Toshiba Satellite A665-3DV sleep shutoff [Solved]

[Uranium-235]

I recently re-installed win7 on this guys laptop after cleaning up this thermal compound on the nvidia chip and i7 chip (brought idle temp down ~20C)

anyways, everything was working fine till I installed the nvidia driver. After that, when it wakes up from sleep (not hibernate), it will work for a second or two before the fan goes full, and it simply powers off

I tried different version of the nvidia driver, the latest from nvidias website, two different version from toshibas website. I installed the sleep utility that allows for continual power to the usb ports after sleep. I used double driver to re-install a number of toshibas driver-services. Still does it. Only thing I can do is disable the sleep timers and have the lid go to hibernate.

anyone have any idea? The bios is updated to the latest version (was when I got it)

Re: Toshiba Satellite A665-3DV sleep shutoff

nope solved it

I also noticed another strange issue, windows 7 (64-bit) said 4.00GB (1.93GB usable).

resource monitor said 2.7gb is hardware reserved

doing some look into that, someone said to reset the cmos

this laptop, I first tried to short the battery, didn't do it. So I had to unsolder one side of the battery lead and solder it back. Finally, it dumped the cmos settings (using "restore defaults" was just not a true reset for this motherboard). I set them back. Now 72MB is hardware reserved, and the sleep problem, is gone.

this was after reflashing the bios back and forward with no avail
