BSOD :: Put Into Sleep Mode And Now PC Is In Power Loop
Sep 1, 2015
I installed windows 10 about a week ago and all was working fine until I decided to try sleep mode a couple of days ago. I activated sleep mode but noticed after powering off that my PC was turning back on for a few seconds before powering back off in a loop. I didn't think to much of it and powered it off at the wall thinking that would clear any sleep errors. Well I've come back to use it after a couple days and it's still is stuck in a power loop of starting for 3 or 4 seconds before powering back off again in a continuous loop!
No chance to go into the bios, no sign of windows, just an endless power cycle!
I upgraded to Win10 about a month agn Friday my pc was stuck in the Automatic Repair Loop. I tried alt+ctrl+del no result. I reboot and pressed F10 the monitor went to sleep mode. When I pressed the on button on the monitor, the Monitor Status reads as follows:
DVI: No signal VGA: No signal Auto Switch Source: on Default Source: DVI
At a point in time, a msg appeared saying "check video cable" so I used the VGA cable on two different ports no success. I bought a DVI-D cable and used it still the monitor is in sleep mode
In W10 when I leave my laptop in sleep mode overnight, it uses about 10% of battery life. In windows 7 it was way less, to the point that it wasn't even noticeable.
This only occurs after the PC goes to sleep and is woken back up again, no issues at any other time.
The PC was upgraded from win 7 home to 10 a week or 2 ago.
I have tried updating windows (had to do 2 updates manually, it wouldn't install them!), checked for any driver errors in device manager and system information but no luck
Ever since updating to Windows 10 I have periodically had a problem with my computer when I wake it from sleep. The symptoms of this are as follows:
The machine will wake from sleep fine and I'm able to put in my password etc. After 30s to a minute, the machine will give me a BSOD citing Driver_Power_State_Failure (occasionally it has been something else but this is the main culprit.) It then collects data cycling up to 100% but does not reboot automatically. I need to do this manually. When I do so, the machine will reboot normally.On a couple of occasions in the last month, the machine will simply not wake from sleep at all and neither does it respond when I press the power or reset buttons. The only way I can get it to start again is by manually turning off the power supply and then turning it on again. I am not sure if this is related to the BSOD issue or whether it is a separate issue.I have previously had an issue where the machine would appear to wake from sleep but the screen would remain dead and the keyboard was unresponsive (though the num lock light was showing.) I can't recall having this issue recently and am unsure whether this is a separate issue.It normally seems to occur after the machine has been asleep (hybrid sleep) for some time.Of late I've noticed that it often seems to coincide with me opening a new program or file immediately after waking the machine from sleep.
I have tried several things to fix the issue as follows:
I've tried to run Driver Verifier but have never managed to get the machine to start up successfully even with only one driver selected. (In fact I have to manually import the original registry settings to turn off Driver Verifier again in order to get my machine going again.)I have uninstalled and unplugged a USB video capture device but that has made no difference.I have completely uninstalled the drivers for my graphics card and then reinstalled using Microsoft's default drivers. No difference. I've made sure that I am running the latest drivers, have checked Windows update etc.
It's tricky to pin things down to a particular driver without using Driver Verifier and I'm not sure how to decipher the dump files and error logs generated each time this happens.
I have a problem with my Asus S56C, I have frequent BSODs, but they only occur after few seconds or few minutes out of the Stand By mode. It does not happen after restarting restarting or turning on the PC. I have already tested the RAM and Hard Drives. Updating to Win 8.1 and then 10 did not change the problem or the way it happens. Since it might be a driver problem, I have tried to play a little bit with Driver Verifier but the drivers are so many that I was not able to identify only one and then I stopped because it was really too time consuming. I updated all thedrivers manually from the Control Panel, but it did not change anything. For the rest the computer is fine, I sent it to the ASUS Service when was still under warranty and they replaced RAM, HD, DVD-ROM, but not the 24 Gb SSD. It also came back with a clean Windows 8 but it had the same problem after installing just Avast, Chrome and Mozilla (I have already uninstalled Avast and no improvements).
Every time I try to put put my laptop to sleep, hibernate, restart it or shutdown, it stalls for about 10 minutes before giving me a Driver Power State Failure.
Having installed "WhoCrashed" and "Windbg", I was able to determine it was related to "ntkrnlmp.exe", "ndis.sys", "raspppoe.sys" and a vpn driver at one point or another. I "believe" I managed to uninstall the offending vpn driver but of course still overall have the same issue.
This appeared to occur while trying to do a windows update last week but I can't be sure. I presume, there is a out of date or corrupt driver but just can't seem to determine which one.
