Laptop suspended

Hello everyone.

I have an Alienware m17x r4. I got it for four years and its been absolutely brilliant. But these last three days its been acting weird vey. It starts on the first of these three days and hang just at the moment where he slowed. Then I had to do a hard reset, after which he would again start and then suspended in 10 minutes. After three days now, I reinstalled windows and video drivers nvidia. It will now boot and allow me to perform simple tasks, but it always crashes when I try to play a video on vlc media player (my default media player).

Please forgive me if I made any mistakes. This is the first time that I post here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Record: 3rd Gen 2.7 Ghz i7-3740QM

nVidia GeForce GTX 675 M.

8 GB DDR4 Ram

1 TB hard drive.

Actually after I posted on this community. I reinstalled drivers nVidia via safe mode once again and after reinstalling windows I did and the nVidia drivers as what I had already done, but I thought it was worth a shot. Now its been perfectly fine. For the last five days.

    Hello

    It didn't happen since the first day is good?
    Is it possible that you have installed some kind of software that might affect the system and cooling properties?

    I m not very well what's going wrong here but I guess that its software related issue
    Don t think its BIOS problem because if BIOS would cause this, then the issue should appear from the first day of purchase

    You could try to put the system in the previous state, but in the worst cases, you will need to run a system recovery in order to redefine the laptop to factory settings.

  • How to check if the lid switch is broken on Lenovo Thinkpad X230i?

    I have problems with my new Lenovo Thinkpad X230i lid switch and I would ask you how to test if the lid switch is physically broken. Since I bought the laptop a few weeks ago the laptop suspended when I closed the laptop, but still I had to press gently with my finger on the lid so that the laptop has recognized that the cover is actually closed. Now, this trick no longer works.

    Now, I would like to find a way to better test if the lid switch is physically not works. I found this article in the forum: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-does-not-detect-lid-open-close/td-p/49626... and I followed the steps. I entered the BIOS and closed the cover, but on my laptop, the screen goes out, even if the cover is completely closed and even after pressing gently with your finger.

    I cannot conclude now that the switch of cover material is actually broken and I need the service of Lenovo?

    switch cover on the X 220 and X 230 is triggered by a magnet. The laptop enter the BIOS menu, then use a magnet and see if that turns off the display. IF this is your lid switch is working properly and the problem you are experiencing is most likely software. If it isn't then it is broken, and you need to replace.

  • Shows of 64bits 21.0 Firefox Windows 8 sometimes suspended in the Task Manager

    I have a laptop of 64-bit windows with Firefox 21.0 8. In the night I turn my computer off (not restart), I have fastboot or anything and when I login I run firefox and nothing happens. I can open Task Manager and find firefox and it says that it is using 178 k or an infinitely small number of memory, then state instead of saying 'running', he said 'suspended '.
    I then finish that firefox and start a new one, and it works fine.
    Why it does not the first time that I start it well?

    • Update * - see the screenshots -

    Screenshots:
    http://oi39.tinypic.com/33comrn.jpg this is what happens when I first try to start firefox after turning on my laptop.

    http://oi43.tinypic.com/kn9dc.jpg this is what happens when I close Firefox which does not at the screenshot 1.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • Internal keyboard and mouse do not randomly respond time forcing me to restart my laptop 15 times until it works again

    1. sometimes this feedback haptic on the mouse is not triggered, leaving me by clicking on the mouse, while feeling against nature - something that is not supposed to happen

    2. after I close my laptop / closing of the lid/Eve (do not turn it off) the keyboard and the mouse literally don't work - it forces me to restart my laptop several times (sometimes around 15, take me 5-10 minutes just to get my laptop to work)

    Additional details:

    -J' tested a USB keyboard and mouse with my laptop and it works perfectly, even when the internal don't - maybe it's a hardware problem?

    -I went to the apple store a few weeks ago and spoke to someone at the "Genius Bar," which really helped at all - he told me I have to restart my laptop every time I open and I should do another user account - although I was skeptical about the logic used to arrive at these "solutions" I tried them anyway , here we are with the same problem - also, I don't have to close my laptop down 15 times every time I want to use, it's ridiculous, and that's why I bought a mac rather than a pc.

    -I'm not running any software/battery intensive programs on my laptop - especially just the word and the Google Chrome, which is not a lot

    -Here is a link to a video I downloaded from google reader showing how ridiculous, it's... https://drive.Google.com/open?ID=0B4oQ4C8NCLcWTWo5aVlrbDE1QmM

    Questions

    -I don't think that a fix is quite likely, but any suggestions are welcome!

