Sony :: Hibernation Wake-up Takes FOREVER. W7 64-bit, Vaio Z
Nov 15, 2009
i installed W7 64-bit on my Z590 last month, and everything has gotten to perfect working order. The only snag I've run into is that waking the computer from hibernation takes an annoying long amount of time. On the scale of minutes, whereas a fresh boot-up from shut-down will take less than a minute, and wake-from-hibernation on my XP install before did the same. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?
Ignoring the whole debate on why-do-you-hibernate (I run several programs, especially photoshop and MATLAB, that I do not wish to close and lose temporary history data), is there any kind of remedy for this? It's annoyed me to the point that I just put the computer on sleep instead when necessary, which drains the battery. I've been hibernating my laptops for 7 years and I really hope not to have to change my habits. I know another friend with the same setup has this issue as well.

I bought my Sony SZ series a while back on my trip to Japan. But whenever I try to do a driver update or upgrade it takes forever (24-36hours) and would often disconnect because it connects to the 'Asia Support Site'

My 3-month old Sony Vaio SR laptop is taking an age to open up photos - and I think it was since I installed IE8.
Since the window boxes within Windows Vista are run using IE technology, I am thinking it is to blame?
So when I open a photo in a photo album, it takes about 8 seconds to open. The photo sizes are only around 1mb each. Once the first photo is opened, I can browse to the next photo quite quickly. But if I close the picture window down and open another, it takes another 8 seconds to load up the photo.

When trying to put e6400 on XP SP3 to standby, the screen goes black but I am not certain the laptop is asleep. USB device lights are still lit. When trying to wake the laptop, it will not wake up and if the screen simply went dark, it will not come on. I always have to push the power button and force a reboot.

I have a late 2011 model XPS 15 that no longer wakes up from sleep or hibernation mode, at least only the screen doesn't. Â The computer will start up but the screen stays black, not even the backlight will come on. Â I can hear it working but nothing happens. Â

I've installed Windows 7 RTM x64 on my SR19 three weeks ago. Everything is working fine except one thing, which I'm trying to fight all the time and nothing helps.
When my laptop reaches it's critical battery level it hibernates. But when I plug it in and turn it back on, Windows says "Resuming from hibernation" and loads until welcome screen, than it immediately says "Shutting down", and shuts down the computer. I have to press power button again and it successfully boots, but all of my work is lost..
As far as I understood, Windows should work normally after resuming from hibernation, even if it was hibernated due to critical power level. So what's the problem?
If I put my laptop into hibernation myself, it resumes absolutely normally and everything is working fine.
I've tried disabling "Automatically enter hibernation when..." in VAIO Control Center, and left "Critical battery level action -> Hibernate" on, this changes nothing. I've tried even uninstalling VAIO Power Management. Doesn't help.

This problem has bothered me since I have installed the windows7 rtm.
i am using integrated graphi card, everytime when the machine wakes up from sleep, and if the external power is unpluged, the screen starts to flicker, and windows 7 reports "displayer driver stopped working and have been recovered", looks like a driver problem, but i have downloaded from the driver from sony website and intel website, none of them solves this problem.

I delayed my purchase for 1 day and RGBLED is gone on the UK site for the XPS 16. same as the US as well!
Is this a shortage problem ?
They pulled Blu-Ray as well from the uK site a while ago.
Regarding WLED screens are they covered in hard plastic as well?

I downloaded and ran a bios update for a 6000 (old laptop that i am reformatting).
It has been shutting down for over 4 hours now. No idea what to do. Should I manually turn it off and try the bios update again or will that screw things up at this point?......................

On restarting 15R 5520, laptop just beeps forever (bout once a second). First time it happened it was after laptop had been running for about 3 hours. I tried removing battery etc. Eventually it started up.  a few weeks later when I rebooted/cycled power, again nothing but beeps ... Today same thing, laptop was not hot, it had only been on a few minutes, and I decided to reboot .... beep beep beep .....  again after many different tries it powerd up .

