Hi to all, I could hibernate my laptop and resume without any problem, until I reshuffled my USB hubs to accommodate a new USB mass storage. Now, I can hibernate my PC, but when I want to wake it up, it stops after the white progression bar. I got one time a BSOD screen, which did not tell me much. I reorganized my hard disk, but it did not help. Any idea welcome ! thanks in advance

Have you tried undo what you reshuffled with your USB hubs and do without the USB mass storage? i_XpUser

Hi Xpuser, I believe I have not much choice...unless some one has a tremendously sharp idea... The problem is that I was short of plugs with the previous configuration.

No, I mean to undo everything for the time being just to see if your laptop wake up with no problem. i_XpUser

I have owned nothing but laptops for the last 10 years... all different kinds, and I have come to one conclusion... hibernation software is and always has been shotty at best. There were gliches and foul ups my IBM, Toshiba, HP, yadda, yadda. Today I run an HP Pavilion and DO NOT USE hibernation... A re-start is just as easy anyway.

blackbill comment is a testimony as to why I personally avoid hibernate and standby. The following links tells why. Hard disk may become corrupted when entering standby or hibernation. Sleep Disorders i_XpUser

Hi to all, Many thanks for your kind messages. It's really nice of you to take the care. I think I found the problem. I tested hibernation starting from the bare notebook and adding peripherals piece by piece. The outcome is the following : hibernation cannot be woken up as soon as I connect my ADSL modem (nearly 4 years old), whatever the configuation (direct plugging or via a hub). The modem is OK for internet work, but clearly it should have some problem. Still many thanks to all - Claude
