Sleep Mode Still Freeze up, Win 7 RTM

cool so it wasnt just my computer and somebody has experienced this issue and we came to the same conclusion..:)
it also seems like this is a definite solution until MS (or they might not even do anything, just issue a kb and be done with it...) says something about the issue

yep looks like history will repeat itself once again

D@mnit!

After a long nights sleep, I clicked on the mouse and BAM froze.

I still feel this is a USB issue as it occured with a mouse click. . . ideas?

Heh, thanks for the responses guys. Yeah this is pretty annoying. The reason I would like to use sleep (or even hibernate... they both screw up) is because it'll allow me to save on power usage.

Sure I could shut it down, but it's sorta lame to have to reopen everything I was using. It's just a really badass feature if I could just get it to work...

I am happy to know that I am not alone with this bug... same problem without any solution...

I fixed my sleep problem with 7... turns out it was my power supply. Each time I would put the computer to sleep, then try to wake it up, you would hear the fans power up but that's it. The only way to turn the computer off was holding in the power button or hitting the on/off switch in the back. Well, one of those times the computer went off then didn't come back on at all! I left the thing unplugged all night, then plugged it in once morning came. It turned on, but once I did a few things to see if sleep was resolved, it went back to not turning on at all. I had a power supply I wasn't using currently (600 watt), so I put it in. Powered up with no problems, and it now goes to sleep and wakes up with zero problems. I'm not sure that the power supply is everyone's issue, but it was mine! At the very least, this may give someone something else to consider. :)

hi guys

you just have to update your display driver from the manufacturer site
mine was intel and i downloaded the latest update and installed, and it all good now it doesn't freeze anymore or give me a blank screen, hope that helps
