Computer Won't Hibernate?

[liljpy]

Hello all, this is my first post ever on this forum. I hope this will be a learning experience. And i hope to maybe help others with their problems as well. My problem is that i have xp pro and when i attemp to put the pc in hibernate mode, it would go to standby as usual, but when i go to reactivate it, the pc will either automatically restart, or do nothing at all. Then i get an error message saying the pc has recovered from a serious error.....blah blah blah. I had 98se and did a fresh install(reformat to ntfs and all). I DID have this prob in 98. However, 98 did not allow me the use of a screensaver or auto monitor off. Those two options work now on xp. Any thoughts?

Set all your power options to "stay on". Powering down is hard on the drives. Also, disable screensaver. Screensavers are not needed and also cause unnecessary stress.
