Now my computer is so docile. Enjoy the Internet! Enjoy the knowledge! Enjoy today!<br /><br />PS: if you sometimes got the "blue dead screen", try to uninstall "Hotspotshield". It could be one of the reasons.Beijingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044913830132073249.post-38029642488498632882010-10-27T10:22:21.343-07:002010-10-27T10:22:21.343-07:00This is quite confusing indeed.

I manually tell it to hibernate, it goes through the routine and then turns off. Even if at that point I had 80% battery, when I try to turn it back on it has almost no battery, OR it won't turn on until I put it on the power cord. So somehow it seems to still be using power even after hibernating (I thought that wasn't possible).hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223829577567181173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044913830132073249.post-30007311119601423442010-10-27T03:45:00.037-07:002010-10-27T03:45:00.037-07:00Ok, I think your battery lifetime is short, that m...Ok, I think your battery lifetime is short, that might be why. <br /><br />Did you heed the advice above in the original post?

The system goes to "sleep" just fine. But when you try to hibernate it probably 8-9 times out of 10 it will only go so far and then it will just sit there. Power light on and front lights on, black screen on internal AND external monitors. The only thing to do is to hold power button and reboot. I have not run disk cleanup manually. This happens no matter what time of day I hibernate it and whether I have a bunch of things open or only one. when hibernated. Also, does hibernation on some systems use battery power?? as I have a totally different laptop HP DV7 that when I hibernate with a full battery and leave it overnight, it's low or almost dead in the morning.

After a long period having it, I have been having some issues with turning it to sleep. It has been set to sleep and then when I turn it back on, the machine starts working and my screen is just blank. I then managed to fix it by closing the lid and turning it on again but now it doesn't work no more. I tried to take out the battery for several minutes and turned it on again. I then could choose from these two options: #1: Repair (recommended) #2: Startup normally. I chose #1 of course and after the repair, it restarted. Now it was back to from the beginning where the screen was just blank.<br /><br />HELP!Nikkewlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044913830132073249.post-67785211322784209522010-07-15T11:35:04.233-07:002010-07-15T11:35:04.233-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303888404713862153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044913830132073249.post-36064988233272794782010-04-11T22:22:47.179-07:002010-04-11T22:22:47.179-07:00Anon, Sounds more like a video display driver issu...Anon, Sounds more like a video display driver issue.
