G1S and Closing the Lid - Will not wake back up

Hey guys,

My G1S will not wake up when I close the lid (or press the power button when it is on). They both perform the same function: Sleep.

When the computer is asleep and I want to wake it up I open the lid and press the power button. The lights turn on (direct messenger, wireless, and hard drive) as does the backlight for the screen. The problem is the screen is black and I have left it there for a good hour and it is still black (I refuse to leave it there longer because that is just unacceptable). Does anyone know what is going wrong?

 

Check you manual or look on the bottom of the laptop, there should be an emergency shutdown button which you have to use a straightened paper clip or needle to press down.

When you've done that leave it for a couple of minutes then it should start up normally when youm press the power button.

 

Well, if you depress the power button for 10 seconds, the computer does a hard reboot. This is not the solution that I am looking for, but thanks for the idea.

It should just boot right back up to where it was but it does not, just a black screen and I have to reboot. Errr......!

 

It's alright, no problem

 

Live Design, I have the exact same problem !! some say it's graphic drivers, others say it's bios. I say it's bios. I allready told asus the problem but they seam the just ignore it.

Also, could i ask you for a favor ?? could you download and run cpu-z and test if you can make your cpu STAY at 2.2 ghz ??Like running super pi 1,5 mod and doing a 1M test


I'm trying to do that and it just won't stay or even go till 2.2ghz. If you do that on battery it works, this is stupid. It's not power gear extreme problem. Neither vista or xp!

 

Yes, it does stay up (2194.5 Mhz --> Basically 2.2Ghz - Calculated PI 2M in 58s). Sorry if that is bad news.

 

when on ac or battery ???? on battery mine stays at 2,2 ONLY when you do something heavy, on ac it doesn't. could you make a super pi 1M on ac then on battery ??? (and of course force the cpu at 2.2.

Also, could you enter the bios and tell me your version ?? mines 202

 

OK here are the stats:

Super PI Results
Plugged in:
1M: 25.049s --> CPU-Z: 2194Mhz (constant)
2M: 58.437s --> CPU-Z: 2194Mhz (constant)

Battery (High Performance):
1M: 24.630s --> CPU-Z: 2194Mhz (constant)
2M: 57.384s --> CPU-Z: 2194Mhz (constant)

BIOS
Version:
202

ForceWare
Version:
160.03

OS
Version:
Vista

I find it interesting that it would be faster on battery....hmmm.

 

I have to be missing something. I do not believe that i have a faulty notebook.

Thank you for your help

Superpi 1M - AC - 43.109 s
Superpi 1M - Battery - 21.844 s

 

Updated my post with OS info.

 

Lets check your Power4Gear (I know you said that it is not the problem but lets check anyway just to make sure).

Here are my settings:

High Performance --> Plugged in
Processor Power Management:
Power4Gear Processor Control: Maximum Performance
Maximum Processor State: 100%
Minimum Processor State: 100%

 

Just to know, do you use powergear ?? and can you force your cpu to minimum and stay there or maximum and stay there ?? this i cannot do either on ac ou batt.

LOL you read my mind. I have cpu at 100% lol this is getting silly. I have to RMA the laptop because the fsb controller is stupid :S I'm going the make a system restore. I must be missing something

Any ideas ?

 

I use Power4Gear.

My CPU right now is idling at: 1197MHz
Power Mode: High Performance

Then I use the settings posted before so that when the computer actually starts working, it uses ALL of the processor.

 

Check your pm please

 

Im getting the same thing, super pi 1.1 1m ac -43 seconds
1m battery - 23 seconds.
havnt checked my bios version yet but I think its the latest one.
Its on high performance too. Strange!

 

LOL, you mean the only BIOS.

202 is the only bios.

 

I had the same reading as you, then I restarted my laptop and my ac super pi went down to 23 seconds for 1m. I dont think there is anything wrong with you laptop. Try restarting and run super pi first.

 

There was a bug on Windows XP:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923232/en-us

I am going to find out if Vista has same issue.

 

Is that the BIOS version that came with it or did you update it?

 

That's what the man said, so it seems there exists no BIOS update as yet.

 

Ken seems to have found it. Make sure that you inform us if you find the Vista issue. I will look also. Nice find Ken!

 

I found this on another website:

I use 160.03.

I also found this and this sounds like the fix:

NOTE: The link does not work and I think that it is for Home Basic only,

I am going to call MS to see if they will resolve the issue. I will get back to you all ASAP.

 

I FOUND IT:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928135/en-us

 

That's it, nice work.

 

So you have to call Microsoft for the fix and they will send it to you via email when they determine that you do indeed need the hotfix.

They are sending it to me right now and I will install it and tell you how it is.

They did say that this hotfix is not public because it is still in testing so they recommend a full backup of the system before you install. Blah blah blah.

I will post back in a few minutes to tell you guys if it worked.....man I hope that it does.

 

hi guys. I did solve that ac problem by pressing the reset under the laptop without battery in and ac. Also i did a load defaults on the bios after that. It solved the problem. So it's bios related.. shame on you asus llooll you almost made me go mad.

The resume problem, it really seems that older nvidia drivers does not have the problem. since it also happens on xp with 160.03. and 165.01

Just have to wait for newer drivers.

I'm really glad that the ac problem went away !!

thank you

 

The hotfix did not work.....darn!

 

The problem is nvidia related :S sorry

 

I had the same probleme, just installed the default driver and it works fine... (VGA driver from the Asus CD)

 

Donuthole, you are right. That fixed it.

 

Yet another problem caused by modded video drivers...

 

Yup, I guess I'll just wait for Asus to release there own drivers...darn.

 

I didnt use modded drivers, I downloaded them from the Asus web site.

 

Are you still having the problem?

 

I was, but I just reinstalled the vga driver fom the cd and its all good now. Super Pi 1m is back to 23 seconds while plugged in. I guess we have to stick to the cd drivers for now.

 

Mine works fine. When I close the lid the computer goes to sleep mode. Then I open it again and press the power button. The computer wakes up and everything is fine...

 

i'm not using asus drivers and suspend to ram works. the new nvidia 15x series causes the problem, use 10x series

 

Exactly what drivers are you using, did you download them from Nvidia. Are they better then the drivers from Asus?

 

Well, we fixed my issue. My graphic drivers where causing the problem.

 

Hmm, graphics card drivers messing with laptop hibernate!! Anyhow, glad that u guys were able to solve the problem.

 

i did not benchmark then but i need drivers for xp so

and vista

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13410

 

I'm using the drivers included in the laptop. Didn't change anything...

 

But yours is working. So is mine now that I reinstalled my default graphics drivers. I am confused now .
