GD 2W10 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi, I am running Windows 11 x64 build 22000.51 on my HP EliteBook 840 G3, and I use the machine for 30 minutes with one to two VMs open, but then it randomly powers off with no warning. It turns off like it is hibernating, but when I turn it on, the lights come on, but not the display. This has happened to me three times today and I do not know why this is happening. Should I downgrade to Windows 10 or is it a hardware problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyShadow Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Examine the system logs in Event Viewer (if it's still available in Win11, lol). Also, try to disable hybrid sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Running on AC or battery? Silly thing to check to see if the power cord is actually plugged in and working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I would be interested to see if it does it WITHOUT any VMs running. Maybe that would at least isolate it to whatever you use for VMs (VirtualBox?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 ps - have you tried this in an Admin-Rights Command Prompt window - powercfg.exe /hibernate off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
