When I place my pc in hibernation, it will not complete. When I try to manually do it following microsoft directions, I goes and then pc restarts.
I am trying to use hibernation to save power bill when not it use, without turning it off.
Any suggestions, as I am only a beginner.

Hello arcedison and Welcome to the Forum!

What Operating System are you using?

Is this a new problem, perhaps just starting after a new program or hardware component was installed?

Our talented Tech staff and helpful members will certainly be able to help you!

Thanks for your patience!

I found this in my wanderings around the web, I cannot remember where exactly so cannot give due credit.

This should work for you...

In my little book, (Vista OS) it says that if your PC goes to sleep then immediately wakes up it could be a USB device. Try unplugging them 1 at a time until you find the one responsible. Try it in a different port then in devicemanager-find the device listed, right click it, choose properties,power management then uncheck 'allow this device to wake computer'

Hello,

Personally I have found that hibernation is not something you want to be using. There is a chance your computer will lock up on you.
If you really want to safe power it would just be better to turn the computer off.