I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 and had no problems for a while until I began using sleep mode. About every night or two when in sleep mode, my system shuts down. I'm not here when it does so I don't see a blue screen and appear to have no other problems. I used WhoCrashed and get this info every single time I check it.
crash dump file: C:WINDOWSMinidump100815-12343-01.dmp uptime: 14:28:45 This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0) Bugcheck code: 0x9F (0x3, 0xFFFFE001FD59D710, 0xFFFFD001F6446990, 0xFFFFE002062B69E0) Error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.his appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
I can build computers but I suck at figuring out problems like this. All the drivers are up to date and since this started, Nvidia has had 3 driver updates that I've tried that make no difference.
When I close the lid of my laptop, put it into sleep mode, or put it into hibernation mode, the laptop basically shuts down. The power light flashes on and off, but when I reopen the lid or press the power button to turn it back on, the screen flashes grey and reboots.
What I have tried: Changing all of the advanced power options Resetting my laptop (to before the issue started occurring) Restoring my laptop to factory settings Redownloading windows 10 Disabling the UEFI (BIOS) setting that allows the computer to be turned off to save power Updating the drivers that were suggested on the windows eight forums Downloading the chipset driver from Asus Downloading the ACHI Link Power Management and trying all the settings
What I've done in the command prompt:sfc /scannow then Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.I also tried the chkdsk command but there were no problems found
When I started noticing the problem:After I downloaded VMware's player and created a virtual computer with Ubunt
Ever since I upgraded to W10 Pro (from W8.1 Pro) my PC has started bluescreening when resuming from Sleep. MEMORY_MANAGEMENT is the most common one, and the only one that has occured so far after upgrade to Build 10586 (upgraded 2015-11-13).
BSODs KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (NTFS.sys), SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE occured before upgrade to Build 10586, and might happen again. Minidumps for these disappeared during upgrade to latest W10 build
BIOS is the latest one. Ran Memtest86+ yesterday, 8 passes with all 11 tests, no errors found. Windows Memory Diagnostics didn't find anything either.
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a) # Any other values for parameter 1 must be individually examined. Arguments: Arg1: 0000000000041201, The subtype of the bugcheck. Arg2: fffff6800001e090 Arg3: c7200001eda3c847 Arg4: ffffe000607d0930
I have recently completed a new home build with the following specs:
Processor: i7-6700k Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z170X Gaming GT Memory: Corsair Vengence LPX DDR4, 2666 GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury SSD: Intel 750 Series, 1.2 TB PSU: Corsair RM Series 750 Watt Case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 OS: Windows 10 Home
The build went fairly well and the computer seems rather stable (and very, very quiet). But the main problem I am having is that after the computer wakes up from sleep mode, it crashes a few seconds later and re-boots. The event log will be riddled with entries upon reboot, but one critical event in particular catches my attention:
Event ID: 41, Kernel-Power
There are also a number of Errors that show up; not sure if they are normal or not but I suspect errors should not typically occur. I've updated all of my device drives but that didn't really seem to solve the issue. I also tried changing the power settings and un-selecting "Fast Startup" as per a recommendation I read on a different forum but that had no effect. To prevent the system crash, I've simply been shutting down my computer after I am done using it which isn't a bad thing, but I'd like to have the option of using sleep mode.
Also, for what it's worth, I remember having a bitch of a time with sleep mode with RAID 0 on my old computer, so perhaps Windows does not yet adequately support "sleep mode" with PCI-E controllers.
I have a new Toshiba C55-C5241 Laptop, which came pre-loaded with Windows 10. (See Specs)
I clean installed Windows 10 last weekend. All went very well. I just started loading programs this weekend.
I started noticing the blue screen stops yesterday. These happen coming out of Sleep. I probably never would have noticed these before because I was not leaving the machine alone long enough for it to go into Sleep. So unfortunately I do not know when the behavior started - from the beginning or after some software installation.
Here are my reports: SCULLY-Sun_08_30_2015__64736_97.zip
Blue screens are mostly "Kernal Data Inpage Error" and the more serious "Critical Process Died", both I understand to be processor related.
I did not have the presence of mind to test or check any of this early on. But I do have images of the original factory installation and of the fresh, clean install (before any customization or software installs). I do not believe that I ever tried Sleep Mode on the original factory installation.
The stops happen very consistently when on battery power, less so when plugged in. For a while I thought they did not occur when plugged in - this was not the case. They seem to be more consistent when manually going into sleep, not so much when it goes into sleep from Power Settings.
All of the drivers in the clean install were the same as the drivers in the factory installation (at the time I finished). I did not turn off automatic driver update for a few days. I will check the driver list for changes later.
Software installed (in order) : Avast!, Firefox, Office 2010 (H&S), Nitro Reader, VLC (64 bit), Handy Address Book (a prog I've been using for years), Malwarebytes, CCleaner (never run), and Winamp. I am thinking of restoring the clean install image today (start over). Just to see if the behavior started then.
The upgrade to W10 has left me with a blue 'Welcome Back' screen and a 'Next' button. That's it! Clicking Next causes a reboot back to this screen. I cannot even open in safe mode and all boot options take me back to this screen.
