hibernation issue

[maxxLogan]

occasionally when resuming after hibernation, I have no system beep, bios image, or any other display activity. Lights on the case come on (as does the optical drive light which unnaturally remains lit during these rare instances) so I know the power switch is working, the cpu and case fans come on also.

Only consistent way to successfully boot the machine after this has happened is to remove power plug and drain capacitors by holding the power button for 10 seconds or so.

Any ideas for troubleshooting?

There is a bug with hibernation in Windows 7. The best thing I could find to do was to disable it in poer saving settings. Since I disabled it I haven't had any problems. Sleep works fine.

thanks. Hope Microsoft gets it fixed soon so we don't have to worry about lost data.

It's been a bug since the first beta. Rumor has it they will fix it in SP 1.
