    I just reformatted my pc yesterday cause there seemed to be too many problems with it. I have noticed however, that hiberation just doesn't work on battery mode. Like it goes through the process of shutting down and the light go off but like in a second they come back on and resume the computer... errr whats going on here? I am going to be very disappointed if I can't use hibernation

    I have the Asus G1 (not the g1s) and am running windows xp media centre with sp2. Hibernation and standby work on ac mode and standby works on battery mode, but hibernation doesn't, it just won't stay off o_O

    Try:

    BIOS update
    ACPI driver update

    You may also want to get the Windows Update, for your laptop. You should see the Windows Update icon right when you click on the Start Button. Download all of the update you want, of course get the necessary ones. As well as, do what EBE mentioned.

    The ACPI helps with all sorts of power and hardware communication. You need to update the ATK0100 driver (likely). You can get it from the Asus site.

    Well if you don't have the ATK driver installed, it's pretty clear that it's the culprit.

    You will need an equivalent driver. Check the FTP sites as well, sometimes updates that are not listed on the web are still stored in the FTP folders.

    Do you have an ASUS ATK driver specifically released for your model?
