hibernate & stand by

MadBulgarian · Oct 23, 2006

I just purchased a new PC and when I click on my options to shut down my comp I can only completely turn off or restart, my option to stand by or hibernate is greyed out and I cant click it

Does anyone know how I can make this function work? Thanks

Check Control Panel/Power Options/Hibernate tab and see if it's checked.

On my Dell, if I hit the shift key, the "Standby" button changes to "Hibernate". Did you try that?

Contact the tech department of the company that made your PC.

They will guide you if the suggestions here have not worked.

I suspect you don't have enable the hibernate nor the standby feature.

Click on the Hibernate Tab and then click Enable Hibernation

On my system that's password protected...

If I go into hibernation...to start it back up again I need to input my password.

However, if I go into standby...to start it back up again I don't need to input the password.

I'm sure there's other differences but that's what I know off the top of my head.