    -Can I bring to the apple store and require a replacement? I left two years of care of apple

    This is probably in the wrong category, I apologize in advance - but it is a really weird problem that I don't think has a solution. Nevertheless, thank you for the reading of my rants and seizure of your advice!

    One thing that causes the mouse further trolling, is if your CPU is completely consumed by something. This can be checked in activity monitor CPU (all processes).

    Two other things can keep your Mac to be properly adjusted:

    GPU is suspended. These are cases where the GPU is no longer and can usually be seen in the console log, with symptoms such as GPU hang or WindowServer does not.

    Disk crashes.

    For the rotation of the discs, this can be a sign of imminent death of player.

    For SSDS of spare parts, this can be caused by the accumulation of deleted blocks, used in activating do not trim for your third-party SSD drive.

    -------

    The reason of suggests that you create a new user id is as a check against the clogging of a particular userid with junk that keeps things from being reactive. [a new user id will not have it clutter accumulated, so can react differently. He is not really a solution, it's a diagnosis.]

  • Satellite Z930 - suspend the problem with connected USB hard drive

    Hello

    Owner of a newly acquired Satellite Z930-15 X, I have a few questions/problems:

    1) suspends the work of RAM and good hibernation when there is no external hard drive connected. If there is one is connected, the laptop immediately returns back to suspend state. Is there a solution for this?

    (2) is there a way to selectively disable Bluetooth? Currently, only toggle airplane mode is available (with Fn + F8 or Windows 8 charm bar). This activates / deactivates the Wi - Fi or Bluetooth I think.

    (3) the portable computer is wobbly on reception. I put a bit of thin paper at the corner of a bottom (bottom left) so that it can be stabilized. Apparently, the problem is also mentioned in another thread. Is there a suggestion to fhix this problem?

    Thank you.

    1 / what HARD drive is connected to your laptop? When I use the external 2.5 HARD drive with my Satellite U940 I n t have problem.

    2 / I ve tested it on my machine and I noticed the same thing. When WIFI is disabled software BT is off too. I didn t find a way how to separately control adapter WLAN and BT.

    3 / I think that this issue needs to be clarified with Toshiba service. They must check and perhaps exchange rubbers inside.

  • Satellite C850-1NU - update of Windows 8 is suspended

    Hi all

    I'm pretty useless with computers so would like some advice.

    Yesterday, I bought a Toshiba C850-1NU.
    Tonight I tried to run windows updates.

    The laptop now reads as follows:
    "Configuration of Windows features.
    15% of full
    Do not turn off your computer.

    He read this message for 40 minutes. After that I turned off manually the laptop using the off button. To turn it on again, it began the process of updating at 0% and is now suspended at 15%.

    What we could do about it?

    Thank you very much

  • Portege 2000 cannot start after suspend

    Hi guru,.

    I'm new to this forum. So I looked through the first forum hoping to get an answer to my problem before posting, but no good result.

    Here's my problem. My portege 2000 works before brilliantly. But last night, while I was trying to configure my APM suspend (this is the first attempt to suspend), the problem, the system freezes! Then I tried to restart, can not remember I turn it off by pressing the button for a few seconds or unplug the hand because of the power key is not, in any case I have wait a few seconds after that, then turn on the power again, but the system seems to be dead, the AC power led is under voltage green LED, battery was not in the slot so no sign for her, the small button Fn LED told me this Fn key works well, but the caplock key does not work because its LED is not turn on after pressing, the screen is blank, or should say it is not powered on, the hard drive does not turn.

    So I unloaded the system by unplugging it from the main. After a while I swhitch on once again, the laptop is still in the same situation. Therefore, I tried to unload everything, disconnect the hand, open up the laptop, unplug the CMOS battery, wait for a while (15-20 minutes), then put it back on, but no joy.

    I did some research on Google at this time and read the knowledge base on the web site of Toshiba, seems the problem come with BIOS, who say that the system does not start if the power is off during suspend mode for the original version of BIOS (later healed). So, I decide to Flash a BIOS to most recent version. I have a pc card floppy drive, so I download the BIOS and create the floppy, then I use the key to update the BIOS to power on the laptop, luckily this time it works, "ready to update bios" screen appear. But when I press the key on the keyboard, it seems that it does not access the pc card floppy drive.

    By this incident, I think that the material has no problem, but the system is in standby for ever. Guru of the idea?

    Therefore, I have 2 questions:
    1. how to make it back to the start mode so that I can start my system? I need this as well according to the Readme of the BIOS update package, it should be in start mode, no interruption/recovery mode.
    2. how flashing a new bios in this situation? Do I need a USB floppy drive to do the BIOS to recognize that there is a drive so that I can Flash a new bios in there? Or the system will analyze not for material in this mode 'freezes '?

