What is wrong with my computer do you think?

Question

I have a lap top computer. After in-activity the computer goes into hybernation. (as per normal). I used to be able to half depress the on button and it would resume. However now it doesn't. I have to continue through with a manual shut down and then a restart with the on off button. Possiblities?

Answer 1

I have a lap top, and I was recently having the same type of problem.. it was opening 2 explorers, and they would not close, it was getting slower and slower and stalling out as well.. I asked on here, and the guy told me to do the following.. and it is working beautifully now..

Run an error check. Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag



3. From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3. click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4. click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
- Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should

I actually only ran the error check and my puter is back in fighting form, I did subsequently run the defrag later.

Answer 2

Sound like a virus to me.... Have you scanned for viruses yet? Mine did the same thing and I scanned and found out I had a ton of viruses... You can get free scans on the internet, but my suggestion is to go to the store and buy a good virus remover/protector.

Go to control panel -- power options. You will find the details there. you must have selected that it should hibernate after certain period of inactivity and go to standby before that.
