G75VX doesnt wake up from sleep

[RocketD0G]

Hi,

Not a game-breaking problem but still so annoying. When i close the lid or FN+F1 or just click the power button once, the G75 goes to sleep. No problem.

When i open the lid. the powerbutton and a few leds light up for a second. Then it's all OFF. It doesnt wake up, even if you press something on the keyboard. However if you press the power key it starts up normally full boot.
Like a full restart.

If I make the computer to sleep while lid open (FN + F1) it does like this:

1. Screen blacks out. Fans rev up abit then all the system leds stop glowing.
2. Everything execpt a led is now black, even the power button isn't glowing. But a led with a lightbulb is now flashing.
3. I go ahead and PRESS ALL THE BUTTONS. nothing happens.
4. If i press the power button again. The leds light upp for a split second. Then its blacked out again, and now the lightbulb led isn't flashing anymore.
5. If i press the powerbutton now. It'll boot up like a normal start.

I've tried removing InstantON, Power4Gear Hybrid and then trying. Still does the same. So i installed them again.
Tried updating the drivers for GFX Nvidia. Still nothing. I've got no idea however whats causing this.
It seems to be like its owner and has a hard time to wake up.

Any Ideas?

The sleep process is correct. Check the power settings on things like Hybrid sleep and such in Windows. Make sure that Hybrid sleep is disabled. This is really strange. :confused:

Yep, Hybrid sleep is off everywhere where I can figure they'd put a On/Off button for that.

i cant think of anything that would lead to your problem, but maybe it would help you out if you pressed fn+f7, that would just turn off the screen, buts its better than nothing right?

Yeah. It's a nice idea. But it doesn't help me when I close the lid, pack the computer into the bag and head off for work or home. Then I'll be stuck with the same problem again.

I made a video of what it's doing. Check it out.

If your running an SSD as your main drive, there has been reports of problems waking up from sleep/hybrid sleep mode. Problems like a hang or force a restart (cold boot) when woken up again, like it did in your video.

Well there's no SSD-drive in this one. Only 750 GB hybrid drive that has a 8 GB SSD- Cache.

Then it's probably a software hang or driver issue related in Windows 8 and your system.

My guess it could be something like a USB driver to the ATK-package/KB driver to connected devices to changes under "require a password on wakeup" to fast boot conflicts.

It sounds like (looks like?) the video driver is not initializing on the Resume from Sleep. Great video of the problem BTW...

1) What version NVIDIA driver are you currently running? Have you tried the latest from the NVIDIA website? I recommend performing a 'clean' NVIDIA install from Windows Safe Mode to ensure your current video driver is completely UNinstalled.

2) Is this behavior similar on Resume from Hibernation?

3) http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproperf/thread/1d478f44-2a24-4cca-9cff-40d639b7... discusses how to troubleshoot a "Resume from Sleep failure" in Windows 7 that you could probably apply to Windows 8.

4) I also like @Clint's suggestion. There have been a lot of strange BIOS issues reported lately. What BIOS version are you currently running?

5) There have also been a couple of threads where it seemed like corruption of the Power Management Profiles had occurred. One user resolved the problem by resetting the power profile to default values, then re configuring. Another just UNinstalled Power4Gear and used Windows power profiles.
