Ok I opened the task manager and ended the sidebar process and then ran the laptop for about 20 mins without it, then shut the lid i left it shut for about 30 mins and then the lights on the front of it shut off. opened it up. and it wasnt on so i turned it on and it did the same thing as before. any more suggestions? :/
ok well i tried it twice, and that didn't help it. it still shut down. And just so you know i went to the task manager and disabled the sidebar, then waited about 20 mins and closed the screen (with it still disabled) then i waited for about hour with the screen closed and opened it back up an it had shut down. if it effects anything I also have the program coretemp, witch runs with the sidebar cpu program but it is a seperate program all together, I mite try disabling both coretemp and the sidebar and see what it does.
I just now seen your post and also saw that i posted that so sorry for the double post there.
The problem with coretemp is you can't just disable it, it has a system driver associated with it. To test that one you will have to completely remove.
This is really my last shot at this, I can't get a more specific trace than what I've already described.
We know this is a driver issue sadly I'm just not able to point it out.
Everything in you driver list is a proper windows 7 driver, power state issues are still a bit of a problem.
Have you considered just changing the power scheme to avoid hibernation?
So I tried changing what it does when it shuts down but it does the same thing no matter what you do. either sleep or hibernation. It just turns the screen black but the lights remain on. but nothing you press wakes it back up. But ya im still looking for a solution I'm updating everything and and installing windows updates. I also completely uninstalled coretemp and updated the CPU gadget i have on here, Im checking if that will help it. If it helps you, go to the windows live gallery and look up "All CPU Meter V3.6" that is what its called.
Ok So I am back, I never did anything to actually "fix" it but what i did was just reinstalled my CPU monitor and ran all the recent windows updates including all the language packs, witch was kinda pointless but I have restarted it about three times and have had no more problems. it sleeps/wakes as it should, So hopefully it continues to work. Thank you for your help.
