Boot Camp hibernating Windows 7?
I recently installed Windows 7 on my laptop. Before I was running Vista and when I shut the lid it’d hibernate and the light would “breathe.” When I’d open the lid, it’d begin unhibernating and start things back up like it should. After reinstalling Windows 7, I don’t think I have the proper chipset drivers to make it work like it used to, although I’m not sure. Now the laptop shuts completely off and when I open the lid I have to push the button, and (this is what bugs me) the clock tends to be either 2 hours fast or slow of the actual current time. The clock is the main thing I want to fix, I don’t mind hitting the power button to start it as long as the clock is the right time.
I have my power settings set successfully, I’m not your average computer user. It’s a driver issue somewhere and I don’t know which drivers for what to get.
First, check your power settings. It sounds as if you have the lid switch set to shut down, not sleep or hibernate.
