Computer Automatically Wakes Up During Hibernation
Jan 18, 2009
I have had this problem for a long time. Every time I put my computer on Hibernation mode, it automatically wakes up after a random period of time, sometimes ten minutes to half and hour or sometimes only thirty seconds. I tried everything: unplugging my mouse, keyboard, Ethernet cable from my computer during Hibernation, and it still wakes up. Stand By mode also affected. This started to happen about one year ago (my computer is two years old). I have asked this question many times at other places, and the most common answer I got is: "your computer is possessed" NOT IT'S NOT

Every time you open an program or window in my wife's computer it immediately goes into hibernation mode. You can then go back into window/program out of hibernation, but then it immedaietly returns to hibernation.

I have a computer with windows xp on it and i set it so that after 2 hours of inactivity it would turn off the monitor. well i went to bed that night and when i woke up i went to go onto my computer. But, the monitor wouldnt turn on. i thought it was the monitor at first, but i just realized its the computer. i plugged in my old computer which im on now and the monitor works fine.

Would like to know how to get the computer out of apparent hibernation after my granddaughter logs off. I set up an account so she can have her own screen saver and other things kids like. But when she leaves and I log her off, the window goes totally black. The only way I have been able to get rid of it is to do a cold shutdown and I hate doing this.I cannot find out any info in the Help files as I always try to find the information first but know you all are so great at things, here I am asking help again.

Have a relatively new J & N custom computer running Win XP-SP3. Has an Intel Core Duo E8400 CPU on an Intel mobo with onboard sound and video. 2GB RAM. Two weeks or so ago, after fooling around with some services (unchecking ones I didn't think I needed), the computer started doing something strange: When you bring it out of hibernation (not standby -- full hibernation), it comes back alive for maybe 20 seconds, looks and works normally.

I recently stripped the cord running from my USB mouse to the computer on accident, so until i get a new mouse I use the keyboard only for now. I was attempting to switch users by hitting the windows key and going to switch users, when I accidentally hit Hibernate. The computer went into hibernation and NOTHING I do will bring it out, the fan is still running, the monitor shuts itself off and will not show anything when I reboot the computer or try anything else. Ive tried many ways to restart the computer and bring it back out but I've had no luck, as of right now I'm using my parents computer until I can get my own running again.

I am having trouble with my computer. Every time I start it up or try to bring it out of hibernation, it takes almost a half hour to start. Once it does start up everything runs just fine. It also has no trouble shutting done, the problem is just with the initial start-up. I will press the button to turn my computer on and the lights will come on but it takes forever for my password screen to pop up. I have been searching for possible solutions but have not found anything that helps. Here are a few things that i tried

When I switch on the main power, the computers starts automatically ie. without switching the CPU. The following message is displayed on the screen 'CMOS settings wrong.Press F1 to restore defaults and continue' Upon pressing F1 the machine starts. I do'nt know how to set CMOS settings right Time/Date settings change automatically.
I cannot install any software.Messages like file missing.Cannot open installer pkg.Contact your vendor etc. I do'nt have the installation cs availablewith me.However when I try to repair/reinstall with the help of my other win xp cd, i get the message 'key no. is wrong.I cannot format the c: drive from within.

I had a bad virus on my computer and I wanted to boot it into safe mode. So I tried and everytime I tried it wouldn't work. I kept getting this message on a blue screen saying my video driver failed to initialize and it shut down automatically but it would boot up normal if I didn't try to go into safe mode.So I read that you could set your computer to automatically boot into safe mode from msconfig so I went in and set it to boot into safe mode automatically every time I powered up. So I turned off my computer and tried to.No matter what I do, no matter what option I select the blue screen with the error about my video driver comes up and it shuts down automatically.

I am running a computer on Windows XP originally designed for Windows 98. Once I put it on there everytime I go to shutdown the computer will say "It is safe to turn off your computer" and I have to shut it down manually by the power button. The older operating systems would shut down automatically when I went to shut down but for some reason XP won't on this computer. How can I make the computer shutdown automatically?

This one is for all you gamers who LOVE to LAN. It is much faster than finding an ip on the server, then typing in that longwinded address, and hoping your fingers didn't slip. Anyway, all you have to do is type the name of the computer you want to connect to in the "ip" place of any game. Your computer will automatically detect its ip, and you're ready to play!This will only work if you are playing across a private network and not across the internet.

I've got a laptop with windows XP. About a half hour ago, it shut itself off. When I tried to restart it, I got the error window that explains something went wrong, and offers to start it in normal mode or safe mode. I select normal mode, it'll show the loading screen, then shut itself off. Rinse, repeat, same result. This laptop is about 3 1/2 years old.

. When I choose to shutdown, it tells me it's shutting down but then restarts. It gave me the option to go back to the last settings that worked, which solved the problem for a little while. Then it started doing it again, and I have no idea why it keeps restarting.

i'm currently using XP Powertoy to automate the login process of my PC.
I've entered my Domain username and password so that everytime when the PC
boots up it will automatically log me on. The problem that i'm having is that
if there's a power failure and the PC boots up when i'm not there , others
will have access to my files and folders. Is there any way to automatically
lock the PC after the logon process.

My computer crashes and restarts. it will automatically restart itself after around five to fifteen minutes of usage.I think it might be a video card setting or driver problem. ran devmgmt.msc and there is an unknown device under imaging devices.

Recently, I began having problems when I chose to go into standby. Hard drive just shut off. After several tech discussions with Dell, the computer now just shuts down on its own when I leave it unattended for any length of time. Dell asked me to uninstall/reinstall Windows XP. I am trying to avoid this because it is a lot of work to back up all of my files. I could try prior to doing uninstall/reinstall?
