Not waking from sleep

[gumpster2008]

I have a dell xps 630 with windows 7 on it and when it goes to sleep it can not be woke up. It wont wake from keyboard and mouse or from pushing the power button. It wont even turn off if i hold the power button, i have to unplug it. Any ideas.

Turn off sleep mode.

Windows 7? Maybe you should let them finish it first.

Ya, I could turn off sleep but would like to know what it is. Is it my BIOS or something in window 7. its done it with build 6801, 6956, & the new 7000 so im thinking it may be a BIOS thing cause MS probably would have something like that fixed by now.

install vista, see if sleep works, that should answer ur question.

The vista prebeta and even the beta1 had this same exact problem.

I know the solution in Vista is to remove the powersources, battery and cord, and push the powerbutton for 15 seconds. That worked when I had a simular problem on my mothers notebook. Since Windows 7 is supposed to be simular to Vista I guess it's worth a try 😉

Buy a better alarm clock.

I wanted to turn it on so the computer would sleep and save some money but for now I guess i will leave the sleep off. When the bata starts i will submit a bug report on it to both dell and MS. I tried holding the power button, it doesn't do anything.

Of course! Never use a pre-Beta as your main OS =)
