  1. Laptop turns off whenever lid closed


    I have a problem with my new laptop. Whenever I close the lid, regardless of settings, the laptop just goes into hibernation and then refuses to wake up from it. It keeps falling into hibernation before even lockscreen is loaded if I try to turn it on. The only way is holding the power buton and doing a hard reset. If I disable the hibernation in cmd prompt, it just shuts off instead of hibernating. I checked all the settings, powerplans etc., did a factory reset but the problem stayed. It does that even if I disable all drivers except windows in system configuration. Is it a known problem o

    :)

    Laptop restarts after closing the lid

    Hi,

    It appears that your laptop hibernates when you close its lid. This feature terminates running processes on your machine since it allows the system to use very little power. If
    Do nothing is already selected for Choose what closing the lid does
    in Power Options, let's try to make hibernation unavailable. Follow these steps:

    • Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Click Yes if you get a prompt window.
    • Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off then press Enter.
    See if this will prevent the laptop from hibernating when you close the lid.

    Let us know how it turns out.
