The machine runs totally fine while it's booted, but if I shut the lid there is a chance chaos ensues. I've even updated the BIOS as well as flashed older versions. I've run memtest86 to ensure stability, run prime95 torture test to detect any infallibility in CPU or memory and everything has come back clean.
#Windows 8 sleep mode settings drivers
I have tried about five different drivers for my wireless network adapter, I've tried different Bluetooth drivers, I've tried different lan drivers, I've got everything up to date driver-wise from the Acer website for my laptop model, and my graphics driver is up to date from the AMD website, I've even tried the beta driver. The issue is not related to my power management options as far as I can tell. After doing this, the laptop will again freeze at the splash screen and require a hard reset, but it will boot with the adapters present. I can't use the machine like this obviously, and the only thing I've been able to do to get them to be detected again is to shut the machine off, remove the battery and unplug it, hold down the power button for 30 seconds, plug it back in and replace the battery, and boot it again.

This includes wifi, Bluetooth, lan, nothing.

Either it will freeze at the Acer splash screen with no hard disk activity and I will have to reboot it again, or it will boot into Windows but with no network adapters detected at all. I am forced to hard reset the machine.Īfter booting, one of two things will happen. No keyboard response, no screen backlight, no hard drive activity, nothing. I am met with a black screen, the power light comes on and the fan spins, the battery charge light comes on if the machine is plugged in, but other than that nothing. When I put my machine into sleep mode as I do regularly, at random occasions it will not wake up. I have an Acer V laptop with an AMD A8 4500m APU and 8gb of aftermarket Kingston memory, tested to work fine on this machine and others. I've been a long time user of this site and created my account just to ask you guys for help. Let me start by saying that I've been troubleshooting this problem for a long time and it is really irritating.
