Sleep Problem on Laptop

Just a quick video demonstrating the problem I've got when entering sleep mode. It doesn't always occur but occasionally when it does occur, it gets annoying and I get frustrated ! : P

What happens is, when I press the sleep button in Win 7, my laptop will seem to be entering sleep mode, the screen will fade to black and then nothing happens, the power lights stay on but the system won't enter sleep mode. The only way to get out of it, is to hard reboot by holding the power button down for a few seconds.

My specs are :

My system specs :

eMachines E625 Laptop Computer
Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
AMD Athlon Processor TF-20 1600 MHz
4GB of DDR2 RAM
ATI Radeon X1200

It seems to occur regardless of whether it's on battery on plugged in. Perhaps it's a video card driver issue ? I dunno ?



However any help would be greatly appreciated.

IF you need any more info let me know.

Thanks

is the laptop... it happens to me occasionally ... so ... try to check the sleep mode settings in the control pannel

[zabitken]

@MasterBlack18 I've checked in the settings, I've got Hibernate disabled and I've got automatic sleep disabled. This seems to occur when I manually want to enter sleep mode.

I wonder If there's a log where you check ? something like event viewer for sleep ?

[voiceofreason2008]

i had this issue with my toshiba laptop which ran windows vista i now have an acer laptop running windows 7 aswell which doesnt have this issue but anyways

its almost always a driver issue or an issue with the operating system

try updating or reinstalling drivers for video, audio and BIOS also follow any advice e-machines gives you

also see if windows 7 service pack helps

hope you get it sorted its frustrating i know
