• Laptop will not go into sleep mode

  Mode, Sony laptop Vaio VGN-FE855E
  Intel centrino Duo 1.67 Ghz
  2 GB RAM 667 Mhz Kingston
  120 GB HDD
  Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family
  All the latest drivers as of April have been installed on the hardware.
  with Windows Vista SP1

  After receiving the last windows update for Windows Vista Premium, when you try to enter standby the computer hangs and will not enter sleep mode.
  Before reveiving updates he managed to switch mode sleep without problem and did every time. It will enter is no longer waiting for any means.
  I tried windows backup and Restore Center. After you select an older version before April 12, 2009, he was able to enter standby mode once more. Only after that the new updates, it was uninstalled had been relocated was not able to enter standby again.
  Initially, the computer starts to enter standby by closing the form. Then it goes weird after that, by the computer itself (which he never did before) inhibition and then it just hangs and the power light will not go to the flashing red indicating standby remains just green, who is running.
  The Hard drive is still spinning and accessing the hard drive very fast and light second every two seconds.
  When any key on the keyboard is hit the computer restores the sound itself and a sound through the speakers, which he has not already done. It then the screen turns on and brings the computer to lock screen / connection of the computer. I am able to log in and use normally.

  Hello, Justin

  Standby is activated in the Plan of high power Performance?

  You can check it out by going in the Power Options, click on change Plan under High Performance settings and check the computer put to sleep. If this option is enabled, click on change advanced power settings click on [+] Multimedia settings, when sharing media and change the setting to allow the computer to sleep.

  Let us know if that helps.

• laptop will not stop mode hibernation even after changing the system power settings.

  Hello

  I hope someone can help! I have a friend who is Dell laptop (Inspiron 1720 using Vista, I think than sp2) just started his laptop goes into hibernation mode randomly. He has never encouraged or warned against this hibernation. He has apparently hit the power button to sleep after his party in hiber. mode and press power to turn, but it will still in hibernation mode again and again. He disappeared into his system settings and turned everything forever or off, hes checked it several times and still, it still goes into hibernation mode. It's a little frustrating for him because he cannot yet ask for help, so why I'm here asking for help on his behalf. Its battery is apparently dead and does not have a load more but he has been dead for some time. He tried to run the laptop with the battery but nothing does not change or resolve the issue. can anyone help or suggest? Reformat im thinking is the only option, but he will lose a lot of information without being able to get all of his stuff backed up before his pc will again into hibernation mode

  My suggestions:

  1 turn off the hibernation option. Procedures are very easy... Here is the link:http://www.internetfixes.com/vista_tips/IF01166.htm

  2. to avoid that the computer will "sleep mode" instead:
  Back to the Power Options window > click on change Plan settings > click Exchange Advanced Ppwer settings > scroll multimedia settings, expand it (lick the sign more) > expand when media sharing > plugged in, set it as to prevent idling to sleep > click OK

• Laptop will not go to sleep when the lid is closed

  Separated from this thread.

  Same problem here. My settings say that my Toshiba will sleep when the lid is closed, but half the time is not asleep and I can feel it's hot and turns on the fan. I am so frustrated with this new laptop and Windows 8.1. Looks like too many bugs in the software or something. More I am working on the new laptop the more problems that I find, like screen discoloration as well. The forums are useless. I do what they say, and the problem is the same. Forget the call from Toshiba. Needless. Nobody will help unless you pay them money to subscribe. What customer service?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern here at the Microsoft Community forum. Let me help you with your concern.

  This problem may occur because of any change in power on your laptop options. If the default is set to hibernation and standby modes, your laptop goes to sleep when you close the lid, but then the Hibernate timer comes in and wake up your computer first and trying to Hibernate. He cannot go to Hibernate directly from mode 'sleep'. Go into the power settings and either disable hibernation or set the timer on a higher value.

  To apply the same setting to all plans:

  1. Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  2. On the Select a power plan page, click choose the cover.
  3. On the page define power buttons and turn on password protection , next to when I close the lid, choose what you want your laptop to do, both when it is running on battery and when it's plugged in.
  4. Click on save changes.

