Sleep Mode settings

I was wondering if there was a way to disable the mode "standby", only when the computer is idle?  Like say I want to play music on my laptop as I do in bed.  If I close the lid, it stops the music and goes to sleep.  I don't want to leave the lid open and having my bright computer screen shining at me all night.  Is there so one played to disable mode 'sleep', what kind of music?  Otherwise, I like the "standby".

Thank you.

Ive already been to this Web page and through the configuration.  I don't want to not completely turn off mode 'sleep', I only turn it off when Im playing music, or by downloading a movie or something.  Its annoying to have to leave the lid open for all this.  But if the computer does nothing, IE play music or download, I want to go to sleepy.

If I have a playlist of music, I want to hear the music with the lid closed, but then I want the computer to get to sleep after the music is made play.

  • Power Options and reset randomly sleep mode settings.

    It turns out that windows 7 will change ALL its parameters of power in itself! I'll let him sleep a few nights, come home and wake up... only to see my login screen. (I have the normally disabled option in power options). But all my work is always there, so the machine does not restart (or turn off and just resume hybrids) is for sure in s3. Power options check and everything is set crazy, not all back to the default values for either.

  • HP OfficeJet 3830: 3830 HP wireless printer is offline in "sleep mode" and don't wake up to print

    I've just set up a HP OfficeJet 3830 as a printer connected to my network wireless domestic (Airport Extreme Base Station router 802.11ac wireless). I was able to print-out of my MacBook, but when the printer goes into sleep mode, it appears offline and unresponsive to print. I have to restart the printer for her to appear online and respond. The printer will be in the basement, so it would be very inconvenient down to reboot just to print it. Kind of defeated the purpose of a wireless printer. I tried to disable the sleep mode to see if it works, but sleep mode settings cannot be disabled in the printer preferences. I already spent 3 hours to solve this problem.

    I contacted HP technical support to solve the problem. The person told me restore default settings and then unplug the power to the printer and the router wireless for 30 seconds. After restarting the router, then the printer, we have connected the printer to the network with a static IP address. Who did the trick. Even if the printer is in "sleep" for several hours, it has not disappeared in offline mode, as it is done before. Problem solved for now. Hope this helps others.

  • How can I change the settings Windows XP Pro so it stops completely rather than go into sleep mode?

    I run Windows XP Pro and am fed up with my PC, switch to 'sleep' mode when I told him to stop.  How can I change the settings so it stops completely instead of sleep mode? Please do not assume that I know computers - a complete manual would be better. Thank you very much.

    Hello Cosmicbbb,

    Thank you for your message.  If you want to withdraw your option set to the option "Turn off computer", you can make the following registry edit.
    Click Start > click Run > type regedit and press "Enter."
    Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ACPI\Parameters.
    Right-click in the empty space in the right pane and select new | DWORD value.
    Attribute value name
    Then, double-click attributes
    Make sure hexadecimal is selected by breaking 70
    Click OK, close the registry editor and restart.
    Now when you choose to stop the computer in the start menu in XP, you will not be able to choose the day before by accident.

    Hello

    1. what happens when you restart the computer from sleep? It back to windows, such as the release of sleep or does go through the normal boot process?

    2 have you done any recent software or the hardware changes on your computer?

    3. don't you face the problem only by playing games?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run a full scan of your computer and check.

    Microsoft Security Essentials

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, it is possible that infected files would be deleted.

    Method 2:

    I also suggest you to start your computer in a clean boot state, and check if all third-party software could be the cause. Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: Don't forget to return the computer to normal after completing the troubleshooting by following the steps described in step 7.

    Method 3:

    I also suggest that you perform a clean boot material to check if the problem is caused by any device.

    Follow these steps to perform a clean boot material:

    a. disconnect all external devices.

    b. start the computer in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    c. click 'Start', type 'DEVMGMT.» SMC"in the search text box and press ENTER."

    d. expand "graphics cards".

    e. right click on your graphics card, select "Properties"

    f. click the "driver" tab, click on disable (disable the selected device). Click OK

    g. use the same method to disable other devices such as: map of the sound card, Modem, network, CD - R drive. Note Some devices not available must be disabled.

    h. restart the computer.

    After you turn off the devices, start in normal mode and try to activate the devices one by one and check which device is causing the problem.

    Hello

    • Remember to make changes to the system?
    • Who is the manufacturer of the graphics card and what is the model?
    • What version of Windows are you using?

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download the latest drivers for the graphics card and install on the system and check. See the article mentioned below.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Method 2:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot and check.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  • Satellite C50D - A - 13N - Windows question sleep mode 8.1 alarm

    Hello

    I hope someone who knows more about than me power management can help!

