Apr 18, 2017 So I have no idea what might be the issue but i assume that there is some problems with ASUS drivers or something. ALL ANNOUCEMENTS ACCOUNT. Windows 10 and sleep mode after every 3 min. Hello, welcome to ASUS Republic of Gamers Official Forum. It is ultimately the battery of the laptop which.
First I've done something stupid - I scheduled long disk check on boot, which I wanted to cancel, but I couldn't. So I used emergency power off. It didn't help, so I decided to wait.
It didn't help, the scan caused BSOD and the system would not boot again. I used old Windows 8.1 USB to get to some recovery options. It made things much worse. What was broken? Something with boot loader.
My notebook uses EFI to boot, and for some strange reason it stopped to find the right EFI file. To make long story short, I managed to fix MBR on special boot partition using Windows Recovery Disk (created from my Windows, which booted with EFI disabled). Now I re-enabled EFI, system boots correctly, but 2 problems persist. Hibernation / Sleep don't work. Hibernation just turns off the screens, turns off bluetooth, but besides does nothing. PC is on, when I move the mouse I see logon screen. The sleep option makes some crazy shutdown instead.
PC goes off, but when I switch it on again my user session is not resumed, all programs seems like suddenly terminated. System recovery option (F9 during boot) doesn't work. Recovery option in Windows doesn't work. F9 during boot does absolutely nothing. Recovery option in Windows says it has no installation media, even if Windows 8.1 installation (or recovery) USB is inserted and visible. So basically I want to have hibernate / sleep back. Of course powercfg /H on and powercfg /H off don't help.
I re-installed most chipset drivers, but it didn't help either. No network adapter is set up to wake the PC up, I've double checked this. I'm almost sure it has something to do with partitions, bootloader and MBR. Here's my Disk 0 partition layout: SYSTEM (100MB, FAT32, System, Primary Partition) Recovery (900MB, NTFS, Active, Primary Partition) OS (C:, 217.36GB NTFS, Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition) Restore (20.01GB NTFS, Primary Partition) I managed to create recovery USB using ASUS Backtracker. Somehow it got the data from my not working Recovery partitions. The recovery USB seems to work, shows the option to reset my PC to factory state, but I would rather wait with this. Is there something else to try before 'ending it all' and reformat whole disk?
It seems like the system doesn't know where it should store data on hibernation and where the recovery partition is. IMHO all data on those partitions are fine, the problem is somewhere else, maybe in MBR? Maybe in some Windows settings? Maybe some flags should be set on some of system partitions? The notebook model is ASUS G56JR. @Ramhound - it's almost brand new SSD (6 months). I doubt it's about to fail.
My system worked perfectly well until I run chkdsk with some options on it. I made it to see what happens, tested for a friend whom I wanted to help (test first on my PC before I tell him to do this on his).
Then I heard you shouldn't ever do surface scan on SSD. It was already too late, though I think if I waited in the first place instead doing emergency power off during scanning nothing would break. I read it's a known bug in chkdsk - it can damage data if you turn the PC off while scanning. – Feb 11 '15 at 11:59. It was the hardware, but not the disk nor partitions fault.
Probably the motherboard is damaged so the PC cannot wake up from sleep mode. What's important here - the attempts to use the broken sleep function are very harmful and dangerous. My system partition was damaged beyond repair twice when I tested STR feature. It's probably caused by performing hard reset during disk write operation. I had some issues with sleep mode earlier on different PC, but they could be resolved by reinstalling the system and / or drivers.
This one is 100% hardware fault. BTW, the disk and the memory is 100% fine and tested with various tools. The data corruption I mentioned was caused by broken sleep mode.
To make myself clear: chkdsk did not break my system and it's safe to run on any disk. I also did nothing to break my recovery partition. It was broken due motherboard failure.
