Stupid Question by Stupid Owner
A couple of times I have hit " Hibernate " instead of " Shut Down " and not been able to bring the machine back up.
"Esc" and "Enter " don't work. What's the secret ?
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

it'll wake from sleep mode on the enter / esc keys
but like blake says hibernate needs the power button (unless you can change the power on options in the bios)

Didn't work 
Only thing I can do is crash it by holding in power button for 5 secs.

PMSL 
Which operating system have you got?
Just a wee explanation (sorry if this is teaching your granny to suck eggs…)
when its hibernating the power is completely off (it saves some stuff the hard disk so it knows what it was doing before it shut down) so you need to
start it up just as if it was shut down - then when windows starts it loads the stuff it saved to the hard disk to pick up were it left off….
Sleep mode on the other hand just turns off the screen, hard disc etc and runs the bare minimum (like putting a TV on standby)

Thanks Mcerd. I think maybe I'm not giving it enough time to shut down then. I hit hibernate and the screen immediately went black so I thought
that was it. I'll try again next time it happens. Vista btw 
Now, what was that about sucking eggs? Gie ye the bolk

I almost always hibinate my machine rather than shut it down, running XP, which i understand is now the norm for windows 7 PC's?
However i did have one machine that just would not hibanate, and simply crashed everytime. Never got to the bottom of it but a fresh install of
windows did the job a year later.

that doesn't sound right.... (I don't have vista though, but I do have all the other windows versions from 3.11 onwards...)

there is a setting in your bios for any key boot up. which will work when you drop the pc into hibernate.
if you enable this in teh bios when you hibernate you can just press a key on USB/ps2 keyboard
Thanks