No matter how many times i restart the labtop, it will first go black screen with dell log, then "resuming windows", then goes to the "logging off.." screen and stays there FOREVER. I tried to use both battery or AC power but they are just the same. I can adjust the lightness of screen using my keyboard but I cant see my mouse pointer anywhere on the screen so i cant click on anything.

Trying to get rid of these questionably useful programs -- but I don't see entries for them in add/remove programs in the control panel (or for any of the other useless VAIO software packages that come on OEM machines sans "fresh start")

I own HP HDX X16-1005EA Premium Notebook PC.
The problem is as follows:
Example: when hibernate the laptop. Then switch it back on with mains button and do not touch any key of button.
Within 2 minutes the laptop automaticaly hiberante !
This happens on both ( mains power supply and battery as well )
if I will touch any button or key during this 2 minutes period the lapptop would not hibernate untill it reaches the set time ( see bellow )
troubleshooting : I checked the time when the omputer is set to hibernate in advanced power settings and it is as follows:
hibernate after:
120 minutes on battery
1080 minutes plugged in
sleep after:
10 minutes on battery
25 munutes plugged in
I am curently using HP Recommeded power plan and if I switch to other plans ( Power Saver or High Performance ) it does not make any difference.
I also tried to set the hibernationand sleep to never but again no difference.
I also tried to use the recovery DVD to reinstal the operating system ( just in case this is caused by some virus ? ) but it does not make any difference !
The problem is still there altough the OS was re - installed so it can not be used by additional software, virus or so.
I am running latest BIOS version F31.A and regulary using HP update service to update all drivers etc. setting changes : No nothing was added or changed.

I bought a brand new dell xps 12 about two months ago and the past month when I go to turn on my computer it takes multiple switches of the power button to turn on the computer. At first, I would flip the power switch and it would show the dell logo on the screen sound like it was powering up and then stop. I would hit the switch again and it would power up as normal. Now it's taking at least five times before it boots up normally. Is there something wrong with my hardware and is this a normal problem with the dell xps 12's?

I have a Gateway EC1803h which as far as I can tell is identical to the Acer 1410 except for the design of the case, so I'd like to ask this to the Acer users since there are many more with the 1410 than the Gateway.
I'm running Windows Vista. I've disabled the ACPI Lid driver by changing the driver to "Volume Manager" as suggested by various internet sources for fixing the problem where closing the lid, even with the close lid action set to "do nothing" can cause the lcd to not turn on again when opening the lid.
So the problem is with hibernation. If I hibernate the machine, then resume again within let's say a minute or so, it comes back up fine. If I hibernate, then wait a longer amount of time, say 10 minutes, I can see the BIOS boot, the "Resuming Windows" splash screen, but then when I'd expect to see the login screen, instead the laptop screen turns off, and I see nothing. Oddly enough, at this point, if I plug in an external monitor, I can see the login screen there, so the OS is running properly. I can even log in. But at this point, I cannot Fn+F5 to enable the laptop screen. It's like the laptop screen has been disconnected/disabled/removed, whatever you want to call it.
Another weird symptom is that at this point, I can usually see a "System" process that ends up taking up 100% of the CPU processing, all of the time (not just spikes), so the task manager basically stays at 100%.
This feels like a software/driver issue to me, but I've been unable to find any other Acer 1410 or Gateway EC1803h users who've experienced this. I've tried the video drivers on the Gateway site, Acer site, as well as drivers from the Intel site. Same behaviour. I'm contemplating exchanging it for another unit, but only if there's a chance this is indeed a hardware malfunction.

Apparently Mac OS X has three hibernation modes (as outlined below from an official Apple document): a. Always save the RAM content to HD and hibernate (this is the default), b. Dont save RAM content to HD (I think this is the "regular sleep" and risks losing data if power is interrupted), and c. Save RAM content to HD and hibernate when the battery power is at a critical level.
I am planning to change the default scenario (point (a) above) to the (c) to avoid writing RAM content to HD every time the lid is closed. Has anyone changed the hibernation modes before? If so, has there been any problems with battery life, data loss, etc etc?

