Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I have recently updated my windows 8.1. the problems that i am facing now  are follows:

  1. Shutdown issue:when i try to shutdown my notebook, the display screen goes off but it appears as if the laptop is in sleep mode as i can still hear the fan and the light on the power button and wifi button is still on. [all updates for windows as well as hp drivers are up to the mark ]
  2. Sleep mode isue: when laptop is in sleep mode it simply does not wake up even after pessing the keys on keyboard.

[note : i have already verified the HID keyboard properties from keyboard option in control panel and confirmred that under power management tab the option "ALLOW THIS DEVICE TO WAKE THE COMPTER " is already selected. still problem persists.

 

kindly help me.

thanks.
