Windows7Sleeps&CannotWakeup

[VRishard]

As i stated. On May 5th I updated win7. That day or the next it went to sleep for no reason and wouldn't wake up. i noticed the power light on my usb mouse was off. Then we played on it for a few days and it happened again. the computer would stay on for a seemingly random amount of time before going into sleep mode. I tried reseating the RAM, Graphics card, change monitors, change DVI chord, reset the cmos battery, reformatted twice! The 1st reformat I know i dont think all updates installed, especially SP1 and it worked for about 24 hours before doing it. So i reformatted again and installed all the updates up to what I needed for SP1 and installed SP1. I have a HP 2009m monitor. The computer worked fine except like 2 flickers of the monitor the first day. Then a couple days after I was playing and it did it again. The computer went ot sleep on me and i couldnt wake it up. My computer works in safe mode as far as i can tell.
I looked online and found this thing about delting hibernation so i did that in CMD with te powercfg -h off command. I'm not in front of it now but CMD basically told me VgaSaver was preventing hibernation being turned off.
I recently found this information whe naccessing the maintenance torublseshooter in win7.

Hi VRishard and welcome

We need the minidump files described in your post and any other *.DMP files as well.
Please use these to find and upload them




To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.



To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

ok here are my 2 dump files. there is no windows/minidump folder for me. I couldnt even find them with regular search,I had to manually go through folders. hope these help. Id hate to have to get a new graphics card. last night I DID update my Nivdia drivers b/c all i was using was the ones I got from win7 updates and AFTER i played games for 3 hours it went to sleep on me.

Your video failed to respond fast enough. could be the driver, card, heat, power, or something else. I would start by re-installing the video driver using these instructions

When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Or Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.

That solution did not work. I uninstalled Nvidia drivers, with driver sweeper I cleaned afterwards, then reinstalled Nvidia drivers. Only thing I can think of now is to replace the card.

So you had another BSOD? If so please upload the DMP.

How do i find the minidump files b/c I cant seem to find a new one. I'm just going to RMA the card its still under warranty.
