Hi all I'm beating myself up over this one.

Basically I want my wonderful PC to hibernate after being idle for 60 minutes.

At first I couldn't get it to hibernate at all but now I can I have to press the button. Okay that is good but I have to manually hibernate.

I had a look to find out if my BIOS is affecting this I noticed I need something called S4 but in my BIOS I only see S3 or S1 selectable:

Anyway I had a read about the different power states:

it seems S4 is the hibernation but can't pick it in the BIOS anyway
here are my settings:

Does that look like it is setup correctly?

It just doesn't hibernate automatically after PC is idle for 60 minutes.

I wouldn't mind it sleeping just as long as it doesn't power back with keyboard or mouse movement

anyone know what I can try?
