Windows 7 sleep mode shutsdown

GoFigureItOut · Feb 7, 2016

A couple of days ago, I put my PC to sleep from the power button. A few hours later, I came back to my PC. I moved my mouse to wake it up; instead of seeing Windows login screen, I'm greeted with the BIOS splash screen. After that goes away, I get an error stating Windows didn't shut down properly. I never shut it down. I ran a memory test with mem86+, no bad sticks found. Today I allowed Windows to sleep on its own (15 minutes of inactivity), I saw the power light blinking orange indicating it was sleep; when I woke it up, it was back at the BIOS. I've noticed that Windows takes longer to boot up now. Nothing in the BIOS has changed (that I am aware of). What's going on?

Windows can be configured to eventually wake back up and go into hibernation. It's possible that it's not hibernating properly.

I suggest turning off hibernation and seeing where that gets you.

Well, I turned off hibernation from cmd by running powercfg -h off. I did that shortly after installing Windows... that was back in 2015. The first it happened, my pc was completely off. I asked my bro if we lost power and we didn't. Now when I press the power button and when it sleeps by itself, I'm thrown back to the BIOS splash screen. This is aggravating!

Sounds like it is crashing when it is coming out of sleep. Anything in event viewer? You might try disabling automatic restarts on system failure, to see if it is giving a blue screen before you monitor has time to wake up.

Now that you mentioned it, I did wake up my PC to a blue screen. The system reboot before I could find the culprit. That's when I disabled automatic restart. Since then, there's no blue screen the system just reverts to the beginning. There's a lot of logs in the Event Viewer. I'm assuming it will be in: Windows Logs—system, right?

Just a quick update: Windows no longer reverts back to the BIOS after sleep mode. I used CCleaner to fix the registry and that did the trick
