Hi all, back in here after a long time of no problems, now my computer is crashing when it goes into sleep mode - at least I think that's what's going on... I go away for awhile, the computer should go into sleep, I come back the computer screen is black and the machine is OFF. Push the on button on the box, the screen comes up that it wasn't shut down properly. This is only after the last windows auto update, anything related to that? I tried a rollback to before the update and then reinstalling the updates, but nothing changed.

Vista x64U



Thanks, --ch

Sorry, was off for a couple of days...

Did all of the above, even with all non-Microsoft services and all startup items disabled on startup, no joy, still crashes immediately on sleep. Beginning to think this is a hardware problem... --ch

Did that, don't really know what I'm looking for... The only problems I can find are under Application, 0 critical events, quite a few "Error" events but none of them seem to be really related... the only one that sounds kinda nasty is the following:

source WMI
Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

...whatever that means... --ch