Obviously I can't click on anything or type anything because the loop is constant. I've been reading forums etc for the past couple of days for a fix for this Automatic Repair loop..nothing that would work and I notice many others the past year also never found a solution.
I burned on a dvd a Windows 10 bootup thing- as suggested by someone. That doesn't stop the loop either- and yes, I did get to the page via F12 that allows to change it to boot from the DVD etc.
So I decided to upgrade my Windows 8.1 Lenovo G510 to Windows 10 yesterday. Bottom line: everything went wrong.
1. I got the notification that Windows 10 was downloaded and ready to be installed to my Windows 8.1 (64) system. So I did and everything went successfully until my system restarted. I kept getting the error "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR" and restart loop. The laptop will start with the Lenovo logo and the loading dial, then the error pops up. After a few loops it gives me the option to tinker with the command prompt, recovery, etc.
2. So I went online and people were saying how Windows 10 conflicts with AMD graphics. What worked for most people was disabling their AMD in safe mode. I tried to entering safe mode through F8 (fn+F8) for my Lenovo laptop and nothing was working. I searched online and people were saying I can change my bcdedit to startup in safe mode everytime. So I went into the command prompt and typed in bcdedit /set {default} safeboot network. I restarted and everything went SOUTH! A new sequence of looping began: 1. Lenovo logo appears with loading dial, fades to black, logo and dial reappears then disappears as the system shuts down and the cycle loops. Sometimes before the second logo and dial disappear, the text 'Restarting' appears very quickly under the loading dial. Sometimes the text 'Safe Mode' in all 4 corners appears for less than .5 second before the system shuts down.
3. At this point there's nothing I can do but enter the InsyndeH20 Setup Utility through F2. Please visit this link for pictures of my settings and laptop specs. [URL] .....
I decided to try the USB boot with Windows 10 MediaCreationTool on a USB and the install interface showed up when I reboot. From here I could access the repair options and open command compt again, but I can't revert the bcdedit back to normal. It says "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The requested system device cannot be found" when I type bcdedit /enum. View here: [URL] ....
4. At this point, I'm okay with wiping everything and starting fresh. I would like to keep my files but I was over it. However, it says that Windows cannot be installed on any of my drives! Only allows for Delete and Formating, the New button is gray. All of them say Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. I know that the laptop I copied the MediaCreationTool is a 32bit and my Lenovo laptop is a 64bit. Is it possible that is the reason why I can't install windows? When I try to run the MediaCreationToolx64 on my backup, a 'This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running'.
My system: Win 10 64 bit Retail, MSI B150M Mortar, Intel i5-6500, Samsung 512GB SSD, Corsair 2 x 4 GB Memory, etc.
Although my keyboard and mouse are allowed to wake the PC from sleep (in Device Manager), they don't wake the PC. Interestingly, pressing the "Power Button" on my Fractal R5 case does wake it up from sleep.
I have 2 monitors on my system. When the system comes up from power saving mode (unsure if in true sleep mode but user password is required) the task bar on the primary monitor is missing. The secondary monitor has it but not primary touch screen. I've tried various things like toggling auto hide, etc, to no avail but restarting brings it back.
I installed Win10 yesterday on my desktop, but sleep is not an option on power menu. Have tried all options that I find in various forums including driver updates and system settings, but can not get a sleep mode for the power menu. Maybe Win 10 thinks my desktop is a laptop as I only have hibernate for an option.
I have tried using hibernate, but my PC "wakes" anyway and uses too much power with fans. Only power saving solution now is to shut down completely each time I walk away. I have not found the solution in forums for adding back sleep to the menu.
Just installed Windows 10 about a month or two ago, and ever since I upgraded (from Windows 7), whenever a program enters full-screen mode (a game for example), the monitor cycles its power off and back on for a quick second, which causes it to display its "power-on" logo on the screen (in this case, the Acer logo), and wait a few seconds before it goes back to the correct display.
I watched lately when it started doing this, and the blue light that shows monitor power actually flicks off for a quick second, and then comes back on. I've never seen it do this before, but it's like maybe Windows 10 is changing the monitor display output to some insane resolution maybe, and causing it to power itself off for a second? Or it's turning the output off for a second?
Ran win 10 for a couple of days, all seemed fine. this morning I awoke to a black, blank screen tried to restart computer and got an "Entering Power Save Mode" on the screen for a few seconds, that's it ! I now have a Dell XPS anchor...
When I walk away from my computer, I want it to go to sleep in 20 minutes. Sometimes I return after an hour, and the computer is still awake. There's obviously a rat in the woodpile here. Some software is changing my sleep setting from 20 minutes to "Never" without my permission. Sometimes it will sleep normally for a day or 2, then suddenly something resets my sleep time to "Never".
Is there a way I can block this activity, or re-set it to the proper 20 minute setting on each startup?BTW, I had the same problem in WIn7 and Win8. I was hoping it would be fixed in Win10. It has not.
