Was fine before, but now I'm having a problem where my computer seems to still be running when I select hibernate. The monitor, mouse and keyboard power off, yet the PC still runs, with the occasional blink of hard drive activinty from the HD light on the case. The only way to turn it off is to manually hold down the power button. It seems to be completely sporadic- sometimes it hibernates successfully, sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone know what can cause this? No Usb devices attahced apart from keyboard and mouse, which were there before problem. Not 100%, but MIGHT have started when I installed itunes on the computer?...

It might be going to Hybrid Sleep where it saves the RAM to the HDD (like in Hibernating) but still keeps refreshing the RAM (like in Sleep). It takes a while to write 4GB of data to the HDD. On my PC, 8GB takes a few minutes.
Sleep does the same thing-again its not all the time but its common. What settings should I have in the bios with regard to power settings?- ACPI, suspend mode (S1, S2, auto), etc?
ACPI enabled, S3 suspend, S5 based stuff disabled. Hard to say without having the settings in front of me! Just check nothing's a bit crazy.
ok now it's blue screening with power_state_driver_failure.....BACKTRACK! I have the following settings in my bios of Biostar Tpower I45 APIC ACPI SCI IRQ: Enabled USB Dev. Wake up from S3/S4: Disabled High Performance Event Timer: Disabled Resume on PME#: Disabled Resume on RTC alarm: Disabled Active state power management: Disabled Suspend mode: S3 (/S1/auto) Repost Video on S3 Resume: No ACPI Version Features: ACPI v1.0 (/2.0/3.0) ACPI APIC support: Enabled AMI OEMB table: Enabled Headless mode: disabled Anything that should be changed here?
This one? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms795679.aspx Sounds like a bad driver which doesn't want to go to standby. Have you installed any new devices, or low-level programs (ATITool, SpeedFan, etc.) lately?
