    Lenovo legion 7 slim - setting display off in power settings makes it go to sleep...


    Issue im having with my legion, my last lenovo would just turn the display off this one goes into sleep mode no matter what power settings are select. Seems like maybe something in the bios is defaulting any display off function to sleep regardless of what happens. I see some people in the forums with this issue but no one has resolved it yet, any resolutions around?

    :)

  3. Lenovo Legion 5 wakes from Sleep even after disabling waking

    My Lenovo Legion 5 (82AU00BVUS) keeps waking from sleep, even though I've taken all sorts of steps to prevent it. WinVer: 20H2 (19042.867)

    System bios info:
    SMBIOSBIOSVersion
    EFCN38WW

    Here's what I've done so far:

    1. Disable wake timers

    I completely disabled wake timers in Power Options:

    2. Checked wake_armed devices

    I checked which devices are "wake_armed" in powercfg. Armed devices include the keyboard, and the ethernet port of an external dock, which is strange because when I look in device manager at that ethernet port, the enable wake is disabled, so something isn't adding up right.

    3. Check Device Manager

    In Device Manager, I checked on the eXtensible Host Controller that you see mentioned above as the cause of the last wake event. There's only one such controller:

    And the device properties:

    As you can see, according to device manager properties, the device isn't allowed to wake up the computer - and yet it did.

    And remember how it said that the Plugable ethernet was wake_armed? Well check this out:

    4. Check Event Viewer

    Event viewer confirms the eXtensible host controller as the cause of the wake event:

    The system has returned from a low power state.

    Sleep Time: ‎2021‎-‎03‎-‎25T21:37:43.268198000Z
    Wake Time: ‎2021‎-‎03‎-‎25T22:46:01.919720100Z

    Wake Source: Device -Intel(R) USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.10 (Microsoft)
    Summary

    1. In power settings, wake from sleep is disabled entirely.
    2. The system is being woke by a device that, in device manager, shows isn't even allowed to wake up the computer.
    3. Another device (plugable ethernet) shows in powercfg that it is wake_armed, even though its power configuration in device manager says the opposite.

    Something crazy is going on here. How do I stop this computer from waking up?

    Lenovo Legion 7 BSOD Issue

    I have the following computer: Lenovo - Legion Slim 7 15" Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 5800H - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q - 512GB SSD - Shadow Black

    I bought it and it has been fine until today. In using it today it will intermittently get the BSOD and restart before I can read the code on the BSOD. I have done research and it appears that other Lenovo Legions have had this issue, but I haven't found a direct fix yet. What can I do to research the cause of the BSOD and fix the issue? I am also running Windows 11.
