  1. Laptop keeps crashing when lid is closed


    My Acer Aspire A315-24p keeps crashing when the lid is closed or whenever it goes into sleep mode. I thought disabling hibernation and sleep mode would fix it, and it did for a while. All the sleep settings are turned to "never". I also disabled the screen timeout feature. But now, whenever I close the lid, it has the same error. Each time I come back to my device, when I close the lid for about an hour, it says "No Bootable Device" even with only the charger plugged into it. Rebooting the device takes at least twenty minutes because of this issue, and it is a major hindrance to me. Any help i

    :)

    Keep external monitors on when laptop lid is closed

    Just in case this hasn't been resolved yet, you can get to the laptop lid settings by going to Start Menu and finding "Control Panel." When there, choose Hardware and Sound > Power Options. When on the "Power Options" screen, the list of options on the left should contain "Choose what closing the lid does." Choose that option and you should see settings for "When I close the lid" when "On battery" and when "Plugged in." You could choose to set both to "Do nothing." I usually set the "Plugged in" option to "Do nothing" when connected to external monitors.

    NOTE: There is a quick way to get here from the Settings app too. There should be a "Find a setting" search box on the left. Type "lid" in there and hit Enter. A suggestion should come up that says "Change what closing the lid does." If you select that suggestion, it will take you to the same Control Panel location I mentioned above.

    Laptop restarts after closing the lid

    Hi,

    It appears that your laptop hibernates when you close its lid. This feature terminates running processes on your machine since it allows the system to use very little power. If
    Do nothing is already selected for Choose what closing the lid does
    in Power Options, let's try to make hibernation unavailable. Follow these steps:

    • Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Click Yes if you get a prompt window.
    • Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off then press Enter.
    See if this will prevent the laptop from hibernating when you close the lid.

    Let us know how it turns out.
