Power management & random question sleep/put into hibernation

Hello people!

First of all, I'm an administrator COMPUTER experienced, and I've owned 6 Thinkpads over the years... the machine in question is today a Thinkpad W530 (K1000M, 16 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD Intel, Windows 7 x 64, latest drivers and BIOS).

I had a weird problem where out of no where, and while on battery, the computer will go to the default mode ' uh oh, battery runs out, record everything! Aka, if Hibernate is enabled, the computer will be in hibernation. If I disable Hibernate in Windows, then the computer go to sleep. So the problem is same, and for other symptoms can present as "hibernate without warning" instead of "sleep without warning.

In any case, this occurs sporadically and often at times that bothers. The first few times, I didn't know what has increased, but I looked into it a little further now.

Immediately after this forced sporadic "sleep" / "hibernate" happens, I checked the event log:

"

The system to sleep.

Reason to sleep: battery

"

Now, obviously, this is no good. I was a little confused the first time I saw that as the power manager, or the built-in Windows gauge showed low battery. And after that I take for sleep/hibernate mode, the battery is still fine.

Today, however, I only found a major clue. This time, instead of simply jumping to a sleep/hibernate event, I got a low battery critical Windows popup warning first, and looking at the Windows battery meter was shown left 7%, even if Lenovo Power Manager gauge showed a little more than 50% left. Almost immediately after, he does it is sleep and I wake him up once again, and of course, as always, the battery level returns to normal.

If long story short, it's a pretty serious battery level report bug somewhere in the drivers of power? Or is it a bad battery? (And if that were the case, why only Windows reports the State of the intermittent dangerously low battery, Lenovo Power Manager no?)

Just curious for some feedback, otherwise, I'll have to start RMAing parts, or even the entire machine. Of course, having Windows sometimes think that the battery is not about to die is not acceptable. Imagine if I was doing something critical and decides the computer "uh oh, battery low time.» close it as soon as possible! ».

Yes. Define your event of critical battery doing nothing. It is a workaround, but it is not too bad workaround.

  • Probook450G3: question sleep/put into hibernation

    I did a fresh install of windows 10Prox64 on this laptop which is originally pre-loaded with windows7 Prox64. I installed the drivers on the disc included. now, every time the laptop into hibernation or sleep I can't wake him up - the screen blinks several times then turns white. Nothing comes on the screen even not the mouse pointer. I can only continue by making a forced power off feeding and when I start her works normally as long as he does not sleep. I installed all the updates driver/Windows with the same result. Is there something else I can try other than to return to HP?

  • 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 :)

  • computer won't stay asleep or put into hibernation

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 on a desktop computer.  I used to leave it on all the time but now I want it to go to sleep or put into hibernation after a few minutes (and stay that way until we want to use it).  I tried to sleep, hibernate and hybrid sleep.  It will turn off, but in a few minutes he returned upward by itself.  Sometimes it seems to scroll, and down every few minutes.

    I read that USB devices can cause this, but only the mouse and keyboard are attached via the USB port.  There are two internal hard drives.

    A thought-

    Check the network and sharing Center

    Some settings of the map change

    A click with the right button on your network adapter

    Select Properties

    Select Configure, then power management

    and make sure that allow this device to wake the computer is not checked?

  • laptop is not put into hibernation after "standby mode"

    Reference Dell dear community,

    I have an Insipron 17R core i5 zm2410, NVIDIA Geforce 525 m, win8 64bits and I am facing a problem with hibernation mode / sleep.

    About 2 weeks ago my laptop went mode hibernation after beeing in mode 'sleep' for 2 hours on battery (for total draining of the battery to advoid).

    Now, it is not do it anymore but remains on "sleep" during all the time and drains the battery.

    I usually remove the power cable from the laptop during the night because of the noise of the adapter and the laptop always put into hibernation after beeing in mode 'sleep'. I went over the configuration in options plans and power supply and even reset and configured them again, without success.

    The only changes made to the system are important updates of windows

    I'm grateful for any suggestions or solutions.

    Have you checked to see if Hibernation is still active? Open an administrator mode command prompt and type: powercfg/h on.

  • My Satellite A100 would not be put into hibernation

    Hello

    My laptop would not be in hibernation when I activate in the windows toolbar.
    When I activate the hibernation it will normally, but when the monitor takes blue and says "prepare put into hibernation" the monitor or system do not shoutdown (turn off), why?

