No wake up after hibernating and unplugging PC
Hello,
when I set my PC to hibernate, my understand is that it is being shut off.
After hibernating, I sometimes completely switch off the power by pushing a button a socket or unplugging the cord to save energy during a long absence.
I've always done this on the same PC when it had Win 7 installed.
Now with Win 8 (and maybe some changes in the settings), it's not working anymore, as when it is hibernating and I pull the power cord it does not boot up properly anymore afterwards. The result can be a BSOD with an automatically triggered restart, or that the screen remains black after the cyan-colored Windows logo appears and nothing more happens until I press the reset button.
Hybrid standby mode is activated but I am not sure if this matters given that I shut it of by pressing on explicitly on "Hibernate" and not Stand-by.
I'm wondering if it's just a Windows or Bios configuration issue (probably since it worked before under Win 7).
I don't know if it has any bearing but in my Bios "Deep Sleep" is enable in S5 mode, which as far as I remember just controls if the USB ports have power or not and can be used to re-activate the PC.
It would be good to restore the original functionality where you are free to disconnect the power while it is in hibernation mode.
Thanks
Steve
