Idle-timed Hibernate and/or standby sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, why doesn't it work prope

Idle-timed Hibernate and/or standby sometimes works and sometimes doesn't,
why doesn't it work properly all the time?????

I have winxp pro + all the updates + p4 3.0c 800 HT + 1gb mem [yes i
installed microsoft's patch for when mem is 1gb and won't hibernate]. + asus
p4p800 D + latest bios + Ati aiw 9600 pro + logitech quickcam 4000 pro +
microsoft trackball explorer + logitech internet navigator keyboard

I can manually set the computer into hibernate no problem however when i set
a timed like say after 25 minutes of no cpu & keyboard/mouse acitivty it
sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't i can reboot
[sometimes it doesn't work even after a reboot have to reboot twice] and
most of the times it works good for alittle while then stops working even
without me rebooting or anything. When i mean stops working i mean that it
doesn't put the computer into hibernat after the 25 minutes.

I've reinstalled win xp thru CD but still have same problem.
I have both enabled and disabled Apm in bios still same.

You microsoft guru's know anything ???? is the Hyperthreading messing with
the way windows see's the cpu idle activity ????? etc

thanks

I have already responded to this in another group.

This is the 3rd group I have seen this individual post in. How many more
groups have you posted to? It gets old, real fast, seeing the same thing
over and over again. Many people will block a person who does this so they
don't have to view any future posts from the individual. Pick your group
carefully and make your post. Then, after a couple of hours, go back and
look for answers!
