| 368696 | 2005-07-02 13:03:00 | HI I just got my new computer.A 3ghz pentium with windows xp service pack 2 I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. In my keyboard there is a sleep button which is also known as the standby button.The problem is after the computer is in standby mode.I can't seem to wake my computer up. I push the power button on the computer after it goes to standy.The computer makes a fan noise which kinda means its the unstandby buttom.However my monitor,keyboard,mouse and the wireless receiver isnt responding.The monitor still doen't display anything and the wireless receiver seems to be off as well. I went to the display settings in control panel and under the settings there I have set it so that the computer will ask me what to do after i push the power button when im on standy mode but that doesn't work. Another question is.What is hibernate?How do I use it?I've already set it so that the computer allocates harddrive space for it. Can anyone please help? Thanks |

Hibernation is when the entire contents of RAM are coppied to the hard disc: The computer then shuts down. On waking from Hibernation it is all copied back, so you can continue from where you left off. It is faster than startup. I use it ALL the time. I only restart my computer 2 or 3 times a week, or less. I have 17 programs running; 64 processes. In the morning they will all be up and running in less than a minute. :thumbs: |

| 368699 | 2005-07-02 20:47:00 | Or turn it off altogether. I've found this is a right pain on a lot of PCs. If you leave the PC for a short time, don't worry about it, if for any length of time shut it down instead. | pctek (84) | ||
| 368700 | 2005-07-02 21:46:00 | Using my wireless keyboard I press the sleep button to send it to sleep and press the sleep button once more to wake the computer up again. Have you tried this? |

Ah yes but once the computer goes to standby mode the receiver switches off so thats not good. I will try the bios thing a bit later during the day Thanks |

| 368702 | 2005-07-03 02:41:00 | Standby and Hibernation modes are really only optimised for Laptop hardware. Not always successfully then either If it works OK and reliably on desktop hardware, thats fine and good. If it doesn't then often nothing can be done, some hardware is just not designed to reliably support it. My experience is that a lot of software also runs somewhat unreliably after a standby or hibernation resume, so I simply avoid both in the inetrests of reliability. |
