Did Hibernation Kill My PC? Not POSTing...

Hi,

Sleep mode's been working fine all along, but decided to give hibernate a try on my old PC.

It powered down just fine, without any error messages whatsoever (the monitor went into standby mode afterwards - normal).

After I woke up, the monitor was on, displaying a BLUE screen (a lighter shade than that of a BSOD), without any text.

I've tried multiple power cycles, pulling the plug from the PSU (for hours), making sure all connections are seated, CPU is bolted down via its HSF (via bolt-through kit), CMOS reset via button/ battery pull, etc., but to no avail.

The PC will simply power on (HSF at full fan speed, video card fan ramps up for a second then dies down), but nothing will show on-screen. It just displays "no signal/ power saving mode". No Windows startup sound, either. Randomly mashing F8/ del won't do anything.

Setup is as follows:
Win7 Ultimate 64
Intel E4300
MSI P6N SLI-FI
eVGA 8800 GTS 640
Seasonic S12 550w

Couldn't find much info on Google as well on this.

Any thoughts, people?

Appreciate the input.

Windows 7 handles powersave/hybernation very strangely.

Try going into your BIOS and go to Power Management. You should see Suspend Type. Set this to S1 (POS). Hit F10 to Save Changes and Exit.
