Hibernate Mode

[Guest Richard]

I put my PC in hibernate mode whenever I am out and during the night.

Lately, it has been coming back up on its own shortly after I put it in

hibernate mode. They only time it would do it before is when I had

something scheduled, such as a Norton upgrade. I haven't done anything to

my PC of late to cause this to happen, excpet perhaps a Windows upgrade.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks

RE: Hibernate Mode

 

This cannot be a Windows problem, as a computer in hibernation is in exactly

the same state as when turned off at the power button. The only software

(capable of) running is the bios, and it's here that the problem must lie.

Check in the bios screens for a wake-on-Lan or timer function.

 

The other possibility is that you have a hardware problem. If so (and you're

happy with hardware work) strip the computer down to the bare essentials and

see if the problem persists. The re-add components until the problem

resurfaces. I've had this happen with a faulty network card.
