How do i get laptop out of hibernation - Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 Notebook

hello,

check the settings for hibernation,i think its programed to hibernate becuase of a setting check this link http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-program-your-pc-to-hibernate.html

Definition: Hibernate is another option for powering down your laptop. When you use Hibernate all data will be saved to the hard drive in a compressed form. Once you start up from Hibernate mode you will be able to work with the applications and documents you left open before putting the laptop into Hibernate.
Hibernate is best used to conserve laptop battery power when you will be away from the laptop for more than a few minutes. You can put your laptop into Hibernate overnight or when you will be away from it for a few hours. Examples: Rather than shutting down my laptop each night, I use Hibernate to help conserve battery power and enable me to access my open files quicker in the morning.

If you are not going to use your computer for a few hours, it is a good idea to put it to sleep (also known as mode) to save power. If you are not going to use the computer for more than a day, it is usually best to turn it off.


hope it helps.... please rate if you like my post...thanks

Common problem with a lot of laptops.
I recommend you shut it down as opposed to let it hibernate or just turn off hibernation

Start... Control panel.... Power options... Hibernate ... uncheck the box "Enable Hibernate"

Try disabling the hibernation feature, rebooting your laptop, then re-enabling the hibernation feature. This will delete the hibernation file.
Next time you hibernate your system, the hibernation file will be recreated.

Sounds like the laptop is going into hibernation. Have a look at power management to check on what hibernation is set to.If you are watching streaming video then the cpu etc are not doing anything, only your graphics chip is working and as the graphics chip is not polled by the power management system, it thinks you have left the laptop and hibernates it !! Increase the delay for hibernation or turn hibernation off. Just remember to close the screen when you leave the system unattended as this will also initiate hibernation..

to permanently diable hibernation go to control panel>>power options>>hibernate>>uncheck enable hibernation.

or to increase hibernation time click on power scheme and adjust the hibernate time manually with your ease.........

Hibernation is a power management feature. When you hibernate a laptop, you're essentially turning it off. So, unlike Stand By (Sleep) mode, a hibernated laptop isn't using any battery power at all - that laptop is off!

The secret behind hibernation is that before you turn off the laptop, everything you're doing with the computer is saved. (The contents of memory are saved to the hard disk.) When the computer is turned on again, it recovers from hibernating by reloading all the saved information and restoring your laptop to exactly the same condition it was in before it was hibernated.

Briefly, hibernation works like this:

1. You activate the hibernation feature.

Hibernation is activated differently depending on how it's set up.

2. The laptop hums as everything in memory is saved to disk.

3. The laptop turns itself off.

It's really and truly off: The battery isn't being used, and it's safe to store the laptop or put it away until you need to use it again.

To recover from Hibernation mode, just turn the laptop on. In some cases, the laptop may recover from hibernation when you press a key or touch the mouse pad. hibernated state for as long as you want.


Hibernation mode requires hard drive space. So you should be aware that when hard drive space runs low, it's possible that Hibernation mode won't work.



In Windows XP, you have to activate Hibernation mode before you can use it. Follow these steps to activate Hibernation:

1. Click the Start button.

2. From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.

3. Open the Power Options icon in the Control Panel.

4. In the Power Options Properties dialog box, look for and click on the Hibernation tab.

If you don't see a Hibernation tab, there's your answer: The laptop isn't capable of hibernating. Oh, well.

You might want to check the laptop's Setup program to see whether you can activate Hibernation there.

5. Select the Enable Hibernation option by clicking the check box to place a check mark in the box.

6. Review other options, if they're available.

7. Click OK to confirm the changes and close the Power Options Properties dialog box.

Optionally, close the Control Panel window, as well.

Some laptops may require you to restart Windows for this change to take effect.

Try some antivirus

navigate to control Panel>>power options>>Hibernate tab and uncheck the Enable Hibernate mode and restart the system and if it still does the same then please contact your system admin

Typically this indicates a problem with a particular piece of hardware or its driver that is not cooperating when windows tries to hibernate. Do you have anything new attached to the system? If so, try unplugging it, rebooting, and see if it cooperates then. Also, have you checked the windows event log to see if windows reports any particular errors when trying to hibernate?
