You are using most probably the ACPI functions...
Disable ACPI under DeviceManager/Computer...or do it in the BIOS

Hey,

Go to your control panel, then go to power management.

Go to the APM tab--- enable it.

this should work (it works for me)

i have an se440bx2 motherboard from intel and all i had to do was download the BIOS update and it fixed everything without having to fiddle with anything. i'm sure it's the same for the rest

I had a hibernate problem, which I overcame by booting safe mode and eliminating device drivers one by one.
As it turned out, the culprit on this occasion was the creative Liveware drivers (beta) for Win2k.
The problem surfaced when I tried to shutdown the computer. The shutdown message appeared, but after that the computer just locked. Sometimes I even received the BSOD.

Uninstalling/Disabling this device corrected the problem. Hopefully this won't be an issue with the final Liveware drivers.
