Hi all;
I have my screensaver set to kick in at 10 minutes. My monitor shuts off after 15 minutes and the system is supposed to hibernate after 20 minutes. The screensaver and monitor shutoff work fine. But the system does not hibernate. Any ideas?

Why hibernate at all? The only useful thing about Standby & Hibernate is that both enables laptops to preserve portable batteries. There are no real advantage for desktops at all.
