• Windows 8 do not sleep when I close the lid

  I just got the Elitebook 850 G1 and I put all the parameters of sleep when I close the lid and wake up when I open it. I checked the two settings in windows and in the BIOS and it's all good, but when I do actually, he does not wake up but restarts the computer instead. So when I was away typing on Word, fortunately I constantly save it but it's not back to where I left off. I thought it was one of the graphic drivers first, because he has dual graphics, intel and ati. He had a few problems with the ATI card, but I think that I fixed it. I am running windows 8.1 Pro.

  What can I do else?

  Edit:

  I tried changing the settings to hibernate instead, and what he gave me was a BSOD.  Video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error. I remember that what made the first time I tried to do it before when he was on the way 'sleep'. any suggestions?

  is not serious, I fixed it. It turns out that the new graphics driver intel was the culprit. I had to revert to a previous version. works perfectly now

• Laptop shuts off and turns on when I close the lid

  Hi, I just bought a HP Pavilion 15-n253sv and I noticed that when I close the lid its turns off instead of getting in standby mode. Also when I stopped it, and then I close the lid it lights up. Its like the on off button. Is it a hardware problem that I must return the laptop? I checked out the settings and it is said that when the lid is closed it just goes to the standby mode. I have win 8.1.

  Hi Biliou,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  If I understand you correctly, your computer shuts down when you close the lid, and if it is turned off and you close the lid it lights.  I think you are right to think it's a hardware problem. You can contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click on the link to get help from your region number. Contact HP worldwide

  I hope that this helps, please let me know how it goes.

  Thank you and have a great day!

• Computer locking when I close the lid

  I have a laptop sony vaio vgn-aw290. When I got it after you have configured the fingerprint reader it would lock the computer when I closed the lid. If I close and open it immediately and it would make me a password. He wouldn't buy support standby or hibernation, it would simply lock the computer. recently, we went to panama, fl on vacation and this feature no longer works. don't know why or how or exactly when. I looked through the settings and power options and may not know how to re - set parameters to lock the lid closed. I also have an HP that has begun to stay unlocked when I close the lid. I would like to know how to configure it to crash when the lid closes, so I don't need the screen saver locks with a password to send it in stand-by or press win + L before I close the lid.

  Hi Mr. Folse,.

  Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

  You can follow the procedure below to change the Power Options.

  1. Click Start, then Control Panel.

  2 double click on Power Options.

  3. under "Advanced", set the option "When I close the lid of my portable computer" according to your preferences.

  If the steps above fail then I suggest to run a system restore to a date when the option was working properly.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue. 2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next. 3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next. 4. click on finish.

  Hello

  Like this sound like a hardware problem, you should contact HP and arrange for the laptop repaired while you are still under warranty.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

• I get email when I close the lid of my new inspiron

  When I close the lid of my new laptop Inspiron I don't get the emails.  I also do not receive if the lid is open and I have not used the computer for a while. Can you still get emails on outlook while your computer is in mode 'sleep'?

  You will receive e-mail messages, regardless of the mode 'sleep', etc...

  I've never had mail downloaded from the server until I "wake up" my computer. Never have.

• When I close the lid on my MBP, it goes to "Standby" to "Hibernate" why?

  My MacBook Pro for six years had been working perfectly until about a month earlier, when he stopped to stay in Mode standby when I closed the lid.

  With the lid closed, initially, he goes to sleep, but after about 30 seconds, it goes into hibernation mode and to turn on again, I have to press the power button. I then get a grey screen and no use of the trackpad. Shortly after, the gray screen disappears and the machine works perfectly.

  The battery life is very good (68%), I have reset the SMC and I have not loaded the new software. The only thing I can think is that this started to occur at the time of the last update of Safari.

  Does anyone else have this problem?  Comments or suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hello, Spring Lake Bob!

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reviewing your post, I understand that your MacBook Pro sleeps as expected when you close the lid. Instead, it goes into a hibernation mode that requires you to press the power button to interact with him again. I certainly understand wanting to make sure that the computer sleeps when it should wake up how it should. I'd be happy to help you!

  Get help with your situation, I would say using the article below the link to help isolate and solve the problem of sleep.

• External screen goes blank when I close the lid Satellite P100

  Hi all.
  I hope someone has an idea as to what is happening here.

  Sometimes I like to watch a dvd or use the center of the media on my HD TV. I use Windows Vista to make it.

  When I had XP installed, I close the lid of the laptop and watch them to my heart's content. Now with Vista, I need to have the lid open be able to watch on the external display. If I close to you then the external screen is empty, as if I unplugged the laptop.

  That makes me free! What worries me is burn-in screen, because the standby screen not turn on as I am watching video.

  Help! Someone! Anyone!

  AFAIK in Vista that you can use the same options as under WXp. check please supply option and you will find an option called when I close the lid. As option, choose no action.

