How do i hibernate a PC ?

from start and shutdown there is no option to hibernate just standby.

hibernate works if i press the power button or leave it idle for x minutes, but there is no button i can click on to hibernate a pc.

Just want to hiberate a PC which i normally access remotely.

thanks

edit : nevermind found out i have to hold down shift ! not very obvious is it !

Click Start -> Shutdown

When have option for shutdown, restart, logoff hold Shift and Shutdown will change to hibernate

On the Power Options property page there is a Hibernate tab.

Enable Hibernation must be selected here.

OcUK = learn something new everyday

Though on one notebook I've seen the Hibernate option/button on its own, i.e. Hibernate, Stand By, Turn Off and Restart

EDIT: On mine, Stand By changes to Hibernate when you hold shift key just to let you know

Hmm, although my laptop is ACPI compatible, and can't hibernate. The Hibernate tab just doesnt appear in the power options. I have the latest BIOS and GFX drivers.

Any suggestions ?

Youll need1 x Box and some straw.

Make sure you keep you PC in a nice quiet area, well ventilated but not too cold!

I'll get my coat : <

yup,

hold left shift..

i set my laptop to 'do nothing' on close lid, and to hibernate after 5 mins when on batt power, or hibernate on power button