    Sorry about the long story, but I think I must tell him that you guys understand the situation and what I've tried so far.

    Additional information on my system, I'm under debian linux etch on this laptop, and everything that happened after I typed the command "apm-s". But it seems to me that it is the problem of BIOS problem OS?

    Thanks in advance.

    concerning
    Colin

    Hello

    First question: How did you install the operating system if the laptop will not start?

    I'm a bit confused Mr. I put t you know what means the boot mode.

    If the laptop has been completely stopped down so it s in the boot mode (standby or hibernation mode don t mix).
    If you want to update BIOS please make sure the BIOS is good and that you use the right update procedure.

    Where did you find the information that the BIOS update will solve this problem?
    In any case, for me, it looks more like an electrical problem on the motherboard.

    I wonder why I can't find the remote 'ActiveSync' service after peeling upward with my laptop.

    Could someone help?

    Your Bluetooth stack version is quite old. Try to update if Fujitsu offers a newer version to support features such as selective suspend. Maybe that's the problem here. If you can't get a more recent version, then I would try to install the version that is available on the Toshiba site:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/?page=download
    Try to set up this new. If it worked then uninstall the battery Bluetooth again, but keep the settings. The uninstall wizard asks. Now reinstall your original version of 5.10.17 (F). The version is old, once again, but I guess that most recent drivers remain in the system.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - network connection lost after suspend

    Hello

    I see that you have switched from Vista to XP.

    First of all I recommend you update the BIOS.
    As I m not wrong on the European driver Toshiba page, you should find a newer version of the BIOS.

    You will need to upgrade Win XP to the last State.
    The XP must be up-to-date and all service packs, hotfixes and patches MS must be installed in your laptop.

    Access the Device Manager, and then score in each USB hub root, you must disable the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    You can find this option in the properties-> tab power management

  • No Audio on Win7 x 64 or Linux I suspend and resume (so this works)

    Well... this problem is * very * strange.

    Basically, I bought this laptop a L665D-S5076, everything works well so far. Except for the sound.

    At the moment I opened it upward, I started in windows and update the BIOS, everything worked well (no sound)...

    I rebooted to verify that the BIOS update worked (I've updated because I saw before I have bought... changes of interest that have been made).

    Then I wanted to install Linux (more precisely ArchLinux), being that I only use Windows for games. For everything else, Linux is much better at it.

    I wiped the entire hard drive (the entire partition table), installed Windows 7 x 64 bit on a disc, I had to hang out... Note that I deleted the recovery partition and all other partitions unwanted who took more space I wanted (and the MS-DOS Master File Table supports only up to 4 primary partitions... and of course, Windows consumes almost all of them).

    So I installed Windows 7... installed Linux... it was all clean, I installed the drivers for Windows... and even on Linux, everything works correctly (surprised - apparently the majority of the chipset seems to be open-source/linux very easy... which is great).

    in any case, I just happened to close my screen and forget about Windows 7 by default to sleep when it's done. It picks up and I suddenly heard my sound work...

    So I restarted and the sound does not work... but suspends to RAM and then return to fix it...

    The _strangest_ thing is that not only this that under Windows, but it also does in Linux. Exactly... even... question...

    Didn't know that...

    So basically, now I want to get his job without having to pause to 'fix '. Obviously ;-)

    And please do not even think to say "remove this strange thing you called Linux" just because it "is not recommended" or something... especially since Linux cannot physically * touch * Windows, in the State I in.

    Thanks, I'd really like to listen to music under Linux & games w / sound in Win7 ;-)

    So, it was 64-bit this machine shipped with? I have no attention or care. Just curious... Although drivers say they support both which is nice. I guess he did, because it cannot allocate > 3 concerts in the x 86 arch.

    Call technical support and was told to send it to toshiba - seems to be a hardware problem. Would explain why the problem is present in both windows & linux. If their repair treatment is as good as seemed their support, then we should all go smoothly... If all goes well it is treated quickly and I have not any future hardware problems - I really need to use it for school... But I guess that's no matter what, when you get a dud that immediately, you think that all are going to be like that.

  • Tecra M5: standby/suspend one with a Linux 2.6 kernel

    I'm using linux kernel v2.6.16.20 on a Tecra M5, stable distribution of Debian 3.1. Most things seem to work properly, an annoying problem with the nvidia graphics drivers means that I can't go to a text console after starting X, but the more annoying is that I have to stop and start the machine there is no way I have found yet to convince standby or suspend.

