Crashes Entering Sleep
I have been having this problem for a while -- before I got the SSD (had a WD Velociraptor before) -- essentially, the system goes into sleep, whether I tell it to, or it does automatically, and never turns off. The screen goes black, and there is no HD activity, but the fans/lights/etc stay on.
Sometimes, however, the computer does go into sleep (and recover from it) successfully, but I haven't been able to figure out why it works when it does. It always seems to work after a clean install, but again, there's no reason I can discern for why it starts to malfunction.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
In the event there's a BSOD I can't see because the screen turns off, I attached the dump/perfmon files.
Is Windows 7 . . .
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64
- the original installed OS on the system? it's a home-built PC, so no
- an OEM or full retail version? from MSDN-AA
- What is the age of system (hardware)? a bit over two years
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) less than a month
