaded with a GB of Titan X 12 GTX - I tried the last divers NVIDIA as well as those on the DELL site.

    I also tried the NVIDIA drivers desktop and laptop NVIDIA drivers.  I read some posts where drivers for laptop computer should always be used, but playing Devils lawyer I've tried both.

    There is no problems with the graphics performance.  The only problem is the laptop can not sleep, nor so all options work for configure to sleep.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    This IS intentional behavior.  I agree that it is a huge usability problem and I wish I had known that the sleep and Hibernate would be disabled before buying my GA like my setup with its power supply 980ti and nVidia 750w improved waste as much electricity when I have to walk away and end up leaving the thing running for hours , but the truth is she IS the behavior expected - I have my theories as to why, but the fact that it is a voluntary limitation was confirmed by Dell.  Perhaps the reasoning in the spirit of the engineers comes from what would happen if, for example, the laptop someone entered mode of hibernation when you are connected to the AG.  It seems to me be off for all practical purposes, so that the user can easily be supposed to think they can come and disconnect the cables from GA and throw their laptop in a case and take off with him.  Then when they try to feed him without the GA attached to the top, it would almost certainly be BSOD right from the start and then Dell would have to deal with people calling to complain that their laptops are not stable, and the general image of any of the Alienware series if hit people started hearing through the grapes that these new laptops BSOD a lot... so rather than trust for be smart enough to understand the functioning of our machines, they just disabled all features of sleep when the gas are attached.  That's my theory.  If I'm right there should be a way to force it to sleep, and we just keep in mind not to disconnect our gas without first wake up the machine to make a complete stop.

  • Error ' ' system timer was triggered "and hibernation / sleep problem.

    Original title: Hibernation and sleep problem?

    I bought a new laptop of Toshiba C55 series probably a little a month ago and for a while, it was fine, I had no problem. I had some mistakes with what is called a bad pool header, I've not experienced this once again. My main problem is with the sleep and hibernation. I went and disabled any parameter that would be extended automatically to my computer after a short period of time. It is set at only hibernate after like five hours, I'm never away from him that long. I don't want it to hibernate unless I put it specifically put into hibernation. I heard talking about hibernation is hard on your computer. I am usually only away from him for a couple of hours, so it's easier to have it in sleep so I can come back and get the right to return to work or what I was doing. I put it in mode 'sleep' whenever I need to go away for a few hours, for some time, I had no problem, he would go to the mode standby and stay there until I woke it. My problem is that most of the time when I put it in fashion watches, it goes to the hibernate after only a few minutes. WHY would he do that? And how can I stop it? There are times that I put him to sleep and he done as it should. Most of the time, but it goes to the hibernate after a few minutes. I don't want to make this period. Is there a setting I'm missing, I have conflicting settings on something? What is a small problem with Windows 8, or with my computer itself? The last thing I want to do is to restore it to factory settings and lost all the things that I have saved and have to reinstall my programs again.

    There is also something else showing in my event viewer I've ever seen before. That means when he says "system timer was triggered." And can someone tell me what means the bad pool header error and how to fix it?

    I found a solution, I noticed when I Hibernate the computer at night to go to bed is when it remains not in mode 'sleep'. I stopped it in hibernation at all now and it says in the mode "sleep" very well.

  • Several X201T problems solved - sleep problems, lock issues, multiple monitors / dock issues

    Hi, guys.

    Immediately after obtaining my Tablet last summer, I installed Win 7 Enterprise, our company holds a license for a microsoft SA customer.  Win 7 Enterprise has all the features of Ultimate edition, including Bitlocker, I needed.  I even restored the machine using discs I got from our Lenovo account manager and had the same problems as the image of the company.  My Tablet has the touch screen feature.

    I had the following problems with the Tablet, which are now resolved:

    The tablet on the first day, there's a new trackpad.  The party has had more than 4 weeks to arrive, but it fixed the problem once it was replaced.  I tried 1 billion software solutions (different drivers, settings, etc...) and blew a lot of time, so if you have this problem, get your replaced trackpad.

    External monitor did not work with docking station

    http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/X-series-Tablet-ThinkPad-Laptops/X201T-multi-monitor-issue-with-ultrabas...

    The solution was to use an adapter displayport to DVI to my Dell 24 "monitor.  The Displayport takes a long time to synchronize with the monitor that he thinks it isn't getting a signal, and the laptop turns off the display shortly after having tried to activate it.  In this case most of the time.  With the help of an adapter DVI worked very well.  I found myself propping my tablet in portrait mode with a cheap portable stand in a big box office supply store so I can have the OneNote upward on the tablet screen throughout the day.

    The final two problems have been solved with the application of a patch of Windows:

    It was awful.  As I sometimes ran programs in respect of the whole of the high network privileges and have a sensitive Inbox, it meant that I had to basically hold the power to stop the machine when I go to the toilet.

    Why no system update?

    Lenovo - the fact that this fix does not appear as an update required in Lenovo System Update caused me a lot of grief.  If you have a technical reason why it was available on the site, I would like to hear about it.  The case, please make your tablet customers a favor and put this in the system update.  There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the fix has solved all of my most serious problems, despite a description of Microsoft that doesn't seem to match the symptoms.

    I'm a happy guy now that all my stuff works.  A bad computer can really make your life difficult.

    Thanks for sharing the steps you have taken to solve the problem, I will drop a comment to the TVSU on this topic to see if it is possible to implement this go ahead.

  • Edge 13 sleep problem win7 (intel)

    Hello

    I think I have a sleep problem with my edge. If I close the lid, I can still hear the hard drive by clicking on current time to time and CPU fan. I checked all the power settings and it should go to sleep and nothing should stop going to sleep. Case may be where the cover he never sleeps, but if I choose sleep from the start menu, it will sleep. And I checked all the places it should go sleep by closing the lid.

    Thing worries me a bit, it is that if I run in prompt command "powercfg - a" he reports this computer only supports the S3 (hybrid sleep) and S1 and S2 modes are not supported.

    Mystery solved:

    HW problem!

    A magnet located in the lower right corner of the cover of the computer, under the screen rectangle shaped box is too low!

    I tried one of my magnets "fridge" on the top of my power button and computer went to sleep state and _stayed_ in mode standby.

    * Sigh * I wonder what I should do to fix this problem? Magnetic tape to improve the weak magnet on my computer?

    Original title: scrolling problem

    Hi Suresh,

    This is a late response to your question, but I thought that I could add more information here.

    From your description, it seems that your PageUp and the keys to the House (or arrows) of the keyboard are either stuck, or failing. These keys usually help access us in applications you mentioned. And since you mentioned that this happens even when the touchpad is not in use, it is likely that this could be the cause here.

    I suggest get you the checked keyboard when using a hardware technician, preferably from your computer manufacturer. That should help you understand better.

    Let us know if you need help with Windows, we are happy to be of assistance.
