Dex,
The machine is a desktop. But using hibernate is nice since all the system fans shut
off and it is basically like having the machine powered down. Note - you can even
cut the power to the machine and it will resume and boot quickly. Having to set the
time interval to 5 minutes or less is a pain since if you stop working for a few
minutes, the machine shuts off. If I use the monitor and hard drive options, the
monitor only partially powers down and the system fans still keep running. So I would
prefer hibernate. Just irks me that there seems to be no tool to diagnose this problem.
I have not been able to find any messages in any of the log files or event viewer
that points to what might be wrong.
