CPU Usage At 100% , After Waking From Hibernation
Mar 23, 2008
I'm completely confused on this issue and I've baffled people at Dell, which from experience isn't hard to do. I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Vista Home Basic as the OS. My CPU usage bumps between 10% and 44% after I first start up my computer. And when I allow my computer to sleep and then wake it up, it runs at 100% constantly. I've tried stopping programs from running in MSCONFIG, I've ran Ad-Aware 2007, Spyware, Registry Cleaner and McAfee Virus scan. Nothing has corrected this problem and the programs have cleaned off a few items, but still nothing has changed. I tried checking the Reliability and Performance Monitor and I'm not educated enough in computers to know what I'm looking at. Dell thinks I should reinstall my OS and start over, but I don't want to do this unless it's the last possible recourse.

My computer used to go to sleep but recently I've changed some settings and downloaded some new things and now everytime it goes to sleep it immediately wakes back up. Last night when it did hibernate I could not get the computer to come back on. I had to take the battery out of my laptop and put it back in to get it to start. The only way I can get my computer to hibernate now is to lock my computer first. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I turned off the sidebar, and have closed all programs and that doesn't help. There was something I found online last night about the network card and now allowing it to wake the computer. That's already been done (sorry I'm not a computer person lol this probably makes no sense to you).

Vista takes some time to wake from hibernation (2-3 minutes, before my wireless network is detected and browser is usable, say). To not waste my time staring at the screen, I hit the power button, leave the computer, and come back when all systems are running. However, by the time I've returned in maybe 5 mins, the laptop (Thinkpad T61) is back in hibernation mode. It seems like without any keyboard or trackpad input, the computer simply returns to hibernate. how to configure Vista to remain on without this keyboard input? I don't see any options in my power settings (in advanced as well). I also don't require a password upon wakeup, so I can go directly to my desktop.

since a few days my cpu has always cpu load of about 90 % at core 2. Vista is very slow. Taskmanager shows no applications with cpu usage. Now i installed process explorer and i can see that 45% cpu usage (this is 90% of core 2) is for "System / hardware interrupts". Which interrupts are the problem, what can i do to fix this?

I just completed updating a system doing a clean install of XP and then updating to VISTA Home Premium. Everything works OK except I have one problem. After some period of time the system either goes to sleep or hibernates - don't know which. I thought I set the power properties so as to turn the monitor off after 20 minutes but to leave the system on. My question is - How do I get the system to "wake up" after it either goes
to sleep or hibernates. Moving the mouse and pressing the start button does nothing.

My pc seems to wake up on it's own at 7 am every day. It used to wake up at 10 am but somehow changed to 7 am. I checked all of the things listed on the first page here Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems, and I have nothing enabled to wake up the pc nor do I have any tasks scheduled for that time each morning. It stopped for a while and out of nowhere it started again at 7 AM. I also checked all of the wake on link settings and they are disabled as well. Wait for link however is set to auto detect... not sure what that means but i dont think that has anything to do with the random wakeups.

I'm having some trouble trying to get my PC to lock up when it comes out of "sleep" mode. It also does not go into the Screen Saver anymore it just goes straight to "turn off display" and then it doesnt lock up the PC when it "wakes up". I am guessing this is an interface problem or maybe a registry problem.

I'm trying to find out why my computer keeps waking up from sleep. Unfortunately I've not been able to track this down. I leave the house around 9am, don't get back home till 8pm, and the computer has turned on while I've been at work. My fiancee can't ever remember to check right when she gets home to see if it's on then or not, so I have no other time frame to deal with at the moment except for what happened today.

I have an Acer Aspire 5100 that came installed with Vista Home Premium. I upgraded to SP1 and, after upgrading to 4 gigs of ram i learned because Acer messed up video addressing, i can only get 2.96gb when i'm using 64mb of ram for video...increasing the amount makes the amount of ram to windows drop exponetally (at 256mb i've only got 2 gigs..it's wasting almost half the ram)...but that's not my issue..i'll never get it resolved becuase Acer is none-too-interested in actually doing anything to fix it and telling me it's "my problem". Oh well.
I do have a strange issue. When I take my laptop out I generally put it to sleep...I don't like hibernate..it's never worked for me in the past and sleep is just so much faster and convient. The sleep mode has worked surprisingly well for me, but i'm notcing a strange oddity. Every once in a while after bringing the laptop out of sleep mode...the screen will come on...but then it'll flicker out. If i can manage to click on the password prompt before it turns off and enter my password, the screen will come back on after the session logs in...however most of the time I have to put it back to sleep and wake it back up.
this really isn't a major major problem..i know nothing is going to work flawlessly all the time. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior and if they fixed it, what they did to do so. I can live with it, but it'd be nice to see it gone too, ya know? Other than that...and the time the kernel-driver framework driver died...I'm quite impressed with Vista..it's turning out to be a rather usable OS.

I am running vista home premium on a dell 530 and have just had to restore factory settings due to my user account being corrupted. I have reinstalled all my software and now have realised that it is doing what It has done before in the five months I have had it (after restore to factory settings) which is waking from sleep on it's own. I did find a solution to this on a forum which is to go to device manager / network adapter / intel.... / properties / power management / wake from LAN and uncheck the first two settings "wake on directed packet" and "wake on magic packet". Now as this solves the problem I am confused as to why my "factory settings" have it checked???? Now, immediately after closing the properties window I got a dialogue box saying that a new private network has been detected with a highlighted option to call it local network2... this freaked me out as I have not connected anything to even remotely act as another network and further more there was an ip address in the bar at the top of the dialogue box which I noted (169.254.175.32/255.255.0.0) I would just like to know if this is behaviour of a virus of some sort or something normal beyond my understanding.

