"insufficient system recources" problem???

Hey,

I have a pretty new laptop (about 5 months old). I have had not serious problems with it so far, but recently whenever I attempt to put the computer into hybernate mode, it turns back on after about 5 minutes with an alert in the toolbar (a warning triangle) that says "insufficient system recources".

a couple of questions:

1) What does that mean?

2) how could I solve this?


thanks a lot!

 

How full is your hard drive? Hibernation requires a bit space (not a ton) to store everything in RAM onto your disk.

Post a screen shot of your Task Manager, that will help see if there is a problem.

I usually disable hibernation. I don't like it, and it screws with the OS sometimes. Standby does the trick for me usually, and the wake-up process is way quicker.

 

My Computer>Right-click HDD>Properties
How much space do you have left? If it's nearly full delete some media and see how it goes.

 

i have that problem when i forget to restart my computer every now and then and use hibernate all of the time according to windows tech support a computer should be restarted atleast once in 24 hours if possible just to clear the garbage out of the cash i guess xp is not very coefficient at doing this on the fly

thanks for the advice, but i have 18.2 GB used and 91.8GB free.

 

Ok, but you're still not giving enough information for an accurate diagnosis.

What are you doing before going into hibernation? Can you post a shot of your Task Manager? Have you run Safe Mode virus/spyware scans?

 

looked at this?

This is a common issue for computers having 1gb+ memory using windows xp sp2. To fix it, instal the KB update from the link provided by qhn

 

wow, just installed the KB update and now my hibernation works fine!

thanks very much to you all!