I've just purchased an XPS 15Z (highest category with the 256 SSD) and face a few  issues
1- the computer often does not come out of hibernation, the system cannot be restored after it goes in hibernation mode.
on several occasion I have put my laptop in hibernation mode and when I turn it back on it prompts me with a black screen and an error message giving me 2 options (1 - either try to restore files or 2- exit safe mode and cancel restore) if I chose the first option of trying to restore the files it gives me another error message which says:
"windows boot manager, your computer can't come out of hibernation - status 0xc0000411
info: a fatal error occurred processing the restoration data
file: hiberfil.sys
Any info that was not saved before the computer went into hibernation will be lost"
Therefore when I turn my computer back on, all windows and programs I had previously opened are closed and not saved
I have had to deal with this issue for over 10 times since I've had my computer (less than 5 days)...
2- Â overall memory problem, with approx 50 Gb missing (might be linked to my first issue)...
I haven't installed anything on my laptop except for some photos that I transferred from my old computer (accounting for 40 Gb of memory) however I have 99 Gb of used space on my SSD.... this is weird since every time I switched on my laptop there's less and less space available even though I haven't installed anything new...
I've had the computer for less than a week but both these issues keep happening...Â

The e4200 has 1 powered usb port and an esata/usb combo port only right? Also I heard it takes a second battery and has display port out?
Dell's site didn't explain that well and I'd like to know from someone who has one.

I have a DV7-1023 that is less than a month old. I finally got around to burning some dvd movies from files I copied to the local hard drive. The total process time to burn a movie from start to finish takes 23 minutes at 8x speed.
On my old laptop the process time from start to finish took about 15 minutes at 6x speed.
The machine has the vista 64bit version that came with laptop. I am using Nero version 7.
Is there anything I can do to speed up my burn time?
There are no other apps running, and I tried burning right after rebooting.

Just to clarify the subject, the right click that takes a long time to show up is when it's done on the desktop or when you right-click in a windows explorer folder, blank area witnothing selected (like to create a new folder or something). When you right-click, it shows the blue circular thing to sow it's tinking about it, it's loading and takes about 8 seconds to pop up after the click. Right-clicking on selected files, folders or in any other software, pops up instantly without issue.

My Aspire E1-572 suffers somewhat of the dreaded black screen of death. The computer needs about an hour to start, but when windows finally is loaded, it works like a charm.The "F2 for bios screen" takes about an hour to load.I have done a Acer factory reset.Tested the WD-hard disk - No faults, I've run memtest86 - No errors. I've tried to update the bios from Acer's download section, but all I get is error. Like I said, the computer works like a charm, only it takes about an hour for start up.

I can’t enable hibernation on my laptop. I’ve reinstalled system recently and installed all (at least I hope) drivers.
If I try to enable it in dell quickset feature (tick off the option), after pressing those next, next buttons and returning back to quickset, it’s not enabled again.
If I try it in windows power options, I keep getting message “the file cannot be access because it’s being used by another process”

The operating system went into hibernation when the battery died and would not come out when plugged in again(blank screen after acer splash screen, but i am able to load bios) when booting to the vista cd, all i get is a black screen. i tried a win xp disc and was able to boot to this. I put the hard drive in my desktop computer and when i tried to boot to it i got the error message that the computer was in hibernation and unable to come out of this mode. I then formatted the partition and was still unable to boot to the vista cd so i installed xp, however... after the splash screen and the windows loading screen, i again get a black screen. i've tried removing the battery and unplugging it for a while but nothing seems to work.

Up until recently everything has been ok. I have my 5920G set to screensaver after 5 mins then monitor after 1hr and hibernation after 2hrs. In hibernation the blue standby light around the standby switch would flash orange and the battery light would flash orange too. But for some reason it wont go into hibernation and do this anymore, it just sits there blue with the monitor in standby i.e. black screen,
