Delay resuming from sleep

[Mitch656]

Well when you put you PC to sleep, its meant to instant resume, right?
Well not for me. I had problems with my PC freezing from sleep, however i think its fix (Not quite sure) Anyway back to my issue..

So i press the power Button to wake my PC up, and Loads my Gigabyte screen and some other stuff as if i was turning the PC on. Then it goes to the "Resuming Windows" screen for about 5sec. Then it takes me to a blank screen, were it has a while flashing line (sorta like command promt) Then my Monitor goes into No singal for about 30sec. Then it takes me to a blank screen once again with my mouse showing


Doesn't sound like instant resume to me


Forgot to mentition that sometimes i go to wake it up, PC turns on but nothing is on the screen. So i have to Press and Hold the power button until its Sleeping again and the wake it up again.



When i had the freezing Problem, i would sometime get instead resume but it would freeze

Try these solutions from MS. Not identical to your problem, but some of the solutions may help you, too.


System hangs up after waking up from sleep mode

Hello Mitch,

How does it work when you press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake up the computer from sleep mode instead? Pressing the power button to wake up the computer is only for when you use hibernate instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

 

[Mitch656]

it did help, but sometimes when the computer is put to sleep for about an hour it still does the long start up

Oh well


Thanks for fixing it a bit

 

[Brink]

Ok Mitch. See if disabling hibernate completely may be able to help stop that delay for you.

 

[Mitch656]

Hibernate isent set to be active.

I contacted Microsoft Via email so wait and see

thanks anyway.

Now sometime i wake PC up and there is nothing to be displayed on screen, i have to hold down power button.

But meh

Mitch -

as Brink said earlier: the power button is not used to wake from sleep at all, only to resume from hibernate.

It will either put the computer back to sleep or shut it down, depending on how it is set to behave.

You only want to hit return key to wake from sleep. Check your monitor's settings if it is slow waking from sleep.

I think it back again, but it doesnt really matter

Today i put PC to sleep for 5mins woke up with keyboard, show desktop. Then it look like it had a blue screen error, but it wasn't.

Restart, went back to resuming windows and you know the rest xD

but dont really care, as long at freezing is fix (which it is) im happy

It Strikes When i put my PC to sleep!

Like all my other thread i have said this!


I put my PC to sleep, then wake it up! i don't get instant resume. I get like an extra long boot up. From my Gigabyte screen, to resuming windows,to a blank screen with a white flashing like to, my monitor losing display!


Then the other problem is that when my PC goes to sleep, and i wake it up, it really STRIKES!

IT FREEZES!!!


Please help me

i have updated my drivers, and my BIOS, email Microsoft and when i say it doesn't work with there step they send me the same step over and over again!

Mitch hasn't the problem been fixed several times by the help you've gotten here, but something causes the problems to come back, right?

If you are getting a screen which says "Resuming Windows" then you are using hibernate instead of sleep.

Go into Power Options>Change Plan Settings>Advanced Settings and under Sleep, make sure Hibernate is turned off.

Now click Sleep in Start Menu next to Shutdown button, then wake it up correctly by using Return key (not Power Button) and see what happens.

Next try going back to Advanced Power Options box and Disabling Hybrid sleep; test it again.

Finally, go back to Advanced power options and Set sleep to Never, set Hibernate instead of sleep to whatever time you want. Try it first without Hybrid sleep, then next with Hybrid enabled.

Report back on each of these tests.

 

[Mitch656]

the plan is at defult, which mean hibernate is turned off.

I put the computer to sleep for like 5mins and press a key on the keyboard and i get the full boot up then resuming windows.

do test later, 1st i need breakfast at 10.53am haha late much

 

[Mitch656]

hybird sleep, give me instant resume, but will freeze

Hibernate wont freeze

but if hybird sleep starts the same way as hibernate then i shall leave it like that

the hibernate button is ugly xD

 

[gregrocker]

Many who cannot get sleep to work use hibernate instead.

You just have to use the Power Button to turn it back on, which you seem to like to do anyway

So turn sleep off, try Hibernate with and without Hybrid Sleep which I don't think works anyway when sleep is turned off. I'd just turn Hybrid off myself.

You good now, pupster?

 

[Mitch656]

i dont know, sleep always tends to to start up the hibernation way, so i could just leave.


However hibernation starts up a tad faster xD

 

[Mitch656]

So i have sorta figured out, that i will freeze if hybrid sleep inset on.

And that hibernation is faster than sleep when waking up.

but i will leave it as sleep


when i mean hibernation is faster, it coz i dont have to the blank screen with the flashy line as long and screen doesn't go blank as long

 

[Mitch656]

How ever i cant let it fall asleep by itself or it freeze! coz it does instant resume!

i know i can turn that feature off so it never falls asleep but i dont want to

 

[gregrocker]

I thought you were going to turn off Sleep and use Hibernate? Doesn't that work best to avoid the freezing?
