| | New laptop not entering sleep properly I am having intermittent problems placing my laptop in sleep mode. I use the machine daily and typically can sleep/ resume several times a day before the machine locks with the fan spinning at full speed. Typically on closing the lid, there is a lot of HD activity until sound card is turned off (with a click) and the HD LED stops flickering as the machine goes into sleep. Sometimes, the disk stops (there is no sound) but the LED stays on, then within a few seconds the fan switches on and then revs up to full speed (a stalled service using CPU at 100%??). Other times, the HD activity stops and the machine just goes quiet before the fan starts.. I have waited for the fan to stop for 10-15mins but the only way to stop it is to switch off the machine and reboot. The laptop is only a few months old and is running VISTA business fully updated. There is nothing placed in the event log before the shutdown and afterwards there are just entries saying the machine didn’t shutdown properly but no reason is given. Is there anyway to log what happens as the machine goes into sleep? The machine as office 2003+firefox 2+Nero 8+ acrobat 8+skype 3.6+winzip 11 installed on it |

Are sleep issues reported in the "200-299 Shutdown" events? Is there no way to set up a high resolution monitor once the sleep process has initiated? (ie track each step to see what what completed?) |

| | Re: New laptop not entering sleep properly There very well may be sleep issue related logs in there somewhere, but I only know about a very few of the interesting logs and nothing about any specific sleep issue ones....sorry.
