Vista 64Bit hibernation problem

Hi all,

I recieved my NP2090 a few days ago and, after installing Vista 64b Business, I'm finding that my machine won't come out of hibernation correctly. It power up just fine, and I assume it boots to the login screen as well. The screen, however, remains either dark or outputs garble (random noise/coloured lines). I'm using the latest video drives from laptopvideo2go.com, and I've already updated the bios to 1.10.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

Hibernation for notebooks has always been an issue since XP.

1) when you hibernate, you should have the same power state when waking
Example: when the notebook is on battery power and hibernates... it should wake with battery power.... same goes for AC, wake with AC.

2) when hibernating, the wireless connection usually get screwed up because the computer thinks it still had a connection when hibernating... while the wireless access point thinks its already disconnected.

I would just recommend to fully shutdown the computer... rather than dealing with Hibernation issues.

 

Odd, I've never had a problem in XP on another laptop (VoodooPC M360).

Yes, the wireless connections drops, but you shouldn't actually be *doing* anything when you hibernate

I suspect it might be driver issue, since the OS does actually come up. Well, it complains when I start the machine up again once it gets stuck with the crap on the screen.

 

if you have more than 1 gig of ram hibernation does not work in windows xp.
