    My M14x can't wakeup after sleep; but it can wakeup after hibernation.

    I tried update to newest drivers for both videocards (intel integrated one and the discrete nVidia one), but still the same.

    Anyone has similar problems and solutions? thanks.

    I had this issue with one of my other laptops a few months back, and turned out to be the RAM I installed.

    Hope this helps....

    It happened to me once or twice.

    I bought an alarm clock and I'm fine now.

    As for the M14x, I pushed the power button (est, it was in sleep mode) and it worked!

    Hope this helps.

    1) I think to wake you laptop from sleep, you have to press the power button. I don't think mouse click on any other key helps. This may sound stupid but might work.

    2)Try some RAM tests such as memtest 86 or windows own RAM module test to make sure its not a defective RAM causing it.

    Hope your problem fixes out
