Laptop takes a long time to sleep
When I place my laptop into sleep (either from the button or closing the lid), the screen goes dark and then it basically locks up.
If it's on battery the battery will last a short time (as if it was on) and then it dies. Typically, if it's on AC, I end up having to hold down the power button to kill it and then reboot.
HOWEVER. The other day it was on AC and I realized that it's just taking a VERY LONG time to get to sleep, several hours.
The OS reports that my webcam driver may be causing it to sleep slowly, but killing that driver seems to have no affect.
This is an older Dell 1720, which shipped with Vista, and technically doesn't support W7. But everything was working fine until a few weeks ago. Also, I am now using an SSD HD (so hibernate mode is disabled).
I tried killing non-essential services (and then more) and it still has the issue.
Any idea how to debug this? Is there a way to log what might be holding it up?
