Hibernate problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.os.windows-xp,alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

When I put my computer into the hibernate mode it takes a long time to
respond, it then goes thru the process, the screen goes dark, but then
almost immediately goes into "resuming windows" and restarts back to
desktop. I've ran numerous spyware, anti-virus,trojan horse,and BHO programs
and it hasn't any effect on the issue. Any suggestions?

Suggestion - never use hibernate. If the file it creates ever becomes
corrupted, it will stop your computer booting without the file being
deleted.

Why would it become corupted? It never happened to me yet.
And there's an F8 option to skip restoring and start normal boot

That sounds like an alarmist response to a feature that generally works
well. I find the hibernation feature one of the handiest improvements
to the OS over Win98. I've got my PC on much of the day and night, but
now when I leave the office for a bit I put it into hibernation knowing
it will resume in about 15 seconds when I return, instead of waiting for
the normal boot up process which seems like an eternity, no matter what
PC I'm on. YMMV

If the hibernation file becomes corrupted the os should prompt to boot
normally.
I use suspend more often though as my little laptop can stay suspended for a
couple days before it would run the battery too low. I've never had it off
for any longer than that so hibernation isn't really useful for me.

To answer both (Tom & Ted) - as i wrote in other thread: because standby
doesn't work right. I have Logitech Internet navigator keyboard and if i go
into standby and wake up, sometimes special keys on the keyboard doesn't
work anymore, and same happens with extra keys on my Logitech Trackball -
only basic two keys work. And, if i remember correct, when go into standby,
fans keep running, and also motherboard is under full power supply, which i
snot good to leave over night. While hibernation shuts off PC completely.
ANd here's the difference between two. Standby shuts down only CPU, VGA card
and i think that's about it. All other stuff remains on, and that's why
after wake up all remains intact (well, not all in my case) - because RAM
and other stuff is always on power.

It seems then, that your reason for choosing hibernation over standby is
that your Logitech hardware does not come out of standby correctly. Logitech
is your problem, not standby. Logitech should be able to make their hardware
work with standby.

In my system (Dim 4500) the fans turn off in standby, but I can't say if
this is true for all computers.

In standby (S3) the system has only enough power to respond to a 'wake up
call' - truely a small amount which will not damage your system or run up
your power bill.

It's a common problem with /ANY/ other vendor's stuff too. Reviving from
Standby doesn't work reliably on a lot of PCs. I don't use it either even
though it does work on my current machine... I prefer Hibernate.

Standby mode consumes battery power, albeit much less than normal
running, but that means the battery will eventually go flat.
Hibernation mode consumes no battery power because the PC is fully
powered down whilst in that state.

Yep and you havent died yet either so why would that ever happen to you?

Doesn't help with a hiberfile corruption.

As to the windows coming back when you reboot normally, that option is
available to turn on in XP but the way in which they come back over the
screen wouldnt be the same.

Each to their own. I sometimes like to leave a particular window open in
order to remind me to do something the next day when I turn the computer on
and up it pops.

Sure - and having an AV program is an alarmist response to an OS that
generally works well. You have an AV program just in case. You shouldnt use
hibernation for the same reason. Hiberfil probs happen more often than you
would think.

I would like to know how much you pay for electricity. I pay 12 cents per
kilowatt hour. 3 of my computers are 300 watt PSUs so I am paying almost 12
cents an hour to run them. Doesnt sound much right? Work it out over a
month. I ended up setting my computers to turn off at midnight, on at 6:30
when I get up and off again at 9AM by which time I am at work. I often do
forget to turn them off is why.

15 seconds is OK for you and about 25 to 30 seconds isnt? XPSP2 on a 512meg
DDR 1.7ghz and that is approximately all it takes to boot here. If yours is
taking longer from a cold start, you probably should be looking at why.

It's not just the time factor; it's also the fact that applications
resume right where they were when the pc goes into hib. mode. very
convenient. If you don't find that useful, so be it. Let's not try to
convince each other to change our ways. I respect that you prefer a
cold start; I prefer to use the hib. feature.

As I said - you have to boot off the XP CD and then go to the first restore
prompt and from there delete the hiberfile.

After that you can reboot normally with possible loss of data.

Right up until the moment that you go to make the computer come back to life
and find the hiberfile is corrupted. At that point it is very INconvenient
AND you can lose data.

I wont try to make you change your ways. Didn't do it before, wont do it
now. However, recommending using hibernation is just bad practice.

I disagree. If hibernation works as it's supposed to, there's no reason
whatsoever not to use it in favor of a shutdown/startup sequence.

Yep - and there's the cake taker! "If hibernation works as it's supposed
to....". You appear to miss the whole crux - when it doesnt, you cant boot
the machine normally, you cant get to a restore prompt normally, you cant
get anywhere normally and you can lose data.

> whatsoever not to use it in favor of a shutdown/startup sequence.

If Windows worked as it is supposed to, we wouldn't need a firewall, too.

"If Windows worked as it is supposed to, we wouldn't need a firewall, too."

Shows how much you know. A firewall is protection against threats coming
from a network, not Windows.

Yeah, that one made me laugh too.
