Head off hibernation problems before they arise

If your computer suffers from errors when you bring it out of hibernation, you should take some proactive steps for every hibernation session.

Before and during hibernation/standby:


  • Never change major hardware configurations. For example, don’t dock a laptop that was undocked when it entered standby, and never attach USB devices during this time.

  • Always close applications that don’t work well with power saving modes before forcing hibernation or standby. CD and DVD burning applications and backup utilities are common culprits of computer instability after resuming.
