    Hi All,

    Really quick question, I have the same PC as my mate but he runs vista 32 and i run 64. When i put the computer into hibernate and I try to come out of it it goes through the process of "Resuming windows". When he does it it does straight to his desktop. How do i get mine to go straight to desktop and just to let you know mines overclocked and his isn't. Exact same spec machine as well part per part.

    Thanks

    Req

    Sounds like he has it set on "Sleep" mode.
    Hibernation saves the computer state and switches off, whereas sleep just uses minimum power.

    I dont think its sleep cause it shuts down the hard drives and powers down the fans whereas sleep doesn't do that. maybe's its that hybrid sleep thing but i have no idea what that even is?

    Sleep/standby should stop the fans and drives if its set up right in the BIOS. Hibernate switches the whole system off and writes the contents of memory to disk. That's what's taking so long when you start up again - it has to read all of that back into RAM.
