    Hi;

    I own a VGN-TT36GD and I am still loving it. I upgraded its RAM, and changed the HDD to SSD. It is running on a clean install Windows 7, with all the drivers from the Sony website, and updated as neccessary.

    It runs smoothly and still cover my needs, except for one single and annoying problem.

    When the computer goes to standby, and if I wake it up quickly, it instantly resumes.

    However, when I wake it up, after some hours, it takes approximately 10 minutes to wake up. To clarify, I am not using hibernation, and it is turned off permanently.

    I will be grateful to anyone that provides me an insight.

    Regards.

    Check if there is hyper sleep and it's on.

    Thank you for prompt reply. If by hyper sleep you mean hibernation, it is off.

    Yes, I rechecked and both of them are turned off.

    There is a setting somewhere (you'll have to dig around yourself) that controls when the sleep mode changes to hibernate (you aren't supposed to leave the laptop in sleep mode indefinitely).

    Is the laptop plugged in during this time? Since the sleep mode does consume some power, it is possible the battery is getting drained and triggering a critically low battery shutdown.

    Hi,

    Checked everything. It is not a hibernation issue. I also checked that the computer is in stanby mode when this happens, via the standby indicator ring on the power button.

    Regards.

    Try turning off the option to "allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" for the various devices in Device Manager. One of the drivers is not being graceful about this.

    Yes, it possible and I'd bet it's either the Wifi card, bluetooth (if any) or RJ-45 if you have any of those enabled. Try disabling these 3 and see if the problem persists.
