W3V does not wake from hibernate (have read other threads)

I just received my W3V today, and I have the problem discussed in these threads:

When coming out of hibernation, the bar fills but halts at 100%. Nothing happens even after 2 or 3 minutes - and there's no point in waiting longer, because I may as well just shut down if hibernation is that slow.

I've disabled (well, uninstalled) the Asus update program, I've downloaded the latest video drivers and I've made sure I have the most recent bios flashed. I checked that Execute Disable is not enabled. Nothing works.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Ben

 

Try unplugging any usb hubs you have or all your usb devices, i've found this helps with my m6n.

 

The laptop was on battery, with nothing at all plugged in. So it's not that...

 

Try disabling hibernation, then restarting the machine then reenabling it. I think this clears the hibernation file so that its fresh. I did this on one machine and it worked for an issue that was almost the same, i think the other machine's hibernation was stuck at 90 odd percent though.

 

A friend with a W3V was having the same problem. I found no solution. I wiped the drive and did a fresh install from a winxpsp2 disk and formated with ntfs. She hasn't had any problems since. I had wiped mine right after I got it, so I don't know it it had the problem or not.

 

Did you happen to have updated your LAN driver? The hibernation problem with my W3V cropped up when I updated the LAN driver through Windows Update. Hibernation works again after I reverted back to the older drivers that came pre-installed on the notebook.

 

Same problem here. Performed a fresh install: no difference. Changed drivers, to no avail. Very frustrating.

 

Thank you so much!

Roll back LAN driver; hibernate works. Reinstall from Update; hibernate hangs. Roll back again; hibernate works again.

I think that's pretty conclusive.

Though it makes me wonder how all these other solutions that people have given could have worked on their own W3Vs. Is it possible that we all had different problems, though we had the same symptom?

 

Thank you! This solved the probem in my case too.

 

Good to hear that the fix worked in your case also.

I am wondering whether the updated LAN driver has also affected other notebooks (with the same chipset) from resuming quickly from hibernation.

 

KUDO TO WILLYNILLY.

I just spent more than 1/2 a day trying to fix hibernation problem on my z63a and z70v. I tried remove centrino hardware control...norton ghost.. etc...reinstall all drivers...nothing seem to work....until i reinstall asus lan driver instead of using driver from windows update...work straight away on both z63a and z70v.

just wish willynilly was able to help yesterday when i last check this thread....would have saved me 1/2 day...

This is a great fix willynilly .

 

Actually, it did turn out to be the LAN driver. Thanks willynilly!

I had the latest driver installed from the manufacturer (Marvel Yukon), and when I originally rolled back it went to the default WHQL driver (since I did a fresh format). This didn't work. However, when I updated to the supplied Asus driver, it did! I've tried hibernation in a variety of situations and it's resumed flawlessly each time.

I wonder why the updated version of the ethernet card driver is the cause of the problem.