    Is that the same for the suspend mode.

    I did a survey on my laptop and see I mode hibernation is enabled in control panel > power Setings > Hibernation

    My laptop is a Satellite A100.

    Sorry for my English.

    Thanks a lott!

    Hey Buddy,

    Sometimes, these problems of hibernation / suspension are caused by some programs that can't be closed from vista. Or your toshiba powersaver works bad, maybe some settings have been
    badly configured through that-I-know-what program or something else.

    I suggest you first: when you try to hibernate/suspend, then try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL to see what applications are STILL running. Try closing the applications in the order of
    see when the machine will be really placed in hibernation. If this doesn´t has helped you, then try reinstalling the powersave (first uninstall correctly your system) and give a few
    What feedback happening.

  • T500 will not be put into hibernation on Windows 7

    I have a problem with the Hibernate. I did a fresh install of Win7 x 64, had some difficulty finding drivers and so on, but I got everything.

    Sleep function works perfectly, but when I try to put the computer in hibernation, is the only thing that is happening, that the screen turns off, and when I move the mouse or touchpad that it turns on again, I put in my pass or fingerprint, and everything is as if nothing has happened.

    I tried with graphics integrated or discrete, lenovo Power Manager installed or uninstalled, hybrid sleep is turned off, wake on LAN is off...

    Tried to disable network cards, USB ports... nothing helps.

    Any ideas?


  • Put into hibernation, and then restart the two computer sending to a complete stop

    Totally out of the Blue yesterday (20 December 2010) my laptop running XP Pro SP3 with full updates developed a need where Hibernate (via the shutdown menu and pressing the on/off switch) sends the computer to a complete stop after briefly posting the 'Preparing to Hibernate' screen but is progressing not not to the Windows XP screen. Similarly, Restart completely shuts down the computer and does not restart automatically.  I checked, disarmed and reset the settings to the hibernation effect power management.  Any ideas?

    For aand Stand By issues of hibernation, I always start with video dirvers.

    Can you think of changes in the field of video drivers since finally things worked?

    So far, all we know is that you have a laptop computer with Service Pack 3.

    It is good that you have SP3, because there were some problems with Hibernate and Stand By fixed in SP3.  You can read about them here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946480

    If you want to see what you have now, or if you have problems later, follow these steps:

    Usually and easy to check and correct, is the video drivers for your system that must be downloaded to your global manufacturers Web site. Download the correct (recent) video drivers for your graphics card, install the correct video drivers, reboot your system, and then test.

    If you can not know how to check if your video drivers are correct, may not know how to get to the World Wide Web of manufacturers or can not know what to do then, maybe we can look at it for you if you provide more information.

    What is your system brand and model?

    If you are not sure what you have, or need another set of eyeballs on it, follow these steps:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click Edit, select all, copy and paste then return here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete it.

    This minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork, trying things and assumptions.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Put into hibernation and sleep does not

    I'm running Windows 7 on HP ProDesk 400 G1 Mt.  Computer won't rest not in mode "sleep".  Followed all the other suggestions forum: passed through Device Manager to uncheck all ' authorize computer startup device; "disconnected all devices, including the router/modem; Cleaning to start the program; has run several programs to identify unwanted programs.   But the computer always wakes up from his sleep periodically, if I put it to sleep or let that stop you with auto power saving function.

    I don't get the Hibernate to the start/stop option.  A suggestion of the forum was to go to configsys and activate the hibernation, but I don't have the answer to configsys that would allow me to activate the Hibernate.  Configsys gave me a cbreaks and when I typed hibernation in various forms, I got message that command was not recognized.

  • Satellite A200 - no audio device after the awakening of the mode 'sleep' or 'putting into hibernation'

    I own a Satellite A200 laptop computer with Windows Vista.

    Sometimes when I put my laptop in 'stand by' mode or 'Hibernate', he wakes up with no audio device. (Error - no installed audio device). The problem is solved by restarting my computer, or by placing it in the back to 'stand by' and turning it back on.

    I reinstalled my OS using the recovery cd - and the exsists yet problem.
    (Version 1.30, Audio bios driver ver. 6.0.1.5374)

    Is this a known problem or is it just my computer? I'm afraid that it is a hardware problem. (The laptop is less then 1 month).
