    Ok so, my computer runs fine until it goes to sleep mode, then weird things happen. First it will come out of sleep mode on it's own and go to the profile select screen. then it will go back into sleep mode and my fans start blinking like the power is going on and off and i have to pull the power to get it to restart. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or a windows issue. but the only thing i have changed recently is my computer is hooked up right to a cable modem now and before it was just off a usb receiver, My computer is not over heating none of the cores ever get above 40c on full load.

    Here are my specs,

    antec 300 case
    antec 430 PSU
    XFX hd Radion 4870 video card 1gig
    intel core 2 quad Q9550 processor(over clocked to 3.2GHZ)

    Will someone discuss power settings for laptops running W7? I always allowed the old XP Laptop to hybernate when the lid is closed. It ran that way for 5 years without major incident. There was the occaisional need for a re start but that was pretty rare.

    Nope no problems and I know how and where to change settings. It is the whether to or why that I am interested in.

    Barry,

    I do not use hibernate on a notebook, ever. I don't recommend my notebook power settings to anyone, (EVERYTHING IS SET TO NEVER.)

    I rarely use my notebook at home it's mostly in use for client house calls. I suggest you try the "standby" mode rather than hibernate.

    Windows 7 has had some issues with both notebooks and desktops. (Coming out of hibernation)

    I had already reset my power options to "sleep" when the lid is closed. I normally do a complete shutdown if I am going to be away for a while.
