Hibernation/Sleep Conflicting with Drivers

Guest

Hello everyone!

I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my HP Pavillion
dv5215us laptop.

The issue I am having is when the computer goes into hibernation or sleep
mode for more than about 2 minutes, when the computer wakes, three items show
up with yellow exclamation points in the device manager and they fail to
function at all. These include my Broadcom wireless adapter, Realtek NIC,
and the Texas Instruments Media Card Reader, which show up as Ethernet
Controller, Wireless Adapter, and Mass Storage Controller in the device
manager respectivley.

Upon reboot, my BIOS greets me with:

Everytime I re-install the drivers (which is a pain in itself) and the
devices function correctly, they get screwed up again when the computer
sleeps or hibernates.

Anyone else have this problem, or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Instead of reinstalling drivers, reboot the computer and see if that works.
I'm finding lots of problems with Sleep. There really isn't Hibernation on my
desktop Dimension 8400, which I used all the time before Vista. Sleep
regularly loses my ethernet card and needs a Repair to bring it back. Service
pack 1 might fix this--at I hope it does. Your problem seems unique to
laptops and I think you should research this further. Make sure you are using
the correct wake up procedure. It's totally different on my computer now.
Check with HP for yours.
PS Look up Sleep in Help for more Vista info.

Hmmm...well that didn't work. I still get an error. Also I notice this
problem extends to shut down. When I shut down the computer and turn it back
on after about 5 min, the drivers have the same problems!

Gah, this is making me angry...Vista is running completely fine on my desktop!

Not to hijack the thread but this is to Mary and is somewhat related.

I have a Dimension 8200 and have the problem with sleep mode deactivating my
sound card driver after every wake, no sound at all. Reboot and it's back to
normal until the PC goes into Sleep mode and wakes up again that is.

The funny thing is the driver for the sound card (Sound Blaster Live) was
downloaded and installed through MSFT Windows Update and works great. Also,
this same issue I had with Beta 2, RC 1 and 2 and now final. I've bugged it
to death from day one which is why I hold out very little hope that it'll get
fixed by SP1.

What's interesting is that Hibernation mode works great and for some reason
does not interfere with the driver; I get sound every time I wake the PC out
of hibernate mode. So now I have disabled Sleep mode and using Hibernate all
the time and it's great.

Why isn't hibernate mode working for you?

Chech your Bios for any Dell settings related to S1 and S3 Suspend mode. On
my 8400, I got BSOD everytime it work from sleep. Most times several
services cashed etc. The S1 - S3 setting on my defaults to S3. I changed it
to S1 and all BSOD quit and no more service failers. The performance Monitor
went from a critical error several time a day....everyday to not a single
error in the last two weeks.

I also changed the Netowrk power setting to Lower Power Mode ON...default is
OFF. I do not think that made the difference...but I did do it at the same
time.

Interesting. I just changed it from S3 to S1 and tried Sleep mode and it came
back WITH sound! But (there's always a 'but' hey?) it seems Sleep mode in S1
is merely shutting off the hard-drive as all the fans (CPU, Power supply
etc..) are Still ON whereas Sleep mode in S3 seems completely silent in
comparison.

I'll need to research this further maybe on the Dell forums but it appears
that there is a large difference in power consumption between S1 and S3
Suspend modes.
