| 501749 | 2006-11-24 09:20:00 | Since re-installing my Windows XP Home SP2 on Intel Pentium 4 2.53 MHz, 1GB RAM, 120 GB harddrive computer I can not get it to hibernate. This is enabled but when clicked to hibernate I get the dreaded blue screen saying DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Then some technical stuff Any idea how to fix? Thanks. |

Video, motherboard chipset, modem, lan adapter etc. The wrong drivers or the default Windows drivers will prevent hibernation. Laptop hardware and drivers are designed to support the mode, desktop hardware and drivers *might* (and sometimes do) work when the moon is right and the drivers are perfect. The mode was not really designed for desktop hardware, not sure if you are desktop or laptop though it sounds like a desktop? In my experience reliability (in terms of crashes) is often poor on desktops after hibernation, until a cold boot is done. |
