Hello,
I have a problem that makes me want to destroy my laptop. I use sleep mode a LOT. Until today, it used to actually enter sleep mode. Now, it turns of the screen, and HDD activity seems to stop (At least the light turns off). But it never actually sleeps. In fact, it seems to use MORE power somehow. I usually get ~5 hours on battery. My new awesome sleep mode is so good it consumes the battery in just 3 hours.
So..... WTF?
ASUS U46E
i7 2620M
8GB RAM
512GB SSD (Crucial M4)
Win7 Ultimate x64, up to date according to WU
Kaspersky Internet Security (Latest, up to date) - still happens when it is completely disabled
powercfg -energy https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12886421/energy-report.html
C:\Users\Chris>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.
SYSTEM:
None.
AWAYMODE:
None.
It worked perfectly fine yesterday. Not today. All I have done is install a HP printer - historically the worst installs ever.
Diagnostic boot makes new difference.
Hardware drivers are the most current, as far as I can tell. In device manager, there is an unknown device SM Bus Controller, but it has been unidentified since my last wipe, 8-9 months ago. (Nothing I do can get it to be recognized, but that's... probably... another problem for another day - it hasn't caused issues yet.)
None of the potential solutions made any difference. Actually, most of them did not apply - software I don't have, mostly. Enabling/disabling hibernate makes no difference. Rebooting makes no difference. BIOS is up to date, and hasn't changed in the past day anyway. WOL is disabled. It happens when the WLAN is disabled or enabled.
I have run CCleaner and a full Kaspersky scan. Nothing.
I have checked everything I can think of, and... nothing. I really need help here.
EDIT: Hibernate works fine.
Also... "Don't use sleep" is NOT a valid suggestion. So stop right here, don't bother proceeding. I saw that 'intelligent' solution a little too much while researching this problem.
Thanks!
EDIT: When I it 'wakes up' it still dumps me back at the login screen. So... at least Windows seems to think it slept...?
