Hi folks!

I'm usually not the one to post a problem here as I can usually figure out the solution, but this one has me stumped. When I lock my screen and leave my computer to do tasks while I'm away, the computer goes into hibernation after an hour or so. I tried fiddling with the power options, but no joy. This is a deal breaker for me. I need to have my computer running while I'm away as I have it doing tasks like rendering video etc. I cannot have it go to sleep! Anyone have any ideas?

Hello Snarks,

The tutorial below can help show you how to disable hibernate.

Hibernate - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Forums


In addition, double check your advanced power plan options to make sure that you have all of the Sleep settings set to "Never" or "Off".

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks Brink! Once again you have proven you are an asset to this forum. I tried looking through the tutorials, but I couldn't find the one you linked to. Hopefully it will work. Time will tell. I have marked this as solved for now.

Have a real one!
