Spontaneous restart from hibernation?

[George McKinney]

I recently restored a three year old Compaq using "OEM restore" and brought
it up to date - Home XP (SP3).
It goes into hibernation OK but restarts on its own after a short while.
This never happened to me before with other XP systems.
Is there some setting or POWERCFG /HIBERNATE switch that would cause that?

Thanks, George McKinney

Is Wake on Lan enabled for the network card?

Thanks; went into device mgr>netwok card>advanced>and disabled wake on lan!
That should do it, Best George

Had to also go to power management tab and deselect allow wake!
Thanks again, George

Yep - that was the next step. Glad you got it sorted.
