SLEEP PROBLEM

[Troy McClure]

second time im posting this... first one simply never showed up. maybe
someone should look into this? seems like a lot of people complaining about
posts never making it to the server.



64bit Ultimate, nVidia 8800GTS with a pathetic 100.59 beta driver (thanks
for the promised "final" driver that was supposed to be ready when Vista
went retail)

anyhoo... the computer goes to sleep, but when the mouse is moved and the
computer wakes up, the monitor never comes back on and no video is
displayed. powering the monitor on and off does nothing, the monitor stays
in the sleep state. I eventually have to do a hard reset to reboot the
computer.

is this Vista, or could it be the video driver?

Same problem here, with 32bit Ultimate, Radeon x1600 graphics card with
512MB memory. System is a HP m1090n, 3.6GHz, 3GB main memory. Never had this
issue under XP.

I'm on Vista Enterprise and I am having the same problems. I know the HDD is
up and running, for instance; if my iTunes was running earlier I can hit the
"play" button on the laptop and it will play. Telling me that the screen is
the only partition that is off.

My notebook also does the same thing when I close the lid. I have changed
all the settings to "do nothing" when the lid closes but it still seems to
'freeze' the screen if u will. I am on HP Pavilion dv6000. Any thoughts?

I have a temporary solution.

I have a dv6000 hp laptop and the same problem as you guys.

I found a way to do this, it's not definitive but can help you:

I changed the energy setting to make my power button work as "sleep button".

When I press him, the laptop goes very fast to sleep mode and i can close
the lid. When I open the lid, simple touch the mouse and the computer comes
back.

I dont know if this will help you, but worked for me.

See ya!

I have the same problem. I running Vista Home Basic on a MSI K9N4 SLI
motherboard, 1 GB RAM, NVidia 7600 GT. The mouse and keyboard seem to wake
up from sleep, but the video card does not.