    I bought a C50D-A-13N Satellite a few days ago and it was fine.
    However, I had a problem with the mode 'sleep' a couple of times.

    The laptop goes into mode 'sleep' as expected (when the lid is closed or when I press the power button). However, when I press the power button to turn it back on, it comes to life for a few seconds - the screen is on and I can move the mouse and interact with other things - but backwards past mode after a few seconds. All I can do to make it work is to close completely by holding down the power button and restarting, I REALLY hate to do.

    The laptop is fully charged and plugged or unplugged happy.

    Everyone knows about this problem in Windows 8.1 front?

    Thank you

    On my laptop, I use the same settings but when I close the laptop lid goes into sleep mode. When I opened the laptop lid starts automatically without using the power button / stop.

  • Satellite Pro L650 doesn't get often from sleep mode

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro L650, model No.: PSK1KA-00Y01E running Windows 7 64 bit.
    This laptop does not pick up often after mode "Eve".

    Can anyone offer suggestions on how to fix this?

    What's happening:
    When the computer sleeps, either by pressing the sleep button, or by closing the lid, this seems to work very well.
    After a minute or 2, I try to get the computer goes through the lid opening, or by pressing the power button. Sometimes, it works correctly.

    Most of the time the lights white led at the front displays for a few seconds and then started. Then, press us the power button and, often, the computer starts and says that Windows has been shut down incorrectly and then completely restarts for a new session.

    Sometimes the computer does not start, and it must cut off the power, then press the power button, which then crosses a full restart of the computer for a new session.

    A few weeks ago, we installed the latest version of the bios (2.20), and the problem persists.
    Is it a driver problem or a hardware problem?
    If it is a driver problem, what drivers should I try to install?

    Thank you
    Graham

    Hello

    > After a minute or 2, I try to get the computer goes through the lid opening, or by pressing the power button. Sometimes, it works correctly.
    This means that this problem is not always, but sometimes only and it of not possible to replicate this.
    In this case is not easy to find a good solution for this

    > We have installed the latest version of the bios (2.20) a few weeks ago, and the problem persists.
    > Is it a driver problem or a hardware problem?
    In my opinion, it could be a software problem. I mean that the problem could be related to corrupt the OS Win. Maybe the registry is confused upward. Usually, if the laptop is in hibernation / sleep mode, by pressing power button should the reactivation of the system in this mode and not shut down the laptop.
    So maybe this is s question OS

    If I understand your message, you have just updated the BIOS but didn't try the recovery procedure. Well well, for checking if the problem hardware or software s, you should get the phone to the factory settings.

  • Satellite P30 Pro: Will not properly sleep mode

    Hello

    I do not normally use the standby feature, but it hibernates.
    Recently, I started using it, so I keep the supply charge of the power supply of the wireless mouse.
    Unfortunately, he's not exactly going in standby mode it used to - I close the lid and I can hear the fan turns off after a few seconds (about 20) standby red LED flashes and then they come back after 5/10 seconds and stays on.

    The standby light goes green on and in practice, it is, switches the screen off the power and the ADSL connection - that's all.
    I did close the cover of the last night and found this morning with 3 green LEDs on the fans running!

    Any help?
    Please note that the settings are correct - I just checked and it is set to go into sleep mode by closing the lid.

    If I understand you right, the laptop is on standby and it s is always connected to the local network.

    Well, maybe there is a wake-up on LAN enabled mode who wakes the machine automatically to standby mode.

    Try to access the BIOS and LAN / WLan, settings on the card and if necessary to disable this option.

    Norbert.

    Hello, Norbert

    Maybe you should check the settings of Vista power again. I have too many A300 and everything works fine.
    I tested it with all three power plans. Have you done the same?

    Usually, I use the BALANCED power plan and enter mode standby 20 minutes correctly.

  • Satellite A100-049 screen remains empty when reactivated from sleep mode

    Intermittently, have been left for a while my screen A100-049 remains empty when reactivated from sleep mode. It does not meet the access keys and have checked the settings which seem to agree.

    Notice that in this case the power button remains 'blue' and not to return to 'Orange flashing. Is this a common problem?

    Hello

    What do you with the mode 'sleep'? Do you mean the hibernation mode or the mode booth? What operating system do you use?

    Listen buddy. It's really not easy to say why it happens without running diagnostic tests. I think you should try to update the graphics driver and check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. Two updates might be useful in resolving these issues

    Good luck
