Whenever I set my laptop to sleep mode, it...
The screen will turn off like it normally does, but the lights don't, and you can hear the fan and HDD still go on. I tried to leave it on like that for a while but it still didn't go off. The only thing I could do was to hold the power button, but that's pointless for sleep mode.

I have a Gateway NV59, I reinstalled Windows 7 to purge all the Futureshop-installed-for-you crud.

How do I get sleep mode to work?

    I have neighbors from South Carolina and other southern states. I'll tell you, they really do not like the snow. They're almost dying because it's 40 F windchills. lol

    I used to have snow. I hate that it's gone
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Well yeah. Youre not suppose to be walking around outside in an extreme cold warning.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Ive been around snow my entire life. Never lived were there was no snow during the year. And I still hate it.

    @BigOnYa, same where I am, only about an inch, inch and a half or so
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Picked up a pizza and I was shivering out there for like ten minutes 🥶
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    My temp is at 101.5 F again. Feel like complete shit for days in a row.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Tested negative for influenza and covid on Friday morning.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Dumb fucks did no bloodwork. Sent me home with an antibiotic on a guess. If I have RSV it will do absolutely nothing for it. They could have detected that with blood work. Effing morons here.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    My foot is permanently fucked up now too from poor medical care in this town. It should have been put in a cast.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Off to bed so I can toss and turn and wake up several times soaked in sweat with my pillow and bedding all nasty wet from the sweat too. Yay.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Gnite.
