  1. Windows crashed? would not sleep, so told it to sleep, now no boot


    Last night I told it to sleep, I thought maybe related to network sharing I had setup?
    It fell silent, fans off.

    This am, fans running screen off, move mouse screen wakes showing log in screen, screen blips off and on every few seconds, can not interact with the screen. Keyboard numlock light is on can be turned off and on, nothing though.

    So I unplug it and reboot, it tries to start 3 times, reboots, finally goes to the cant start screen and says attempting repairs. That runs for a while, then it reboots, and just a black screen whirling dots now for 30 minutes,

    This is a 500gb WD Blue SSD, so what got corrupted?
    windows is 2o2h
    Do a reinstall?

    video of what its doing

    Get this, it must not completely dead. the network shares are up on this PC, I just went in and opened the share, and modified a text document, so its OS is running. If you wait a while it sleeps, screen goes black. I also just copied a 32gb folder into the 'dead ' pc.

    Well, I force reboots with power button 3 times, brought up startup repair, gave it my password, and windows tells me start up repair couldn't repair your PC

    - - - Updated - - -

    Ok, doing a reset this PC, cloud download install and keeping my files

    - - - Updated - - -

    about to give up claims PC cant be reset

    Next step reset as in wipe it? I will wait an hour, and if no ideas here, that is my next step.

    :)

    Windows won't boot back up from sleep

    Check your power settings in the BIOS. Windows 7 sleep mode works fine. I wouldn't suggest disabling it. Why have your system sucking air and spinning drive if your not using it. I have seen some issues with some input devises not allowing the system to go to sleep. But Drone mentioned it

    Windows 10 PC, issues with sleep and slow boots

    @Mussels Welcome to the most widespread, yet elusive to pin down problem plaguing W10 even with SSD's! (meaning it's not your HDD)

    You can googlebing to your heart's content and try every wild-assed fix out there, but you'll only make a dent in your frustration level.

    What has MOSTLY helped me is turning off hibernation by turning off all sleep and power saving options in Windows, and turning off fast boot by deleting hiberfil through the CMD line (as an admin).

    Now it only hangs on boot or restart 1 out of 5 times. LOL, and I call that progress. I have two steps to take that look like they might be promising.

    I'm going to disable all power saving features in BIOS, and try a new BIOS which was released after W10.

    No one, including M$ has figured it out yet. Some of the speculative fixes you'll find come from their own forums where so-called Windows experts seem to be the most clueless of everyone.

    Anyway, I listed what has helped me somewhat after 4 weeks.

  4. Windows crashed? would not sleep, so told it to sleep, now no boot

    Sleep

    Hi,

    This may happen due to its power plan. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how computers use and conserve power. For this, we suggest that you reset and restore power plans to its default. kindly follow these steps:

    • Open the Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy and paste the command below into the command prompt, and press
      Enter
      :
      • powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    • Close the Command Prompt window, and then restart your PC to apply the changes.

    After that, go to Power & sleep settings
    by typing it into the Windows Search. Check the When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after
    settings is set to Never.

    Let us know if the steps above helped you to resolve the issue.
