I use hibernate instead of shutting down XP each time, and I find that the TR sometimes immediately goes back into hibernation when I power it up from hibernate.  It gets to the XP logon screen and immediately hibernates again. :?

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Thanks,

so funny your posting this.  i have been meaning to post about this for weeks but i keep forgetting to post it.  i get this from hibernation and also from coming out of standy by it wants to go into hibernation

very strange and bothersome

Tha’s a strange a problem indeed. I wonder if there’s something else going on. Did you check the event manager to see if there’s something causing it to initiate a shutdown? I wonder if it’s something with TR2s? Any TR1 users having this problem? I haven’t but I’m curious.

Well, I have seen this on my TR1MP.  I first seen it after installing a trial version of AquariusSoft’s Alarm clock.  This program plays sounds and music at specified times and is capable of waking the computer out of hibernation or standby to play the sound.  After playing the sound it can then be sent automatically back into hibernation or standby.  And sometimes when I powered on after this program had sent it into hibernation it would hibernate again immediately as described above. Turning it on again and it would start OK.

I’ve uninstalled this now and I think I’ve seen it once since but that may have been a low battery situation.  I’ll keep an eye out for it again.  Though I must say it is only very occasionally and I use hibernate all the time.

One thought that springs to mind is that do you always go into hibernate the same way and does it always behave the same.  Try doing it through Fn+F12, closing lid whilst using batteries, hibernating via Shut Down option on Start menu.  And see if it is the same for each method.

oops..forgot to login.  :oops:

yea there’s a solution. 

don’t fold your computer monitor so fast.

if you do, it’ll send your computer into standby before it recognizes the hibernation command.  wait until the computer starts to write from ram—> disk before folding down your monitor.  I’ve never had that issue ever again.

safety wise, i believe the hibernation and off feature is the same.  The only difference is that hibernation is writing down all the ram onto the hd so you can restart back at that very same state.  shutting the computer completely off every so often does allow the computer to rid itself of any junk that’s stuck in your ram.  In addition,  I don’t think memory leak is much of an issue as it was back in windows 95

I’ve had the same problem and I think folding the screen down to soon is the cause. I have set the poweron button to hybernate and sometimes I fold the screen down too soon. I think this sends two commands to hybernate to the system so when you restore, it resumes the second command. One way to change this is to change the setting so that the computer doesn’t hybernate when you close the screen.  Hope this helps.

Yeah I’ve have set my screen closing to do nothing and my power button to hibernate and I’ve never had any of the issues above (fingers crossed!)