I have a new HP Pavilion dv-4 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit. When I try to
restart from hibernating, I receive a fatal error message the computer can't come out
of hibernation. I tried to disable hibernation and delete the hiberfil.sys file through the Disk Cleanup application. After it was run, the Hibernate option disappeared from
the shutdown menu but hyberfil.sys was not deleted. I deleted hiberfil.sys from
the command prompt and then ran powercfg -h on which recreated hiberfil.sys and restored Hibernate to the shut-down menu - but it still fails when I try to come out of hibernation. I have RollBack RX installed on the system and I wonder if this is causing the problem.

Was having a strange network problem after computer woke from hibernation; it did not happen before Service Pack 1 and never happened with XP. The problem was the internet connection would time out, partially load pages, and generally stumble & fail after resuming from sleep or hibernation. I went into Task Manager and grabbed this screenshot of the network throughput:
The green is throughput, it goes from 100% to 0%, it is apparent the computer was turning the connection "on" and "off" at regular intervals.
My network card is an Intel Pro 100/1000 built into my Abit IC7-G motherboard.
The problem was apparently the sleep mode setting on the card itself; there were no settings available for sleep mode, etc on the card using the default Vista drivers, but after installing the updated/specific drivers from Abit I was able to go into the Device Manager and there was another properties page (with Intel logo) that allowed me to disable sleep mode for the network card. That seems to have fixed it, I have not had the problem again in over a week.

On my previous Vista HP computer, after not using the bubbles screensaver, I was able to use the hibernate function. On this new computer I cannot get hibernate to to work. I set it for no screen saver and there are no different programs running, so why am I not able to get hibernate to work? I have the power features set for hibernate but when I click the Sleep it only goes to sleep for a minute or so and then the blue light is back on.

Ever since getting the Hibernation feature functioning on my machine about a month ago I've noticed a very peculiar problem with the machine waking up on its own, usually when I'm not around, and I need to know how to stop it. It usually happens after the PC has been powered down for several hours. Today I had put it into Hibernation and then went out, and several hours later when I got home the thing was on, apparently having turned on by itself.

Windows Vista home premium with SP2 and later fixes installed. No apparent malware detected by Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebyte, spybot. Hibernation is turned on. Checked all devices to ensure none have the "wake on" feature activated. When I select hibernate, the screen goes black for a few seconds then the logon menu is presented. Hibernation never occurs.

You know how when you go to your shut down settings on the menu bar, they say sleep, shut down, and hibernate? Yeah, well, my hibernate button disappeared. How do I get it back?

I was going to do use Disk Cleanup to clear some of the clutter from my computer but was not sure what all to put a check mark on. There was one file in particular "Hibernation File Cleaner" that had 3.24GB of stuff in it. What is that folder, why is it storing so much stuff in it, and is it safe to "Clean" it?

A while back, I had a power failure. My machine is on a UPS and when the battery got low, it started to hibernate. I think the UPS must have failed all the way before the hibernation finished. I don't know this for sure because I was away from my computer when this happened. When I got back and powered up the machine, it would start to come out of hibernation and then freeze. I found out how to delete the hibernation data so that the computer would start normally, but ever since then the computer will freeze after it's been running for about 45 minutes or so. It's hard to say for sure because it will run fine as long as it's busy doing something, but if I let it sit idle, it will freeze after awhile. I've looked in the event viewer after restarting, but I don't see anything except routine messages. Is there some specific place I can look to figure out what's happening? I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 on an ASUS A8V Deluxe w/ an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ and 2 GB of memory.

Very often, my computer will restart during hibernation. Occasionally, after the restart it will give me an error message to the effect of "Windows had to shut down unexpectedly...". Very occasionally, it will tell me it was a hard drive error associated with hibernation.

I have Vista set to sleep after 1 hour, and then hibernate on the 2nd hour. That works fine, and it comes of of sleep & hibernation just fine, as well. I have Vista set to ask for a password when it comes out of hibernation. However, upon coming out of hibernation, it displays the password screen for all of 10-20 seconds. If I don't put in my password in that amount of time, Vista goes back into hibernation mode.

When I put my computer into Hibernate sometimes it will stay that way (all night), but, other times, with nothing changed from the night before, it will be Awake in the morning. What should I do to have Hibernate work all night every night?

What I would like is to be able to tell Vista to wait a longer than just a handful of seconds before dropping back into hibernation.

I know about powercfg -h on. It doesn't work. Disk cleanup deleted the hibernation file, now when I put that line in the command prompt it tells me: "Hibernation failed with the following error: Access is denied. The following items are preventing hibernation on this system. The system could not create the hibernation file. The specific error code is 0xc0000022."I am an admin account, running the cmd.exe as an admin. Doing this in safe mode produces a different error which I can post if you want (along the lines of a VGAsave). There are no options in the control panel remotely relating to hibernation. Is there any alternate way to enable hibernation or to get the powercfg tool to work as it is intended?
