1223299 2011-08-15 02:34:00 Started happening a few days ago. I normally hibernate my laptop when i go to sleep, and in the morning ive been finding that the laptop doesnt resume windows, it just starts it up again from scratch...and when i get into windows, i get a "windows encountered an unexpected problem" message, saying there was a BSOD....

Any idea whats going on here? How can i have a BSOD when my laptop is in hibernate mode?

I think some people have fixed this by changing S3 to S1 in the BIOS (probably under power management). This may or may not fix it

1223302 2011-08-16 00:49:00 It might help if you disabled auto restart on BSOD. Then you can tell us what the BSOD code is.

Info:- (Right Click on “My Computer” and goto “Properties”. Then goto the “Advanced” tab and under the headline “Startup and Recovery”, press the “Settings” button. Untick the “Automatically Restart” box and press Ok.

Also, in most cases if you press F8 after a BSOD crash you will have the option “Disable Automatic Restart”).

But since this problem is recent, you could try restoring to a date before the problem started.

Do a full scan of the HDD for errors.
Defrag.
Re-enable hibernation.
Cross your fingers.

1223304 2011-08-16 02:24:00 Look in the BIOS and see if its there Speedy Gonzales (78)
1223305 2011-08-16 07:32:00 Well the crash data appears to be auto saved to memory.dmp. Any idea what i can use to open it? I tried notepad and it just hangs.

I also did a chkdsk in command prompt and it turned up nothing. When i try to do a chkdsk to scan for and recover bad sectors, the laptop prompts me to restart the computer, but it immediately skips the disk check while rebooting (i dont even touch the keyboard at all). No idea how to fix that.

1223306 2011-08-16 07:33:00 See what bluescreenview says (www.nirsoft.net). Download is at the bottom Speedy Gonzales (78)
1223307 2011-08-16 13:11:00 I uploaded bluescreen's report.html here : www.mediafire.com Question (15792)
1223308 2011-08-16 22:42:00 You could try this (if it installs) (support.microsoft.com)

Is SP1 installed?

Or get this (support.microsoft.com)

It sounds like your problem

This maybe an earlier fix (support.microsoft.com)

Or this if its an AMD system (support.microsoft.com)
