After clean reinstall with new SSD, Laptop freezes on sleep/shutdown?
Although I treat my laptop as a desktop and keep it running 24/7, this is kind of annoying.
I had recently performed a clean reinstall when I upgraded my laptop to a Samsung 850 Evo, and ever since then I've had problems with sleep. If I initiate sleep, hibernation, or shutdown then the screen goes black but the status LEDs stay on. punching all the buttons do NOTHING, with my only recourse being to press the power button until the lights go out. After which the system acts as if I woke from hibernation as normal. Restarts are unaffected, which is a good thing as having to force-restart my laptop every week will get old fast.
I believe I have installed all needed drivers, and Device Manager does not show anything missing. I honestly don't know what to do next.
