Windows 8 will not wake up mode 'sleep'

I have a Dell desktop with Windows 8 and he will wake up sleep mode, if it isn't being used for awhile but if left for a long time he goes to sleep and won't wake up. I tried to turn it back on

  • touch mouse
  • touch the power button / stop
  • using the windows key + C
  • no result except if I make a strong power down
Now, he has started to download windows updates without installing
The best that I have saved for the end... It will not cut down, it will only in power saving mode
very frustrating... suggestions please?

Was given this same problem and I fixed it.  Check to make sure that she is not actually wake up!  In my case was wake the computer itself, but the graphics card was not.  I could hear the processor fan back, hard disks turn upward, but nothing on my screen.  In my BIOS, there is an option to do not allow the built-in graphics adapter sleep.  It was called "RC6 make Standby" and I turned it off - fixed!

  • Hard drives will not remain in mode 'sleep'

    For two weeks, something strange happens. My hard drives in sleep mode and out instantly. They will not remain in mode 'sleep'. Any hour of delay, I place, they will behave like this. So even if I place a time to sleep 1 minute, you will hear them go to sleep and instantly out every minute, without interruption. It's used to work perfectly before for months. I have not installed anything again (with the exception of Windows updates). I checked with performance monitor, if something is accessing the disks, but there is no drive activity whatsoever. I also tried to stop the process as much as possible, but that did not help either. The only thing I've changed three weeks ago was my graphics (Radeon 6850 to GTX580) but I'm not sure that the problem started then. Only two weeks ago, I noticed the issue. If anyone else has experienced something like this?

  • Windows will not remain in mode 'sleep'

    My guess is that there is a task is scheduled during the time that I put my computer into sleep mode.  When I say not to go in standby mode, it will often directly go into "locked" mode only.  Another problem I had is that there was a time where the computer would go to standby very well, but when I went to use the computer the next day, I would find the office running, meaning not in locked mode or "standby mode".  I have tasks scheduled for a few nights, but another thing I'm wondering is, when the task is complete, it's supposed to go naturally in mode 'sleep' if I allowed him to sleep when he is silent for a certain period of time, including when a task is completed, even if the task brought the computer out of sleep for the task.  Help!

    Google vs sleep extended etc.}

    earlier posts below...

    I read a similar discussion asked by Lucas v21 who seemed to not have a confirmed solution.

    I also have Vista failed to wake up.

    Currently has active power to close screen = 10 min and sleep management = never. If I use the pop - up starting to enter the mode 'sleep', and then I either use the mouse, keyboard or power, the system is unable to wake up.

    It fails also to wake-up if I set the power plan to go to sleep 20 minutes.

    I tried everything that was referenced in the other discussion and several sequences without positive result.

    Here is a brief history.

    Until only March no problems with sleep. PC, a desktop studio Dell 540 with Vista service pack 2 and Radeon 3450 graphics card, logitech wireless mouse and keyboard Dell cable had entered sleep as requires it (display off 10, sleep to 20) for a long time and to wake up so I waved the mouse around or if she replied quickly, I would press the power button. BIOS has S3 STR.

    Towards end of March / beginning of April, I plugged a Tablet samsung 3 to transfer files. Shortly after there are 3 optional updates in windows updates to drivers. 2 succeeded, failed one of the PSG. However, I transferred the files ok because Vista was able to 'see' the data on the Tablet

    Around the same time, I installed an add-on for Excel and ntvdm has stopped working, but then I only restarted, no problem with this software.

    Google Update Wizard has also had an installation failed, but he then installed ok.

    Meanwhile, I have re-arranged the USB connections which included using a hub.

    In early April, I started meeting with failure of Vista to wake up, a couple of times. Then, there were one dozen or more windows (+ C++, VB, VS etc.) and other updates (JAVA, Apple iTunes..) which required restarts so I couldn't go back to early March using the restore. (I have all my files on an external hard drive backup).

    I used restore to exclude drivers Samsung Tablet, but do not remember when I did. Recently, I uninstalled the add-in Excel and other software. The MS software is still there.

    I use Norton Internet Security. I have run msconfig to exclude all services at startup, but service NIS does not seem to find his way back.

    I just disabled and disconnected from the logitech mouse and installed a cable plugged in the mouse.

