Hibernation

[D.Arbib]

XP pro/SP2, A8N-SLI with AMD 64bit 4000+, nvidia 68OOGT Audigy 2 ZS platinum.

I can enter Hibernation normally in Windows Task Manager and system Hibernates

OK. But on re-booting BIOS setup starts normally and recovery bar runs, but then system stalls completely and I have to effect a hard turn off and reboot.

I then get an announcement:

The last attempt to restart the system from its previous location failed. Attempt to restart again?

1. Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot

2. Continue with restart

If I, then normal boot, but notification the the System has recovered from a serious error. And Microsoft feedback suggests a driver error,

If 2. Goes back to the above announcement

Standby is OK

I have re-installed the nVidia video driver

Any help gratefully accepted.

Have you tried using an older version of your video drivers?

Have you checked that all your drivers are up to date?

Have you changed any hardware, and have you tested what's in there? The hibernation process is very low-level and won't check to see if anything's changed or stopped working, which will usually throw it off and crash the system.
