And It is a VERY big problem for all LCD monitor manufacturers. Just do some reading before you do anything else. HP w2207h monitor. Just moved to a new computer. I have had my HP w2207h monitor work flawlessly for over a year. I have learned that I am not the only person to have problems with a Viewsonic monitor and an HP.
I also have Vista sleep problems. Example: A) After pressing the?half moon?
Keyboard sleep button: a) The monitor screen blanked out, then came back on in five seconds; no power down. B) Tower power button stayed blue.
B) Pressing the sleep button a 2nd time blanked the screen and powered down the hard drive, but not the fans; tower power button turned amber C) Neither space bar nor mouse awakens system at that point D) To recover had to turn off the computer at the tower power button and restart. E) After getting the normal HP boot screen, got the black Windows Error Screen 'Windows did not shut down successfully' which counted down and segued to the log in screen. F) Same effect if invoking sleep from Start?Power?
This behavior is repeatable; the first invocation of Sleep causes the screen to go off and on, and things work normally. A 2nd sleep invocation freezes the system in a kind suspended animation. At times in my experimenting, I got the blue screen: 'Stop: 0x00008086', but that has not been repeatable.
Things I have tried to circumvent the problem: - unchecked 'Allow this device to wake the computer' for my Network Adapter Power Management (no help) -verified that my Nvidia graphics card has its latest driver It also appears that if the system is put to sleep by the power option, it will also not reawaken from the keyboard or mouse; requires total power shutdown and restart. Have looked around for other solutions as you did, and found numerous references to sleep and power option problems, but no good solutions yet. For the time being, I am leaving the system running. HP Pavilion d4890y desktop.Intel Core 2 Duo processor E6420 (2.13GHz).2GB DDR2-667MHz dual channel SDRAM (2x1024).250GB 7200 rpm SATA 3 GB/s hard drive.256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7500LE graphics card.HP w2207 22-inch Widescreen Flat-Panel Monitor.Power supply 350 watts.OEM Vista Home Premium.Norton Internet Security 2007.Standard wired keyboard and mouse.
Are you all certain that the problem is with Vista? I recently purchased an hpw2207 for connection to an existing system running XP.
Since connecting that monitor three weeks ago, I experienced continual difficulties with sleep mode, that were non-existent when using other monitors. The monitor intermittently goes into sleep mode when the system is first booted. Nothing short of disconnecting and reconnecting the DVI cable or rebooting the system works to reawaken the monitor.
HP has been less than helpful in finding the source of this problem. I have just bought a new computer HP Pavilion m8400f with the LCD Monitor HP w2207h in June of this year 2008. For the last 2 months I have made contact with HP pertaining to my monitor going into sleep mode and when moving the mouse to bring the monitor out of sleep mode I just get a blue/blk screen. The PC comes out of sleep mode with no problem using the mouse, but not the monitor. Also the keyboard is no better. Do not do a System Recovery since the problem will not go away. Monitor will work good (coming out of sleep mode) until you install a software program or updates from Microsoft/HP, take your pick and then try to find what software program, updates are causing the problem.
I have updates drivers, the BIOS, troubleshoot from HP and on the internet with being unable to correct this problem. When I hooked up this new monitor to another computer using Windows XP Pro had no problems with it coming out of sleep mode. So it can't be the Monitor, but a problem with Vista.
Also ran Hardware Diagnostic and everything passed. So if anyone out there finds a cure please advised. Retired and getting stressed out here trying to figure out the problem and a repair. And they state Retirement is a time for relaxation!!!
LOL HP does not give much help in this situation and have no idea what is causing the problem or how to repair it. Read (that's from yesterday) and you see the words ' It had trouble going to sleep and waking up.
It wouldn't work with some printers and accessories. Users launched a massive online petition begging Microsoft not to discontinue its old operating system, XP, which is stable, fast and, after six years of patches, pretty reliable. Many consumers like me, who'd bought new PCs loaded with Vista, reloaded them with XP. Microsoft seems to be getting the message. Working in collaboration with its PC-maker partners, it says it has ironed out the glitches.
It has embarked on a $300 million advertising blitz aimed at rehabbing Vista's reputation.' Now ask yourself how advertising will resolve your issue.
Sorry it doesn't. Your product has a defect and you should call it in until you get it fixed or a full refund. Sorry for being blunt. My Presario Notebook had the same problems as stated by several posts. Error's resuming from sleep, sleep mode not actually putting the computer to sleep.
Even Blue Screens of Death and dreaded memory dumps. Here's how I was able to make it work like it used to. This is for Vista Home Premium 32Bit. Right click the battery icon in the system tray. Go to power options.
You will see three types of power plans and you will need to change the setting for each plan manually. Start with which ever you like, and click on 'change plan settings' Then go to 'change advanced power settings' From here you should manually customize the settings you like, but mainly I want you to look at.Multimedia Settings. Make sure that all power plans have 'Allow the computer to sleep' option turned on under the 'when sharing media option'. No matter what I did to the computer, turning off services, uninstalling programs, rolling back drivers. You name it, that option has to be set that way or the system just goes crazy. Note, I caused the problem by changing the power plan the other day when trying to max battery life when I was no where near the power adapter.
Went in to power options and changed it to power saver, then had it restore to default. Keyword: Default.
Hope this helps anyone who is stuck like I was. This worked magnificently. Sleep works Again!!!
Just to clarify davmcn's post, here it is again with a little more detail. When using disk cleanup, if you cleaned the hibernation file because you never intend to use it, it disables sleep. Here's how you reverse it: IF YOU HAVE EVER RUN DISK CLEANUP DO THIS! Open start menu 2.
Type 'cmd' (without quotation marks ' ') in the white line (Start Search) area 3. Right click on the cmd.exe (at top of the list) 4. Click Run as administrator 5.
Type 'powercfg -h on' (without quotation marks ' ') and press Enter 6. Close command prompt when it's finished 7. Run the disk cleanup utility (start/all programs/accessories/system tools/ disk cleanup) then uncheck 'Hibernation' so it doesn't happen again. Voila, problem should solved! My computer is a notebook Aspire 5102 with windows vista.
I have the same problem. Sleep turned out to be a dead mode, fan's running with a black screen.
The only way to escape is to hold the power key. I tried many many ways to figure that out, I even rolled back by reinstall but after install several updates the problem came. I can't stand that a notebook can't sleep.
So I finally determine to turn off the hibernate by command prompt. Now sleep mode is definitely fine, but computer can never hibernate of course.
I don't know if it's the microsoft's problem. I hope they could fix it. My news HP Vista operating System would not go to sleep and stay a sleep. It would start up again after any where from 10 seconds to 5 minutes or more. It drove me nuts. I finally figured out the solutiohn after much reading. Go to: This site really helped.
My problem was my DSL modem was on all the time. Went to Start, right click computer, select properties, select device manager, network adapters, double click on your dsl or what ever it is called and open properties. Click the power management tab and remove tyhe selection from Allow this device to wake the computer. Hope this will help others since it really fixed my sleeping problem and had nothing to do with Vista.