    What is interesting, is that if I click on the mouse to wake up, I noticed that the laser does not receive power. You will see print screen images depending on whether there are several root showing hubs. There is merely a physical device and direct plugs of the pc. What has not appeared in the previous discussion, is that if the HID devices need to have power management allows device wake. I sent them to do.

    The watch button power management facility works / stop = stop. I tried 'sleep' and ' do nothing ' without effect.

    The screen has buttons which during awakening abortive effort, show "auto-detection" and then say press a key or move the mouse or press the power button.

    I think that's the problem, it's that it is not enough power to the alarm of devices to do their job because of the history of the drivers installed / hubs and that some need to be uninstalled, however when I try that, they are re-loads.

    So are there new ideas on how to wake up for work with power plan settings that put the system to sleep (if not, I'll just have to have sleep = never, or manually stop)?

    The screens soon

    In the meantime thanks for any help.

    OK, now solved.

  • ThinkPad T60 8744 will not stay in mode 'sleep'.

    I apologize if this question has already been addressed elsewhere in this forum; I looked at some length and any mention of it is found.

    I had a problem recently with my ThinkPad T60 8744-5BU running Windows Vista Business SP1.  Whenever I put my laptop sleep (whether by closing the lid or using the combo Fn + F4), it will remain so for anywhere from 30 minutes.  At one point during the transport, the laptop comes out fashion 'sleep'.  It is very good and everything except that it is usually in one of these sleeves neoprene inside my bag Targus, which means that at the time when I get where I'm going, I could use it to make pancakes.

    Because it always seems to happen while I'm away, I figured that maybe it was a problem with an Active Protection, but neutralizing him did not resolve the issue.

    Has anyone run into this problem or heard of something similar?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Ben

    Well, welcome to the forum,

    There are several discussions on the subject or similar. I searched using wake-up and sleep and I hope that this thread will have some useful information for you.

  • Mac Pro (2013) will not wake up from sleep after that put 10.11.2 up-to-date

    Problem:

    After that Mac Pro goes to sleep, keyboard and mouse enter don't wake him. Disconnect and reconnect the monitor will not help either. Unplug the monitor wouldn't be helped either. Hotkeys to stop will not help either. (I use Mac since 1986, so I know more tricks). The only thing I can do to start to use my Mac is again holding down the button of physical power for five seconds and make a hard stop.

    Background:

    It is a problem that sometimes in the past. However, it is not reproducible and usually one of the steps above might work, such that unplug the monitor (a Dell 4 K 27 ") of the power supply and then plugging.

    I use physically connected (USB) keyboard and mouse.

    Current state:

    After the 10.11.2 system update last night, my Mac Pro shows this problem every time he sleeps.

    He has already hit a critical delivery photography and currently affects a submission of work for the city.

    This is urgent.

    Other users have reported the same problem after 10.11.2. I've not seen a solution

  • My hard drive will not close in mode 'sleep'

    My hard drive runs continuously when my iMac 2011 model is put into mode 'sleep' or expires in mode 'sleep'. I guess that's the drive I can hear something quietly spinning inside.and computer is a little warm. It started only in recent weeks. Before that, the computer has been completely silent and gave off no heat. the operating system is El Capitan.

    Hello, Blue Roses,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you have a problem with the hard drive of your iMac running when your computer goes into mode 'sleep'. I know how it is important to make sure you slowed down your drive hard when you have to. I'll be more than happy to help you with this.

    You can activate the option "Put hard drives to sleep when possible" in preferences energy saver of your iMac by following this path: Apple menu > System Preferences > energy saver > put a check mark next to hard drives was able to sleep when possible. Once you have enabled this, test and see if you get the same result with the rotation of the hard drive.

    The following article contains more information on energy-saving preferences:

    Preferences of OS X El Capitan: energy saving

    If you still have a question after that, try to start your computer in safe mode and create a new user to see if you get the same result in both. This can help to identify the problem of the current user and the whole system. The following articles will help:

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Hi jagarner,

    1. what happens when you restart the laptop?

    2. are you able to see the computer manufacturer's logo when you try to restart the laptop?

    I suggest that you do power off the laptop and check.

    (a) turn off the laptop and then remove the battery.

    (b) do not connect the main power, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge static electricity.

    (c) then reconnect the battery and start the laptop
