• Pavilion g6t locked up, while you sleep, when you close the lid, or try to power off

  My Pavilion g6t crashes when the screen turns off, or computer goes to sleep, also is not out with stop-power function.  Power light stays on, only is to restart the computer to completely turn off with power button / stop, and then re login.   This happened just after a HP recommended Refresh, any ideas?

  I went back to the HP driver downloads support and ran an another Bios Update.

  Alto, the computer began to work properly, the screen will be lite to the top of the keyboard.

  Once asleep, wakes you up by button tapping power and computer stops correctly.

  HP/Microsoft should seek to solve the problem of no compatibility with Bios level and

  other 'stuff' in the computer.

  Thank you

• When a close the lid of my portable computer Windows Media Player stops, and when I open it, it picks up.

  When a close the lid of my computer laptop wmp stops and when I open it, it resumes. This only happens on the battery. I have it set to not sleep, and there is no screen saver. I want to use my cell phone as an mp3 player without having to leave the lid open. is there anyway to prevent a break?

  original title: WMP stops when the lid is closed

  Open Power Options - you can do it from the control panel by typing Power Options in the start menu, or by right click on the battery icon in your system tray (right end of the taskbar.)
  Click on "change plan settings" for your current power management.  On the next page, click "Change advanced power settings".  On the box that opens, expand 'Power buttons and lid', then 'action close cover.'  Change the selection to "on battery" to the 'status quo', and then click OK.  Close the power Plan window.

• 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?

  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...

• Computer will not be put into hibernation when I close the lid

  I have a problem with my laptop. It is a series of Toshiba C55. When I close the lid it will not be in hibernation, even if I set power options to do so. This happens not all the time, but it happens enough that it's boring. If I close the lid and it will not be in hibernation, which means that it is in danger of overheating if I put in my backpack. If I use the start menu, it just goes to the lock screen, that's what I suspect it is when I close the lid. Help on that would be great.

• 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.

• 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

• 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 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?

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Takes too long to Hibernate when I close the lid - also the noise of random device when starting

  Hello guys.

  Since I wiped the machine, I had these two problems. When I close the lid, he used to go to bed right now, but now I see the light of sleep (and the power button), flash and flash, and then he goes to sleep.

  Upon awakening, he crosses the start of lenovo screen and resumption of the windows, then it asks for a password, before I used to open the lid and he was asking me the password immediately. I know it was going to sleep because I could hear the beep immediately when I closed and opened, but now it takes just too long.

  In addition, every time I have boot into windows or resume in a sleep state windows, I hear the sound of the device, like something being connected input/output. But there's nothing being plugged or back at the time. I can't to Device Manager fast enough to see who it is who is the cause.

  But all the drivers seem to be correct.

  Thanks in advance.

  Sam.

  EDIT: Also noticed, when the lid is closed, randomly the laptop turns off (beep) one then turns left.

  Weird.

  T420 model number: 4180-PR1 with operating system: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  Completely wiped the machine and reinstalled everything. No Acronis this time and work all fine.
