When I sleep Windows 7 it just wakes up?

[steelbom]

Some reason whenever I sleep Windows 7, it wakes up within 15 seconds.
Anyone know why?? that's kind of weird.

Perhaps this is an issue that is common, I have the RC build 7100

Kind Regards

Hello Steelbom,

In addition to Antman's post, a usual cause is the "Allow to wake computer' option set in the network adapters "Power Management" property settings in Device Manager.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

@Antman, thanks

BEFORE STARTING:1. Make sure you have the latest device drivers and BIOS installed for your motherboard.
NOTE: A out-of-date video driver or other drivers are sometimes the source of sleep mode problems. It is best to keep these up to date to resolve issues found with them.

Uh oh, I don't got a bios!

@Brink, thanks, I think that might be it, I queried to see what devices can wake the computer, only the keyboard, mouse, and two ethernet devices (only one is plugged in).

Changing those settings only change stuff on the OS right? not on the hardware, so changing this setting in Windows 7, won't effect Snow Leopard? I don't think it will.

Kind Regards

Steelbom,

No, it will only not allow your network adapter to wake the computer up. That's all.

I have experienced this issue and am beginning to figure my pc issue's out. At first I had the issues that Antman pointed out and solved them (I thought) by changing my settings per the article but over time I noticed that there is an additional issue that seems to occur when I was web surfing just prior to putting the pc to sleep. With testing I have found that the browser takes a short time to finish shutting down and that if I wait a minute or so after closing my browser down then my pc does not wake back up, however, if I put the PC to sleep immediately after closing the browser I invariable have to put it back to sleep. I am also running the 7100 RC version.

No issue's so far.

That's great news Bob.

Steelbom, has it been sorted for you as well?

Had another incident today and again it was immediately after closing the browser. Still think it is just a matter of waiting for the exe to finish its cleanup upon shutdown. System continues to be stable.

Won't have time to see about this for the next week or so as I''m off to Denver, Co USA for the Win7 roll out event next thursday. I also have family there so can you say vacation. The only PC I will have access here with will be my old Dell dimension C600 PIII@1GHz & 512 ram running Win7. Always fun to play with the old and the new combined....so far no issues with Hibernate (sleep not an option) but it works just fine. Man its good to be going home for a visit. Motorcycle rides on the Peak to Peak highway can't be beat and the train cars coffee house in Nederland is a great place to stop for a quiet cup of earl gray.
Life is good.

Interesting Bob. I'll do some testing this weekend to see if I can get my computer to wakeup when trying to sleep and hibernate right after closing IE8.

 

[steelbom]

Hi, I've not been on the computer that often, and on Windows 7 even less,
So unfortunately I've not tried anything yet. I'll let you know when I do though.

Kind Regards

Thanks Shawn,
I actually use Firefox most of the time, not sure about IE8. I will be monitoring your posts related to this issue.

Bob,

I could not reproduce what you are experiencing. My computer went to sleep and hibernation without issue right after I closed IE8 and put it to sleep and hibernate. Did not wake up once.

Thanks for trying with this issue. One additional piece of info is: I use a wireless mouse and keyboard (Microsoft) through an IOgear KVM to connect to the machines.

 

[Brink]

Bob, are you using the latest 7.0 drivers for your MS mouse and keyboard?

Does the problem continue if you do not use the IOgear KVM?

That's a good question. Drivers...I think so but can't check until next Monday when I get home. Without KVM ...I will try without it when I get home.

Problem solved...Was running Nvidia driver 190.38. Updated to driver 191.07 and the problem no longer occurs (1 week no re-occurrence).

That's great news Bob. Thank you for posting back with your results and solution.
