Falling into a deep "sleep" at shutdown

[WRXCoupe]

My shutdown screen defaults to sleep.If I don't manually hit turn off computer or accidentally hit sleep Vista shuts down in sleep mode and will not start up until I have taken the battery our and re-inserted it.

I have a Sony Viao VGN-FZ240E Core 2 T7250-4gigs RAM

Hi WRXCoupe,

Will it not turn on by holding down the Power button for a few seconds?

If you put the computer to sleep manually, does it wake up like it should then?

Check to see if you have the keyboard or mouse enabled to wake the computer up.

The sleep mode has been solved "scooby specialist" = Subaru?

WRXCoupe,

I glad to hear it has been solved. What turned out to be the culprit?

Yes, do tell.

And yeah, I had a buddy in Atlanta who went by the nick Scooby Specialist - I didn't really know the Scoobies at the time and had to ask - but now I do ;P

He ended up getting the WRX Sedan (non STI) and then modifying it a bit himself, mostly bolt ons - TANABE exhaust, some other stuff under the hood...

I am not sure what the culprit was. I downloaded SP1 and it cleared up. It may have been a Viao conflict that was resolved with SP1 and Viao updates. Maybe I am just not good enough to know for sure LOL....most likely.

Yes I am in Atl. I have a 2002 WRX currently putting down 300 AWD/HP to the pavement. Pretty mild compared to the big HP guys but I love it

 

[Brink]

OK. Thank you for the feedback anyway though.

Interesting - I worked with the guy I was talking about, at a place called Given Imaging....

But, his was a Sedan....

Anyhoo, glad you're enjoying your Scooby - I ave my eyes set on the Nissan GT-R when I can afford it....

Glad your problems cleared up - enjoy Vista!

 

[WRXCoupe]

Yeah almost all Scoobies are sedans albeit the pre 2002 Imprezas. If you get a GTR let me know! That is one hellofa car!

It's just a matter of when I am definitely getting one - I'd like it to be this year but most likely will get a 2010 model instead....

hellofa insurance bill on it too :P
