Tom, this is a super post, and while I have not read all of the comments, I have gotten a huge amount out of the reading. What I would love to hear from you is some comments related to using an SSD instead of the standard HD. I have both running on my system, and there are various tweaks that give you an optimization, one of which is to use a RAM drive for temp files. That, plus the SSD drive now give me a super fast startup of both the system and major programs. I keep most data files on the regular drive and most programs & the OS on the SSD. While I know that the RAM drive precludes hibernate, I am working now on at least going into standby to keep down power consumption. I am sure your input and additional advice will help me get to a solution.

Again, as noted by others, thanks for your hero status on this worthy cause to help us lower our carbon footprint!

I have to report that my XP goes nicely in hibernation mode ONCE after a fresh system start. (Referring to jqs.exe disabling).

=> Fresh Start #1 => Hibernation after X min
=> Start #2 => NO hibernation

Just wondering what is different after hibernation.. There is something that is nagging the system not to sleep. Argh..!

Disabling jqs.exe solved the problem on both my XP machines. This program continually pings the harddrive and keeps the machine awake.

Edit to the issue: after several attempts I’ve verified the posibility +5vsb was not operative and so it is. Jumpers are correctly shorted but +5vsb power doesn’t work although I can enter and resume from standby by PS2 keyboard.

I’m disappointed because I fixed the same problem which sometimes occurr again and so I’m very disappointed also with myself becaus I would like to know the cause to be able to fix it.

230: you are lucky. It is a small price if you get your computer to hibernate.
