mac - MacBook Pro running Windows 7 trouble sleeping


I have Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition and everything was working fine until now... now, when I close the lid, the computer doesn't go to sleep completely (fans are running)... when I reopen it, the screen remains black and I have to hard reset the machine.


Details:
when I close the lid the computer keeps running and the white LED turns on (not blinking). When I open the lid the LED turns off but the screen doesn't appear (computer is still running). Closing the lid again causes the light to turn on again and so on...


I installed the latest Win7 bootcamp drivers, updated NVidia driver with even newer version and tried to disable the MacDrive service (I suspected MacDrive could be the culprit because I installed it recently).


I ran “sfc /scannow” to check for and repair corrupted system files, but it also didn't help.


What else could I do? Can this be related to the fact that I'm running Windows on a Mac, or is it probably the problem in Windows (something got screwed)?


Answer



The reason for behaviour was MacDrive Pro 9.0.5.14 after all... disabling the service was not enough.. uninstall resolved the issue as did update to v9.0.6.4
