    Sleep mode=Black screen, computer keeps running, force shut-down.


    My laptop, running Windows Ten from a clean install, has issues with the sleep function. About once a day, when I either put the computer to sleep or when it does it on its own, the screen will go black but the computer will not stop running. All the lights are on, the fan and disks keep running. Nothing works to turn the screen back on and my only option becomes to force a shut down.

    I've tried tweaking all the power options in various ways, I've tried disabling/enabling hibernation/fast start and I've searched for an answer but I do not have one.

    Thank you,
    Ed

  2. Windows 10 PC Won't turn on after Sleep Mode

    These past two dies, oddly after I updated my Dell PC to Windows 10, would not turn on after going to Sleep Mode. This final time that I attempted to turn on from Sleep Mode, I (blindly b/c the screen was black) logged in to my computer using my Pin as I
    usually do an the screen went white with black lines and when I moved my mouse, a grey bow followed where it was supposed to be. This weird screen went on and off until I force shut the computer down. I can still force shut down, restart, and or turn the computer
    on, but it's the sleep mode that is utterly "broken".

    How can this get fixed?

  3. Freezing when entering Sleep Mode

    Windows 10 has screwed up my computer. When entering sleep mode, it stops turning off. The screen is black, the computer is non-responsive, but the fan and cpu keep running and never turn off. I can not wake it from this state, and must force the computer
    to shut down by holding the power button before I can get it to run again. It is not only annoying, but I worry about my computer constantly being forced to shutdown improperly. What the hell is going on, and why can't I find any information about this on
    the web?

    I have +/- the same thing since the anniversary update.
    If i put my computer (self-build desktop) to sleep, or it put's itself to sleep, the screen goes blank almost immediatly and then the power-led on monitor starts to blink stating it lost it's signal. But the fans keep on going for around a minute before they eventually stop and all becomes dormant.
    If i shut the PC down this does not not happen, the fans stop spinning almost instantly after the screen went dark.
    I already checked the power options and made another profile just to check but when going to sleep, the fans keep spinning for a while.
    It didn't do that on my previous install (Win 8 + Win 10 update over it). It didn't do that on a fresh pre-anniversary Win 10 install either. It only happened after the update. No clue just yet as of why...

    I also had a similar problem. Seems there is something with Power Plans when upgrading to AU.
    I went to Power Options and choice another Power plan and then choice again Balanced.

    Reboot. It is working now normally.
