Laptop sometimes fails booting from sleep or hibernate, causing BSOD. Or maybe it fails to go into sleep/hibernate properly.
The problem
I've got this problem with my laptop (ThinkPad P53, Windows 10) where it gets stuck at boot after sleep or hibernate. I don't know if it happens with normal shutdowns and boots since I rarely turn it off completely.
After getting stuck, I either have to wait for like 2 minutes before a BSOD appears, after which it will restart. Or I can press the power button to force it to shutdown and then start it back up.
💡 Why You Are Getting This Error
- Insufficient power supply or failing battery can cause the laptop to fail booting from sleep or hibernate.
✅ Best Solutions to Fix It
Method 1: Disable Hibernation
- Step 1: Go to Power Options in the Control Panel and select 'Choose what the power buttons do'. Then, uncheck the box next to 'Turn on fast startup (recommended)'.
Method 2: Update BIOS
- Step 1: Check the manufacturer's website for any BIOS updates and follow their instructions to update.
💡 Conclusion
To fix this issue, you can try disabling hibernation or updating the BIOS. If the problem persists, it's recommended to seek professional help from a laptop technician.
