Guest STspeedskater Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 After booting up my PC it hibernates just fine, either manually or by the timer function. But after a fer hours of use, it no longer hibernates! All text referring to "Hibernation" disappears. Nothing remains in the Control Panel - Power Options box. Is this a Windows XP problem or is it something in the mother board?
Guest RJK Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Dissappering Hibernation In case it's relevant to your problem, I strongly suspect that some of the more recent motherboard bios features such as "Superboot" and "Fastboot," which apparantly save parts of the XP windows environment, ...specfically, at least, on Asrock / Asus motherboards - I suspect can interfere with Windows XP hibernation. I've no proof of this but, hibernation problems, a while ago, on Dads Foxconn 760GXK8MC based PC, appeared to be solved by switching off "Superboot" in bios. (...btw Bios option "Suspend To RAM" needs to be enabled - I discovered a little while ago). regards, Richard "STspeedskater" <STspeedskater@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A49DAE0B-5763-49FD-B9C3-244D19509102@microsoft.com... > After booting up my PC it hibernates just fine, either manually or by the > timer function.

I'll check for bios updates and look at the bios settings.
