Charles. Each machine's BIOS settings are different in that it changes settings in the motherboard. I have a SOYO Motherboard and it has a Phoenix Award BIOS Setup Utility. In it the main page's 6th menu entry on the left hand side, has a couple of options. The two main options that concern me is the "Power Management" option, which in my case I have set up to "User Define", and the Suspend Mode option, which I have set up to "Disabled". There are other options there, but for now I don't recommend doing anything other than to try and solve the immediate problem.
Once you do this, the advise you've received on this board regarding the settings, should make your machine good to go, especially the one about going to the motherboard manufacturer's (or the computer manufacturer's) web site and search their support area for updated BIOS files for your BIOS. Changing your BIOS settings with new BIOS programming is quite delicate. If you don't follow the instructions you could completely disable your machine's capacity to boot at all. So be forewarned. Lastly, if after having done this the problem persists. Change the battery. It is relatively cheap. Remember to go into your BIOS settings and re-apply the recommended changes, etc. Clearing the BIOS (done in my motherboard by carefully changing jumpers on special pin outs on the motherboard, waiting a minute, and then changing them back... While the machine has been shutdown, and unplugged from the source of electricity. I hope some of this works for you. Be well. ================ PabloSr In a learning adventure -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Hart Enzer, M.D. Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 8:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [NF] XP Hibernation Freezes Dear Paablo: I tried looking at the BIOS.