  I think you should be able to close the lid while watching the movie on screen.

• Satellite 1800-314: when I close the lid it won't go in standby mode

  I hope someone can help.
  I recently had my Satellite 1800-314 (Windows XP) re-formatted and now when I close the lid he's going to sleep... the power light flashes orange, when I opened the lid still once, Windows stops and then restarts. I tried to install the Toshiba power settings, defining "when I close the lid, in standby mode", does not.

  Have uninstalled then Toshiba power settings and all the settings of ordinary power in the Panel of 'sleep', etc., but it REST did not return to standby mode.
  I'm tired now.
  Is there a simple solution that I'm missing?

  Grateful in advance for any help!

  Hello

  You know it's very important to install drivers in the correct order.
  The installation of common modules at the beginning is important because some drivers of Tosh need this application to work properly.
  If the energy saver has been installed on the operating system windows power settings will not work.
  Toshiba crash parameters the parameters of Microsoft.

  In addition, please check your BIOS preinstalled. Compare the version with the BIOS on the page. If your uses of the unit the old version, so try to update.
  But be careful. You must use the good BIOS and the right procedure upgrades.

• Empty desktop computers are created when I close the lid

  Hi guys,.

  I'm using version: 10.11.2 (15 c 50) of El Capitan. Most of the time when I close the lid of my MacBook and open later, I notice that desktop empty 10 - 15 have been created while I was not using it. I have no idea why this is happening, but one thing is certain: it has happened after the update to El Capitan.

  Is this a known issue? You have any ideas what could help?

  Thank you

  Try to download and reinstall the os x on top of what you have.  He should leave intact user files.

  Of course, it is always good to have a redundant backup plan in place.

• Satellite A200 AH3 stops instead of standby when I close the lid

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A200 AH3. When I bought Windows Vista was preinstalled (I still drive recovery). When I closed the lid of the previous day (I mean the monitor turn off the HD, the cooling fan and all the rest). The light On / Off on the laptop turned to a flashing orange light.

  Then I opened the lid and Windows prompted me to the logon screen. This process occurred when the laptop starts on the battery, not when it is plugged. Everything was going fine.

  But I formatted the HD to install WIndows XP that I bought Windows vista seem to be too heavy for my laptop. So I installed Windows XP and the driver and the software available on the Toshiba site. Now when I close the lid, the Windows shut down very quickly (about5-6 seconds). However, it is a real firm. When I reopen it cover anything happen.

  Then I press the power button / stop and start Windows, normally (no screen saying that windows close annormally and no Safe Mode boot option). Even if I change the setting in the control panel/power Option or the Toshiba Power Saver, utility and I put them to sleep, he always make a stop down.

  How do I restore that?

  Hello!

  Have you downloaded the BIOS for Windows XP?
  For the Satellite A200, there are two versions available; one for XP and one for Vista.

  Also, make sure that you have the latest graphics card driver and keep your XP to date.

  Good bye

• Monitor not turns off when I close the lid!

  I have a compaq evo n1015v running windows xp pro, and when I close the lid the monitor stays on! How can I do to the monitor turns off when I close the lid?

  I have a compaq evo n1015v running windows xp pro, and when I close the lid the monitor stays on! How can I do to the monitor turns off when I close the lid?

  This is probably controlled by the power settings. Once you enter the power settings there should be an option something similar to 'change the closure of the hood '. There are probably several options such as sleeping, ect...

• When I close the lid on my laptop, random programs begin to run.

  1. so here's the deal:

  I have laptop Dell XPS L502X in Win7 Pro;

  b. out of nowhere, and all of a sudden the next irritating problem started havoc. When I close the lid on my laptop at night, random programs begin to run. The desktop icons move into other folders or the trash. It changes the size of the larger icons... it changes even the settings 'snap to grid '.

  2 until you tell me to turn it off or put it to sleep extended mode... I need to let you know that I need to leave the mobile "awake" so that it downloads my incremental changes to Carbonite cloud, as well as my local/resident of mirror [Carbonite] drive.

  3 oh yes: I also went up to disable the 'mouse' integrated glidepoint device, too: same result... madness.

  4 I jumped every hoop I can think... to run the diagnostics runs each available from Norton 360 scan... Online / remote - to both Norton AND Microsoft support.

  Help!

  I can understand your annoyance in that regard. I appreciate your effort posting this query to the Microsoft Forums.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. Did you change in the computer before this problem?
  2. What types of files are open when you close the lid of the laptop?

  Please provide the Event Viewer logs to resolve the issue and the screenshot of the desktop icons.

  Check out the link to check the Event Viewer logs.

  Note: However, the link is good for Windows XP, you can check the link to check the computer for Windows 7 Event Viewer logs.

  I suggest that we do a system restore to last good configuration.

  You can check the link below to perform a restore of the system.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/system-restore-FAQ#1TC=Windows-7
