Windows XP refuses to hibernate

Posted on Thursday, July 2, 2009 by Nicki

For a while now my laptop has refused to hibernate. One out of every 20 times it would hibernate, otherwise it would black the screen briefly and continue running, without any error messages. My machine takes quite a few minutes to boot up, due to all the stuff installed, so this was becoming quite annoying, as hibernate/resume is so fast compared to shutdown and boot.


I digged around the net, and found that MS has a patch for this very problem. I installed it, and now my machine hibernates for days on end without any problems.

To download the patch, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909095
