Vista wakes up immediately mode 'sleep' and then at irregular intervals

When our standard Dell Vista machine is put into mode 'sleep' almost always wakes up in 30 seconds approximately. It is in "standby mode" for more than a few minutes it then randomly wakes at other times.

There is no scheduled tasks or updates running during these times so I don't know why he wakes up so often. SP1 has been applied and its updated with patches.

Anyone know why the mode 'sleep' is more than a NAP of 10 seconds?

See you soon

"Wake on LAN" is a parameter you can probably find in BIOS Setup settings, accessed at the start of the boot.

  • Windows Vista goes to sleep and then wakes up immediately at the login screen

    Hey mate,

    I have too many Qosmio F50 and you can change the option if, after hibernate or stand-by the account should be locked or not. As far as I know that this can be changed in power management.

    About this window of Event Viewer, I never heard talk about this and my Qosmio F50 works fairly well with Windows 7. You have installed all the drivers for it? You have yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

    I also used Windows 7 drivers, but did you download from the Toshiba page? These drivers are pre-tested and normally should work pretty well.

    Well, I activated the incoming and outgoing settings under sharing files and printers in the firewall. I've also set up a connection between the router and the printer security rule. Since then, I was able to ping the router and the router by its IP number regularly for more than 72 hours. I hope that this solves the problem and everyone helps the dilemma.

  • Vista wakes up from his sleep by himself

    As the title says, my vista pc wakes up from his sleep by himself. Normally, he'll sleep for 10-15 minutes before you wake up. At other times, it is random and wake up in 2 minutes or 30 minutes. I looked in the forums of countless and tried the suggested solutions, but can not solve the problem. The only thing I found to keep him asleep is disconnected the network cable from the PC or unplug the network cable from the cable modem. I suspect some service or program he wakes up, but I have no idea of that. Here's what I tried:

    I used powercfg command-line command to see which devices have been enabled to wake up the pc. They were only the mouse & keyboard. They are all two peripheral cables usb. I unplugged each separately before you put the pc to sleep and he will still be awake. I use "last_wake" but I just get '0' and in the event viewer it says "wake source unknown.

    I made sure "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" has been verified for the network adapter in the power management tab. I also disabled the option in the advanced NIC Properties. I also disabled it in the bios. After having done that and the pc wakes up is still what intrigues me the most when I don't know if I unplugged the NIC in the pc go to sleep for hours until I decided to wake up. It is wired not wireless.

    I have that 'sleep' lit. There are no hybrid sleep or hibernation available mode.

    It is vista business so I don't have a Media Center. Media Player is not enabled for sharing files on the network or to pick them up. Media sharing is turned off, and it's only pc's on my network. Also just in the 'media settings' box is configured to allow the pc to go to sleep in power options.

    I checked the Task Scheduler for tasks that can be set for 'wake up this computer' so it can work, but only one of them has this option. It's for multiple monitors and I unchecked the box and the pc wakes up still. I checked for hidden tasks, and the only one I found that could be the culprit was MS RSS. However, after the removal of this pc still wakes up.

    I don't have a sidebar option.

    Windows Update is set on notify me when updates are available.

    I also did a msconfig & selected 'selective startup '. I have uncontrolled startup programs. The pc is still awake.

    Tried to start the pc in safe mode, but there is no option of sleep available to test if it wakes you up from his sleep in safe mode.

    Last but not least is when the pc is wake up he's going to sleep again within 2 minutes.

    As you can see I tried everything I could think of without much success. Can someone tell me something again or that I have not tried?

    I have no idea what you're trying to do, but here's what I found my problem. I have a motherboard intel. Although I disabled "wake on lan" both vista & bios there was yet a 3rd parameter I was not aware of. He was set apart from the bios or vista. It is a framework of intel in the 'management engine interface' if I remember correctly. It is accessible after the bios option and before loading windows. Once I turned it off my pc stop, out of sleep. So, if you have a motherboard intel, then that is your problem.

  • Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered successfully after sleep, and then blue screen

    original title: display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered successfully after sleep, then BSOD.

    Well, if not some time ago, we got a Nvidia GeForce 240GT video card. We used an ATI Radion 3460 I think and it worked normally. Then when we got the nVidia card, we started to see the problems. Occasionally, he would show the blue screen of death. I tried to reproduce the error and came to an interesting conclusion. Whenever I put the computer in sleep mode turn off mode 'sleep', I wait a bit and then the login screen appears. I connect and it shows me the "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully. Then after that, if I go on YouTube and try to watch a video, the computer hangs and a BSOD would leap upward. I am angry. I used "standby mode" so and with the new map video, everything got worse. I tested this problem on Windows Vista and 7. And btw, the drivers are up-to-date, I made sure the driver nvlddmkm himself file is up-to-date, and temperatures are perfect.

    update the drivers from NVIDIA. Also make sure that your power supply is powerful enough to handle the new nVIDIA card. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

  • Windows switches mode 'sleep' and is now stuck at 'update 27 of 105.

    Help, please!  Last night, I closed my laptop and he told me it was going to continue to install updates.  105 ofr them.  I have not thought very well no problem because I was going to bed anyway.  So I close the lid and go to bed when he was to be updated on 27.  When I opened this morning - a full 15 hours later, it was still updating the 27.  So I waited and nothing happened.  It has not frozen as the blue circle turns again.

    I turned off and removed the battery and then lit it back to see he's trying to return to the update of the 27.  So I tried from the laptop in safe mode and now it says "update configuration" but in a lower resolution. fun.  Is it possible that I can start windows and circumvent the updates?
