Re: hibernate and resolved

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Rick,

Thanks for the explanation. It now does make more sense.

More questions. I have assigned the sleep keyboard button to hibernate on
demand. However, the computer does not hibernate after a timetable set nor it
does not go on standby. The monitor does not turn off either (just screen
saver). I downloaded the video driver specific for the motherboard (from the
manufacturer) as well as the sound driver. There are no question marks on the
device manager.
What should I do?
