Vista x64 Hibernate Button Issues?

Well, more just a single issue, actually.

When I click the left power button in the start menu (the yellow one), it's supposed to "hibernate" my machine, rather than doing a full shutdown. [My work machine does the same thing.]

How I got to here:
- Bought the machine from CyberPower;
- Disassembled it (it was bought April '08);
- Reseated the HSU using new thermal compound;
- Reassembled it;
- OCd the CPU to 3.8 Ghz.

The machine runs stable, never exceeding 45-deg C using RealTemp.

Anyway, now, when I click the left power button in the start menu, the machine will go into hibernate mode, then the HSU fan and other fans kick up into high gear, then stop, and the machine comes back up from hibernate.

I now need to do a full shut down (using the right arrow menu shut down option) each time I want to turn the machine off.

Thoughts? Ideas? Something incorrectly connected somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Hi rhitrix and welcome to Vista Forums

Have a look at the following Tutorial http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/68146-power-button.html

Apparently, following the tutorial, the Hibernate option wasn't even turned on.

I've now turned that feature on.

Evidently, what I was doing was just putting my machine into Sleep mode. When I do that, my computer's fans ramp up, then the machine comes out of Sleep itself a few seconds later.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

check if your motherboard has suspend mode S3 enabled. That did it for me.

Best,
