Your Video Card (as far as I know - ATI (now AMD) does not make monitors.)

You are obviously having a ton of issues with the ATI video device and -
more precisely - their software. You are far from the first and are not
likely to be the last to have issues with their software in reference to one
or more things. I am *not* saying that NVidia video cards have *no
issues* - definitely not a fact - but I know that in my years of experience,
my many machines (current and past, actually owned by myself or just
supported by me in some fashion - temporarily or permanent) I have had fewer
issues with NVidia devices and software than I have with ATI devices and
software.

Also - you seemingly have a *lot* running on your system at all times.
Seems bizarre to me - like beyond the default by many times. Perhaps a
little cleanup (uninstallation of software you do not use, removal of
hardware you do not use, etc) is in order?

Thanks, Jim. I either know about those, or they seem
to be nesessary.

I do have a lot running, but that isn't something recent. I don't even
have in Startup a number of stuff that I load when I need it, not
always with startup. Startup for me is what's essential for my daily
bread, like e-mail but not browser; Norton Anti-Virus (*not* Save and
Restore), no I.M. or Skype of MSN or Windows Messenger. No word
processor or scanner or FAX, no checkbook.

As for NVidia, I shy far away from replacing an HP-built-in video card
or equivalent with something completely new to me. It's broke but it
ain't *that* badly broke! But your sage advice is much appreciated.

When Hibernate tine is set for 1 hours, it goes into
hibernation properly. When set for 2 hours, right after about
1 hour, the above event is logged and it fails to go into
hibernation. Overnight tonight I'll try to remember to see
if it repeats this every hour, if hibernate is set for more
than 2 hours.

Tcpip/NetBios is set for automatic. I suppose I could set it
to Manual to see if that fixes it. Any other advice?

if it repeats this every hour, if hibernate is set for more
than 2 hours.

Tcpip/NetBios is set for automatic. I suppose I could set it
to Manual to see if that fixes it. Any other advice?
Adding to the above is a disappointing test.

I set Tcpip/NetBios to Automatic; also
Events Log to Automatic...... Set Hibernate for 2 hours.

Went away, and when I came back 3 hours later my screen
saver was on, it had not gone to hibernate, and there
was *no clue* in any of the Events Log.

Please tell me about Tcpip, which seems to be involved
with this problem.

A bit more evidence:

The complete Events LogSystems for my machine's overnight
attempts to go into hibernation is available for study
(I hope) at

http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billurie/events6.evt

The one event logged and shown up above, was the only entry,
except that it repeated every 2hrs 2.5 minutes, as can be
seen in the log on my website. So my question about what is
Tcpip for, and what can I do about stopping it from causing
the system to hibernate after 2 hours, remains.

If above link does not work, please try this one, and change extension
to .evt after downloading it:

I'll get my act in order about uploading.......(I hope).

Is outlook express active when you try to hibernate? How often do you check
for mail?

I have found that if I set hibernate time at 1 hour, then
overnight
it goes to hibernate and gives no error messages in 'Events'.
But if I
set hibernate at 2 hours, it never goes to hibernate, and the
reason is
in the Event Log:
Two events occur periodically. One is Service Control Manager
being
called, every hour. and it gives a 7036 code..."Windows Image
Acquisition Service" (WIA) entered the running state".
The other is TCpip code 4201....Network Control Test.
I'd like to find out first how to set the WIA to some longer
period,
and more about the Network Control Test.
What is the status of your WIA service? Disable it and reboot
if you
are not using a scanner or camera. Is that message preceded by
a WIA
being sent a start message and only happens on reboot or do you
see it
every hour? Just disable WIA if you are not using it. It is
just
another running service you may not need.
You may also want to remind folks that you are still running SP2
which
is known to have problems with hibernation that were resolved
with

(Snip) I believe I'm narrowing it down to the following Event,
which occurred 3 hours after leaving the computer. Security
and Applications showed only the usual 1 Security event at
the start:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Tcpip
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4201
Date: 3/14/2010
Time: 2:52:18 PM
User: N/A

Description:
The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\
TCPIP_{D5E50A75-4A1C-4421-A5B4-569C9FE131B8} was connected
to the network, and has initiated normal operation over
the network adapter.

When Hibernate tine is set for 1 hours, it goes into
hibernation properly. When set for 2 hours, right after about
1 hour, the above event is logged and it fails to go into
hibernation. Overnight tonight I'll try to remember to see
if it repeats this every hour, if hibernate is set for more
than 2 hours.

Tcpip/NetBios is set for automatic. I suppose I could set it
to Manual to see if that fixes it. Any other advice?

I'm going to top-respond and deep six a bunch below.

Unknown, I never ever use or even load Outlook Distress.
I use Thunderbird and check for mail whenever I come back
out of hibernation, after I look at Events Log..........
but note that I always restart before making one of these tests.

(a lot of snip)
See previous posts for fill-in. But my testing seems to be narrowing
it down to Tcpip occurring maybe every hour, and when it occurs,
hibernate doesn't happen.

I'm hoping someone will explain Tcpip to me......maybe there's no
need for it, or maybe there's a way to keep it if it's needed, and
set it so that it doesn't interfere with hibernation.
