    Hello folks, hopefully someone here can help me.

    I have an Aspire 5670. In the past month or so I have noticed that when I tell the computer to go into standby mode, it would but then a few hours later I would come back and it was no longer in standby mode.

    Same thing started happening with Hibernate mode.

    Just a few days ago, Hibernate mode stopped working entirely and instead when you tell the notebook to hibernate it just goes into standby mode.

    I called Acer tech support and they blamed it on Windows and said that I probably updated with a patch from Microsoft that introduced the issue.

    So what can I do to fix it besides reinstalling Windows??

    Make sure that hibernation is still enabled (under the power properties) and that you have enough space (~ RAM size) for the hibernation file. I use hibernation all the time with very few problems, but I never trust standby. I hibernating computer is off until you press the power button to turn it on.
