Vista - Major problems after hibernation

Not strictly a Vista problem but some clever person may know the
answer. PC had a duff keyboard (USB) so swapped for a PS2. All fine
but friend hit the hibernation key and it went into hibernation fine.
Problem is it won't come back!! He tells me that when he went to power
it back on he gets nothing at all, no lights, no fans etc. I seem to
remember in the distant past that there was a way of getting it to
come back to life by doing something with either the power or the
reset button??

Any ideas please? PC was working perfectly before he hit the button!

TIA


cheers,
Len

Our website has an excellent tutorial on power settings and sleep related issues.

Hi Len,

In addition to Joe's post, you should be able to press the case power button to wakeup the computer from hibernation mode. If not, try unplugging the computer for a moment, then plug it back in and try pressing the case power button. You may need to press it for a moment to. Afterwards check the link above in Joe's post to see what may be causing it.
