Vista will not hybernate.

I have tried many things, but when I setp away from the comp, it will go thru all the processes up to but not including hybernate. It will screensave and virus check, then it will turn the monitor off after about 10 minutes, but it will not sleep when it is supposed to.

Screensaver :1 hour
Turn off monitor :65 minutes
Sleep: 70 minutes :sleep=hybernate, i turned it on in options.

Why will it not hybernate???????
 
Probably a misbehaving service or driver of some kind. Got iTunes? That was holding up my girlfriend's computer from sleeping until the most recent version.
 
I would assign hibernate to your power button, try it, and if it fails, check the event log for an error. Post that error here. If it works, we've got something else going on...
 
Has it ever worked?

How about setting screensaver, turn off monitor and hd sleep to zero and hibernate to a couple of minutes with 'nothing' running. Does it work then?

Does the the normal S3 sleep work? I believe the bios needs to configured for S3.

Just out of curiosity, why hibernate instead of S3? Hibernate takes longer to wake up.
 
I do not know hwo to set it for S3 in vista. But, just an update, hard drives stay on as well, nothing changes with my comp except the screen is off.

Hybernate to spower button: works, everything except, me getting up and walking away from the computer works. I can manually put it to sleep.

I find it hard to believe its a process or application, Its a brand new install, there is nothing on it but vista. My Xp sleeps just fine. Like right now, i just woke up, and my comp's hard drives still making a bit of noise (nothign serious) but, they have ot go to sleep, i need ot figure this out.
 
Vista has very good power state logging built in. In Event Viewer, check under Applications and Services logs\Microsoft\Windows\Diagnostics-Performance\Operational and see if you can find events that show what is preventing the machine from hibernating.
 
I found nothing, this is rediculous, Here, I am going to post some pics of my settings.

could this have something to do with VSS? i did find this.
 
Put the system to sleep and the system completly failed. Would not boot, would not reboot, had to unplug power and ten replug it in to make it post. Then upon entering vista, I can not open the event veiwer, will simply not open. What the hell is going on here.
 
OK, here is a log of a warning that happened while shutting down.

I would still use orthos as a sanity check - it stresses more than just ram - a few minutes is usually sufficient. I also find speedfan quite useful. It displays temps, fan speeds, etc. and a nice little bar graph of cpu activity - all on one small panel. It needs to be run with sys admin rights (right click) in Vista. It also records the sleep and wake events. Voltage readings should be ignored.

S3 is just one of several levels defined in the ACPI spec. which describes pc power states. In the bios, you might see this referred to as STR (StandbyToRam). Windows uses the setting when it sleeps. Hibernate does a 'standby' to disk which is why it takes longer to wake up.

There are lots of conditions that Windows has to consider when deciding if it's appropriate to put the pc to sleep. Vista has many more user configurable settings than XP. Vista also seems to have more processes running than XP - indexing, etc. The disk on my Vista installation seems to be quite busy. The sleep functionality works most of time for me - on w2k, xp and Vista. Sometimes it doesn't but this happens (or doesn't happen) so rarely that I haven't tried to determine the exact conditions. I've never used the hibernate setting since I discovered that Windows requires an extra 2gb (total ram) of disk space. In Vista, this disk space seems to be consumed whether hibernate is enabled or not - something I'll look into eventually.

Is hibernate enabled on the XP system that works correctly? Did you try disabling hibernate in Vista?

There do seem to be more problems with the pc that just sleeping though - try a different malware scanner? Also, when many peculiar things start happening, I start diagnosing with the resetting of the bios.

In the event log, "1 user registry handles leaked..." looks suspect but don't know the significance of this.

What is VSS?
 
whats a good malware scanner, I use all those things, speedfan, orthos, prime, etc etc. ATM using avast virus.
 
Oh, didn't mean to offend - experience level is difficult to determine online. What do you use to stress the GPU? anything free and not cumbersome? Reading the orthos website recently, I discovered that it's based on Prime95 - so I stopped doing both.

I'm currently using Comodo firewall and AntiVir (free) on a w2k pc. I can't say if it's good or not - how does one ever really know with rootkits, keyloggers, etc? I tried installing AVG but it's complaining about a bug in Roxio Easy CD Creator which, curiously, is not installed.

Anyway, not being an expert on anti-virus, I'd check the Security Forum. I have heard good thing about the latest, non-free NOD.

Ah man, no worries, please. You have never done anything but help me.. Anyways, here is some more stuff I found. Check this pic out, is this normal? note the time stamps. screeny

Also, the weirdness continues, while playing doom 3, the system will occasionally beep, not the normal beep of post goodness, but the low sounding one we all know and love from the old days, when PC speakers were much more basic (still are, but some cases pack a better one).

Also, I found thisL

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: WinMgmt
Event Category: None

Description:
A provider, HiPerfCooker_v1, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\WMI, to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests.

Now, go figure, i found nothing on this new, but all kind of stuff dated all the way back to 2002. And appearently, even then, nobody knew what it was. Yet, the same error, I got.

SOOOOOooooooo, I am a bit stumped. All this is currently coming from XP. The Vista boot has different issues. Everything seems to be running fine though now, as XP has no trouble sleeping or hybernatng. I just want to play with my stuff, and deal with the vista part tomorrow. Any more info would be great.

At the moment, I have Avast and Ad Aware running together in XP, Only avast and defender running in vista. I would hate to find out this is a virus or the likes.
 
There sure is something not right there. Does the system seem slow compared to normal? What are the specific contents? Are they all the same? Do they go away if no apps are running? If you continuously hit F5 do you see more? Does it happen right after boot?

If it happens in all cases, I would quarantine the pc.

I don't think it's best to have more than one malware checker running simultaneously. I would remove one and recheck for this stream of events. You might try going to the symantec site, etc. and running their online scanners.

Oh what joy - my w2k pc system event viewer shows an error trying to run the service - kl1 - whatever that is. Looks like I'll be tracking this down next.

Don't have an opinion on HiPerfCooker...
 
It appears that this kl1 service is left over from an incomplete uninstall of ZoneAlarm. iirc, ZA uses Kaspersky and kl1.sys seems to belong to them. I used SysInternals' Autoruns to help track it down.

It appears that HiPerfCooker is benign. It supposedly is a bad error message from Windows...

What about the flood of messages in the system log - still happening? Do the app and antivirus logs look ok?

As an aside, have you ever seen any messages in the security log? I haven't - not one.
 
never any kind of security message. The system seems to be running great. I think i am just going to leave it at that. I did have a small issue though that fixed a few things. First, i have an external usb drive. its a laptop drive in a housing unit and runs off the USB port. No power is needed. My vista is drive C, XP is drive D. C is turned off while in XP and D is turned off while in vista. ANYWAYS... heh. This drive would pop up as drive C while a reboot to XP was happening, and it caught up with me as a "did not find hal.dll, repair windows" type of message. I removed the drive from the USB port and boom, everything starting working normally. Still have the other issues we talked about though. I think they are nothing though.

Yea, appearently the Hiperf is an old file used by windows xp, like the first few months of its existance. heh, no idea. but yea, its nothing. Amazing, these things still linger around.
