- Hibernate vs. Standby and memory leaks
- Posted by Reactor on April 27th, 2007
All,
Thinking out loud here and I am not a technician, so please bear with me.
I have an Averatec C3500 tablet PC runing XP Tablet Edition. I would
consider myself to be a power user, and the laptop gets used heavily and I
always have 5 - 6 apps open at a time, and multiple windows within those
apps (ie spreadsheets in Excel).
When I am not using the laptop, I usually set it to hibernate so that I
don't have to wait 5 minutes for it to boot up. I do this with all the apps
running.
Sometimes when the machine comes back up, it is very slow. If I kill some
apps it gets better some of the time but recently I notice that the
winlogon.exe process is eating up all the CPU cycles.
So - is it possible that when the machine is hibernating, any apps that have
memory leak issues are continuing to eat up my memory, and would putting the
machine in standby be any better?
And why does winlogon.exe suddenly decide that it needs the entire CPU when
I am already logged onto the machine?
Thanks for the input.

wake up from hibernation I can never get a network connection
Also is there a registry key that makes hibernate the default option
when I shut down, like it is on my Dell?

So what do you do Mike? Shutdown ZoneAlarm and reopen? And I don't know
about a registry key, but it is sometimes settable in the Power Options
in the Control Panel. It is found under the Advanced tab.

I don't know, but did you try standby yet? And for memory leaks, those
free RAM utilities are wonderful IMHO. I use a commercial one called
TweakRam.

OK, I am back in business. Here we go:
* Bought a HDD enclosure that ran off of USB.
* Pulled the hard drive, stuck it in, and was able to save all my files,
especially the Outlook .pst.
* FOUND MY RECOVERY DISK FOR THE LAPTOP and recovered the system - took
about half an hour - yay!!
* Dumped all the files back onto the laptop - everything works!!!
Thanks to all for every bit of advice. I do appreciate it.

Make a copy of the Restore disc (CD or DVD) ... or several .... so that
you can find one if you need it again.

may be when I leave the lappy closed for a long time and the lease has
expired? I've now changed my router so that static IP addresses are
given out for the MAC addresses
done what they suggest on google. On the power tab, and ensured that
switching the computer off is associated with "shut down", although I
would prefer to do it manually
