bluewind. Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I recently reformatted my hard drive and installed Vista on the main partition and Windows 7 on another smaller partition. Ever since, whenever I'm in Vista (which is 99% of the time) and it goes to sleep and I try to wake it up, it seems to wake up and there is CPU activity but the screen remains blank and it seems to freeze after I try hitting some keys and then I have to do a hard shutdown. Not sure if it has anything to do with 7 because I installed both on the same day. I am up to date on my windows updates. Also, I'm running on an HP dv6000t laptop and have never encountered this problem before (I have reformatted many times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malskazz Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nvidia Drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidguru Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 If you have an NVIDIA card, I've had the same problem. The 18x Series GeForce Driver Releases seem to give some set-ups this problem. It can usually be fixed by installed the 179.28 notebook drivers Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewind. Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I do use sleep, and it's most likely not the drivers since they worked perfectly fine before I had to reformat. I've heard of fixes Microsoft released, but I'm not clear on the details.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
