Weird shut-down problem

Hi,

I just built a desktop system (ECS K7S5A MB, Duron 1.3GHz, Quantum Fireball HDD, 512MB Muskin PC2700 RAM) that works fine when I'm using it, but when I go away for a little while, it decides to go into a hibernation-like state and I can't "wake" it up.

No mouse clicks or pressing Enter will bring it back to life. The PC seems to be working fine (all fans running, power light on, monitor light on) but it just won't send signal to the monitor. I re-boot and everything is fine again.

I just finished going through the power management settings in the control panel and made sure that everything was set to "Do not turn off" for the HDD, Monitor, etc. and disabled hibernation mode.

Hopefully the weird problem will go away now, but I'm wondering if there's something else I should check.

with a problem like this, i usually disable hibernation/stand-by mode. sometimes it takes my computer upto 15mins before it'll wake up from that mode.

Yes, it seems as though "Hibernation" was checked in the Power Management console and my computer just took a long time to "wake up" as yours did.

I've never seen that before and wonder why anybody would ever set their PC up like that......but anyways.....seems like it's working fine now.

Thanks!
