Hibernation Issues!!!!

[Andyiz]

Dear Friends,
I have been hibernating my PC for quite a while now
Recently i heard comments that doing so affects the overall performance of the PC.
How True is that??????

[rajas700]

Ya hibernating suck's ur RAM.Because all the thing were stored in RAM when u hibernating .so dont do it offten....

[Netjunkie]

Well, that is only a myth. Infact hibernation is recommended for Laptops. You can safely continue using it.

[alib_i]

this is the 2nd time i'm seeing that comment !!
Hibernation doesnt store data in RAM ... who told you so ?
It stores the data in a file called hiberfil.sys on the harddisk

its really good doesnt do anything...if it harmed ur system dya think microsoft will put it as a normal option and take the risk of getting sued..

but once in a while, you should shutdown cuz it kinda 'refreshes' ur pc...like after u install lotsa stuff n all, jus shutdown or restart

[::cyborg::]

nice

I agree with alibi and ishaan. Actually while hibernating ur PC, the system stores whatever data is there in RAM to a file hiberfil.sys, that's why size of this file is exactly equal to the RAM in ur PC. During shutdown, the OS "SAVES" everything, i mean the settings and changes u made in the system. So once a while u shud use shutdown also. A word of caution(my experience)....once i hibernated my system and took my HDD to a friend and copied a couple of movies. When i switched back, i cudn't find those movies. It occurred bcoz system tries to get into original(previous) state after hibernation. Please correct me if I am wrong on this. Otherwise, hibernation is cool option...

[Andyiz]

Tnx for such gr8 suggesstions.

I usually logout windows and then hibernate my pc, so >> no programs are running > less RAM content stored > my pc works just perfect with that

Ok now, i have a problem with my pc. When ever i switch on my pc and do nothing, the system automatically gets hibernated. I have enabled hybernation in power settings but system hibernate is set to "never" in the power schemes.. What may be the porblem ????

What the hell do you mean?? Do you know anything about hibernation??


No, hibernation does not affect the computer performance..... It is not necessary to Shutdown or Restart until some of your programs request you to (Eg. after installing or upgrading some programs)...........

This will make the computer faster to start..........

Yes this has happened to me too...... If you copied some files to HDD from another OS and if you realize that the the computer was hibernated, you can cancel resuming Windows and choose Delete Restoration and perform System Restart.......... You may also install a file recovery application such as PCI File Recovery and look into the drive............

Thnx every1 for correctin rajas700. i was shocked to read his reply as i vrey rarely shutdown my pc. i like hibernating. usually i shutdown when i'm installing any s/w

hop hibernmating isnt harmful

[choudang]

HIbernation is not harmful. i go for it usually. when i installed something.. i do a restart and goes on... but hibernation required 239MB of space...

At times i face a problem after resuming from hibernation. It shows "Out of frequency" But this error is from my monitor and not winXP. I have a LG 15" monitor. And when it shows out of frequency, it starts a count down from 30 (or 20) seconds. If i hit escape key, i can resume and if i dont hit escape, i have to make a hard reboot.

[nirubhai]

well... hibernation may be good. but when i use standby feature and resume, the mouse scroll does not work in some windows. especially in VB6 IDE. and i have to restart.
so just to be curious, can anybody tell me if they experience any such problems after hibernation?

[nitish_mythology]

My mouse stops responding after I resume from hibernation!! What to do?????

[alib_i]

If you have a USB Mouse ... visit the Microsoft's KB for this

[nirubhai]

well..... u did not get it completly... the link you gave solves problem "Your Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) When You Try to Bring It out of Standby or out of Hibernation by Using a USB Device"

but i don't have usb mouse! still when i come out of standby using 'Power' button or resume hibernated windows session, i can not scroll in any window. i just confirmed that.

[alib_i]

ughh .. my post was directed towards nitish_mythology ..
sorry for not making it clear ..

Thats utterly wrong .. Hibernition doesnt in any way affect your RAM's health .. Infact its better for power optimization techniques .. I usually reboots my system when I have to plug someone else's hard drive in my computer .. I have had an uptime of around 49 days with hibernition ..

[ashnik]

hey guys i enabled hibernation today, but it does not show up the button for it. help.
i have xp pro with SP2

[vijay_7287]

^^

press shift and u will find tht the standby button becomes hibernate

u can also set the power button to on the cabinet thtis,

to hibernate as soon as u press it

u can enable this in the power options !!!

[nirubhai]

@alib_i
oh, fine...

can anyone please solve my scroll issue? i did not had much help with google.

[nitish_mythology]

I use a serial mouse,so do I have to just sit back with a problem that has no solutions.I hope there would be one

[nirubhai]

hard luck for us??
where are all those members? who were saying hibernation is good & blah blah blah....
i want to use hibernation but i can't do without scroll!

[agnels]

Have anybody noticed that if you connect to the net using dial up after hibernation you will get connected to the net at a lower speed
40 KB/s instead of 45.2 KB/s
