compsavvy Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I wanted your help on the power issue of my notebook.Using batterybar, i have monitored the battery discharge rate and found that on an average, the discharge rate is 4w higher after resuming from sleep that from a reboot.Do you know of any tool that can diagnose it??By the way, my manufacturer(dell) has posted 12 BIOS updates and none of them seems to have resolved the issue, So, I think it must be windows.I have win 7 x64 sp1 installed on a dell studio 1558 notebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Well, do you have anything additional running Windows-wise when you reboot and then start using your computer versus when you resume from sleep and use the computer? Assuming the usage patterns is the same, this is likely a driver issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsavvy Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 I can assure you that usage pattern remains same.Anyway I can debug it cause I am losing a great deal of battery life. I am using catalyst 11.3 gpu driver.I suspect something with the usb root hub as my notebook has a webcam (it is using generic windows driver as oem did not provide any driver for it) and a bluetooth adapter attached to usb. I have disabled bt from the bios. So, it should not create problems.It would be great if you could help me troubleshoot the driver issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
