My Machine Won't Wake Up.

[Augusta]

Can somebody help me, please !

I can't reawaken my machine from Standby.

The mouse nor keyboard would reawaken my machine so I
pressed the power switch (twice), to bring my machine back
to life. The machine appears to restart but...

There's an immediate single beep.
The keyboard lights flash and the Num Lock comes on and
stays on.
Nothing else seems to work.
The USB mouse has no red lights,
The screen is in standby- denoted by the amber light

I tried inserting a music CD (well I don't know what else
to try), but nothing happens.

I searched with Google but all solutions I have seen refer
to something I should set, or do, WHEN the machine starts
up which it won't do.

HELP me please !!

Restart your computer again using the F8 several times key just after the
Bios screen, a menu will appear and you may receive the following error
message:

System restart has been paused:

Continue with system restart. Delete restoration data and proceed to system
boot menu. This problem can occur when your computer enters into the
Hibernate mode and accesses a corrupted memory snapshot.

To resolve this problem, select the "Delete restoration data and proceed to
system boot menu" option which enables the computer to perform a normal
restart, instead of performing the restoration process while the computer is
in Hibernate
mode.

Thanks Greg, I'll give that a try.
