Mysterious issue when going to sleep/hibernate

Whenever I send my Windows 7 computer to sleep/hibernate for the first time, it will act normally. It goes straight to sleep if I have hibernation turned off, or goes into hybrid sleep if I have hibernation turned on. Waking works normally. However, on the second time, the computer will not go to sleep. It sits and spins for about 5 minutes before throwing a BSOD and shutting down. My only workaround is to shut down instead of sleeping on the second time. This has happened ever since I built this computer.

Here's the odd thing, though - a few months ago I had one good streak where I could send my computer to sleep consistently, with no hardware changes. Eventually it did crash again, but I didn't save the dump before I ended up cleaning them out.

What I've done

  • Here's my BlueScreenView entries. For all entries, the crash address is ntoskrnl.exe+6f4c0.

  • Ran memtest - all of my memtest tests came away clean.

  • I used my Win7 installation media to try and repair the OS, but nothing appeared to be wrong.

  • Installed any and all updates to see if the issue was patched at some point.

  • Short of reinstalling the OS, I do not think I have any other options.

Specifications

  • Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, up to date

  • ASRock H97m-ITX/AC

  • Intel i5-4690k @3.5GHz

  • G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB 1600MHz (part number F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL)

  • PNY CS1311 240GB SSD (OS drive,) WD Blue 1TB (part number WD10EZEX), Seagate ST​3250310CS

  • ASUS GTX 960 4GB (part number STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5)

  • EVGA 600B (part number 100-B1-0600-KR)

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