    I use ACPI. As a fall back I also tried APM but it seems that it is not of any popular support APM in the BIOS on this laptop. That's fine, I'd rather be using ACPI, just need to make it work. I updated the BIOS to version 1.5.

    I have activated CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP (also have CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_SUSPEND_SMP, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, seem to need the last in order then to activate CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP) and CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND.
    $ cat/sys/power/state
    Reports:
    disc of mem

    Don't know where the option 'sleep' went, without active CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP it reports 'sleep mem.

    Running: (in single-user mode, using-s at startup, so this minimum amount is running)
    $ echo "mem" >/sys/power/state
    Things start to happen, the screen becomes white with a second or two which makes it difficult to actually identify what he began to do/don't, but then it's right there, fan is active, can't really tell if the hard drive is still turning but there is little change except the cutting screen. May not then wake up at all, screen remains blank, no access to disk AFAIK, left for 10 minutes or so just in case is to have time-out problems, nothing. Only solution then is to powercycle (now the power button / Stop button for more than 4 seconds) and start from scratch again.

    Have also tried 2.6.16.9 compilation and applied suspend2 patch in an attempt to get the machine to suspend to disk, not my ideal choice but any suspension would be good at this point. All patched and updated ok, (taken 2.6.19.9 simply own patches against the kernel version had suspend2 I knew) running script "hibernate" written in the file or the fine swap, it shuts the laptop very well, but just the recovery does not. Tried FilesWriter initially and then went down to the most frequent SwapWriter, added ' echo >/proc/suspend2/do_resume ' initrd and also tried adding a script to/etc/mkinitrd/scripts that appear on a couple of distro Debian suspend2 lists for initrd plays, still no joy.
    Tried to adjust compression = none in the config I noticed that when using FileWriter with initrd problem lack the lzf module, rather than messing around trying to add lzf to initrd I figured disabling compression at least would allow me to test, still no joy. SwapWriter I got close, looked like, he begins to take over, then the laptop restarts after just a few seconds and then start normally, start info went. Nothing in the paper that I can see to suggest there is no problem at all.

    Am I missing something completely obvious here? I have searched several sites, came up with very little. Doesn't sound like a lot of people have linux on a Tecra M5, the few that relate the bits of material work, none seems to talk about Eve/suspension. Or maybe it chance is just a lot better than mine!

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this to work? I would like to be able to "standby" (S1) the laptop at the beginning so at least the material should continue to work on summary, then possibly S3/S4 (suspension on ram or disk) later if I can get this work and equipment to take back the goods. Only the next step I can think acpidump but my knowledge of the workings of ACPI is nonexistence, otherwise than to know it should work better than it does currently.

    Suggestions welcome!

    Thank you very much
    Pete

    Hello

    It is also possible that standby or Hibernate mode is not important for users. ;)
    In my view, it is important that this OS runs stabile and hardware components are recognized correctly.

    Sorry but I can't help you and hope another user of Tecra M5 with Linux has better luck than you.

    In any case good luck!

  • Satellite A205-S4777 random freezing, laptop currently unusable

    Hi all

    I tried to fix a few problems with my sister's laptop. She pointed out (and I have seen) completely random suspended system. The laptop everything freezes and does not recover. Only solution was to manually reboot the machine.

    I tested the RAM, HD and disassembled the laptop and reinstall the heat sink applying AS5. In my attempt to delivery of a damaged operating system I have scratched the operating system and tried to clean install several operating systems (vista, win7, and most recently ubuntu 11.04).

    What is surprising is the fact that I can do the following without problems:
    -memtest for 12 hours
    -seatools UBCD for a long time
    -surf around the BIOS
    However when I try to install a new os it invariably crashes / freezes.

    Did I miss something? Can someone shed light on the issue here?

    Your answers are very appreciated thanks in advance.

    How many memory Modules are installed?

    One of them is maybe defective, despite the passage of Memtest.

    My internal left mouse button are suspended, it will not be shared when I lift my finger from the button. I want to fix it myself.

    Can be resolved, or what I need to change the button or key to palm?

    I have too many Satellite P500, but I use it mainly with an external mouse so that the touchpad is still in perfect condition. I use when I use touchpad tapping option using the left button of the mouse is not necessary.

    Anyway, in your case it is clear from material. I don't know if you can fix it yourself and if something is damaged, but what you can do is to remove the top cover for laptop and take a look at what may be wrong with that. To be honest, I can't imagine you can find or order unique pieces, but maybe you can find any touchpad of some defective P500 and try to exchange it.

    As I wrote I P500 too and I have to say that it is really hard to find parts for it. Have you already checked if you can find parts for it?