  Tip: To save battery power and quickly resume working, select sleep. Sleep is a power saving state that allows a computer quickly resume the operation of full power (usually in seconds) when you want to start working again.

  To apply a setting to a specific regime:

  1. Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  2. On the Select a power plan page, click change plan settings for the plan you want to change.
  3. On the change settings for the plan page, click change advanced power settings.
  4. Advanced settings tab, expand it cover and the Power button, action lid, choose what you want your mobile PC to do when you close the lid, for when it runs on battery and when it is plugged in, and then click OK.

  I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

• Laptop will not stop.

  My laptop 2 years w / El Capitan upgrade has been great to work for a long time. Now, it does not turn off. I reloaded the OS... any help. Now what?

  Hello Pmwilson,

  Make sure that all your applications are closed and just go to the Apple menu in the upper right and click Close. If problems persist, try the following hotfixes:

  • Try to determine if a particular application is the source of the problem. If an application crashes when you always stop and cancel it shutdown process can be updated (or reinstall).
  • Perform a software update (open the App Store, then click on updates > update all).
  • Update any software that you have installed outside of the App Store. In general, open the app and choose Help > application or update > update software.
  • Make sure you have FileVault disabled (System Preferences > Privacy & Security > FileVault > turn off FileVault).
  • Open disk utility. Choose the main hard drive and click on check the disc. If there is no problem, click Repair disk.
  • Choose the main volume in disk (below your primary drive) utility and choose verify disk permissions > repair disk permissions.
  • Reset the SMC. Follow this Apple Support article.
  • Back up and reinstall Mac OS X.

• Windows XP on my laptop will not stop from the start menu.

  It goes to the screen that says Windows stops, but he never does.

• Laptop will not go into sleep or Hibernate

  In the past two months my laptop has become more and more reluctant to go to sleep or Hibernate.

  Today, in spite of reboot several times, he wakesup immediately sleep and Hibernate rather like a reboot cycle: the light turns off, then she immediately roared back to life.

  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  It wouldn't matter if stop and start wasn't such painstakingly long process.

• Tried to import pictures. Will not stop or go away and I can't turn off my laptop

  I was importing pictures from a SD card to my Macbook pro and tried to do them all at once. There were about 700 pictures. Once, I moved their this tab below that presented themselves. After about 5 minutes of nothing don't be going on I tried again and now there are 2. I waited about an hour and nothing changed so I pressed X to stop the copy, and now it won't go away. He won't let me leave and because it will not stop I can't turn off my computer. What should I do to get rid of this.

  

  The easy way to recover is to hold down the power button until it turns off the MacBook Pro. Press the power button to restart the MacBook Pro.

• K010 ENVY: my laptop will not turn off

  Hello

  When I shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume my laptop, it will die completely.

  All programs will be closed (when stop or restart) and I think that OS will also close. But the laptop will not turn off. Power LIGHT and fan will stay on.

  And when I try to Hibernate, everything is ok, but I have the same problem.

  Whenever I have to turn it off by holding the power button, otherwise the battery will be discharged.

  After manual turn off, when I turn it on again, everything works correctly:

  -If hibernation: OS will continue to last situation.

  -If start/stop: OS works normally without error or warning.

  After sleep, OS works from the beginning. Because the data stored in RAM and will be deleted after power off.

  Perhaps a portable automatic perevent equipment turned off. All the drivers are up to date.

  Is there a parameter/software to check and fix my problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You are welcome

  On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

  You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

  Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

  Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

  Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

  When finished, restart the laptop.

  If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

• Satellite M40X-115 - cursor will not stop!

  I have a toshiba Satellite M40X-115 laptop with XP. My cursor starts moving and will not stop.

When you search the web, if I click on the arrow down, IE starts to scroll to the bottom and will not stop. If I open word, the time wherever I click on the page, the cursor starts to spacing.

  Any suggestions?

  It is not easy to understand what the problem is here, but did you notice this problem when you disable touchpad and you use an external mouse only?
