M17XR3 3D Hibernate problem with Samsung 470 256gb SSD

I recently installed a Samsung 470(830 was not available) SSD 256gb as hdd1 (not hdd0). I had to do a fresh install of win7 ultimate as I couldn't restore from the Alien Respawn backup, something about drive being too small.

I have been trying to get hibernate to work but I have only gotten it to work once with some "Turn On Hibernate" settings I found on sevenforums.com. I updated my BIOS and Nvidia drivers to the latest versions(that was the first and only time it worked). Since then, I can no longer get it to resume from hibernate.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get Resume from Hibernate to work?

Thanks in advance.

 

Anyone have similar setup and have resume from hibernate working? Did you do anything to get it to work?

Thanks.

 

I hate hibernate / turn off hard disk / well, even put to sleep... never functioned properly in any of my laptops... will never turn it on, I will turn off laptop whenever I don't need it

 

when you got that fast a boot time, why put it to sleep?

 

exactly

 

Waking the comPuter from sleep is still faster than booting. I want the fastest so i put my lappy to sleep i don't do hibernate though since it will take lots of space from my ssd.

i had freezing problem and bsod before when waking my computer from sleep. Switching to raid from ahci solved this issue for me.

 

Thanks, I'll try switching back to raid and reinstall on the weekend.

 

Because I can continue where I last left off whatever I was doing.

 

ah thats true. One small problem is that you are going to have to reinstall the OS I believe if you plan on swapping from RAID to AHCI.

 

Last time my R3 woke up from sleep, it complains about the crashing trackpad driver. Well, trackpad driver was never good but unable to wake up for this reason is... you just don't want to see this.

I close hibernation, sleep on any system I use. I'd rather keep track on my work progress "manually" than let Microsoft figure that out for me. They REALLY suck at this.

 

FYI - You really do not want to do this. Hibernate writes to your SSD and if you use it often you will destroy the write capability/performance of the drive as SSDs can only rewrite sectors a fairly limited time. Not usually a huge problem but Hibernation writes the contents of your memory to disk. Either shut down or use standby.

 

awesome point, +rep

 

I am going to RAID from AHCI

 

same thing I think. I could be wrong though.

 

Thanks, I'll use sleep/standby instead of hibernate.

 

Well, I finally finished reinstalling and still cannot get sleep to work correctly. After the computer comes out of sleep, the screen is black.

Back to SWTOR.

 

haha have fun with TOR, I gotta wait for it to be released since I don't have the time to download 20 gigs.