Just a bad luck. @MilindR: I contacted Asus support, they told me when I remove all partitions I'm out of luck, the only way to fix the laptop is to send it to them. I haven't done it though, it was not mine (it was my employer property) so I just left it like this. I'm not sure if I would buy this model again. Maybe I broke it with removing it's recovery partition, maybe it has firmware bugs built in.
It's a big shame you can't download necessary tools and binaries from their site. I have no such problems with my old PC, it just works. BTW, the laptop cooling broke soon after this. – Jun 23 '17 at 9:40.
I have an Asus laptop, i7-3610QM 4-core, 6 GB of RAM, 750 GB hard drive space. When I close the lid to put it to sleep, it shuts off, and gives me the Windows Error Recovery screen upon restart, saying is was shut down unexpectedly. The power options are all set to sleep when the lid is closed, both on battery and when unplugged.
I went through the forums and tried a few suggested solutions (chkdsk, /scannow, updating drivers, etc), and so far nothing has provided a permanent fix. I have a Wacom tablet, and I saw that other users were having problems with an associated pen/tablet driver causing the shut down, but I downloaded and installed the most recent one on their site, and still no results. I'll upload the zip file obtained from running the sevenforums tool as well. If you guys could offer any more suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciated. Unlocker was the latest program I installed, but I had that on a previous Toshiba laptop and it never caused problems. My last 10 updates other than that were: Google Talk Plugin Starcraft II update 4 Nividia updates Java 7 update 2 WebTablet plugins for Wacom tablet Wacom Tablet driver I did just notice that my computer's been set to Power4Gear High Performance instead of regular High Performance, so I'll switch that and see what happens. I have yet to try a system restore, but I probably will if nothing else works.
The Power4Gear has a habit of turning itself back on so keep a eye on it. As far as the updates/installs go, I'd say that the Nvidia and Starcraft are probably. Blameless, for want of a better word. You could disable the others one at a time and see if this happens after each until you either narrowed it down to one of them or absolved them. You could also try Asus directly but be aware that their customer service is the worst I've ever seen. Love my G74Sx but Asus could care less about you after they've gotten your money.
(Asus troubleshooting): You MIGHT have better luck at their Republic of Gamers site, there is at least always a company rep. Watching the boards, but he will toe the company line like a laser!. Okay, well I uninstalled Power4Gear, and before putting the system to sleep, I manually end the two Wacom tablet processes that I can using the task manager, and it's still shutting off during sleep, with the same error message.
What still perplexes me is that I can leave the laptop plugged in overnight, and 7 hours later it's still in sleep mode, running fine. I can leave it unplugged for an hour, come back, and it's shut down unexpectedly again. Sometimes it goes for 4 hours unplugged before shutting down, sometimes it goes 20 minutes. The sheer randomness of this problem is one of the most confusing things I've encountered in all of the years I've owned a computer.
I unfortunately don't have a restore point available that's further back than a few days ago, so System Restore is out of the question. My only real idea (other than formatting the hard drive) is installing Windows 7 Professional over my current Home Premium.
I'm not sure if this would even possibly solve it, but I'm reaching my wit's end. I also started using the error logging function from the boot menu, and found my system is having consistent trouble loading these drivers: SystemRoot System32 DRIVERS srv.sys SystemRoot System32 Drivers NDProxy.SYS SystemRoot System32 drivers dxgkrnl.sys SystemRoot System32 drivers vga.sys Still looking for a foolproof fix for this, or even a cause, as I read on other forums it could be anything from a driver issue to a hardware problem.

Any more suggestions? Similar help and support threads Thread Forum Hello everyone! I have a problem, I saw this 2 days ago and a few minutes ago, I looked at my laptop, it was closed.
I opened and I saw same screen and now, I decided to take some help from here. I have no idea why it does that, thanks. Performance & Maintenance Help! My PC shuts down unexpectedly. I'm pretty sure it's not the CPU overheating because when idle it's at 37° and when I play games like NBA 2K14 its at 64°.
