BSOD on sleep or hibernate
I have a persistent problem when sleeping or hibernating my machine.
On sleep or hibernating, the screen goes blank, hard discs is active for a while then it just stops but power remains on. I have to hold the power button to turn it off or if on batteries it will stay like that until it runs out of power.
On startup I get the message 'windows was not shut down properly...' with the choice of safe mode or normal startup.
Needless to say this is pretty annoying since I have to wait for system to start again and all my programs are lost.
I have trawled various forums in search of a fix but nothing has worked.
I resorted to wiping the partition and reinstalling windows but that hasnt helped so was a great waste of time. I resinstalled from the recovery cd that came with the notebook but the driver cd provided was for XP and not win 7 so I downloaded what I could from the samsung website but there are still a few things missing. however this doesnt appear to be the cause since the same problem persists as the factory install.
machine is samsung p560 notebook intel duo p8700 2.53ghz, 32 bit windows 7 pro sp1, 3GB ram
dump file is the same for each occurence.
please can anyone help ?
