No Monitor Signal after Hibernation on Windows 7
Kind of a strange random problem I got here. I woke up the other day and tried to turn my computer on after it had been hibernating for the night, to my shock the monitor wasnt getting a signal of any kind. So i messed with the cords, tried a few restarts, turn the monitor on and off. Nothing worked. Finally i popped the case open and gave it a good dusting, took the video card out and cleaned that really well too. It was fairly dusty so i thought maybe that was the problem. So After cleaning the video card it worked, the monitor got the signal and started going through the start up motions. At the time i thought nothing of it, but half way through start up Windows asked me If i wanted to resume windows like before, or delete the log and proceed. Or something ot that nature, maybe someone else knows a bit more. So if i choose to resume windows, the monitor died but worked after a restart. If i choose to delete the resume file or whatever and just start normally, everything worked fine. That is until i went to bed and it hibernated again and i had to repeat the whole process. At first i thought it was the video card, but thats probably not the problem. Anybody else have this happen? Ive disabled hibernation for now and it seems to be working fine, but i would like to fix what ever the problem is. Thanks for any help.

Hi, What is the exact information? Currently, I would like to suggest you try the following suggestions to check the result: 1. Update the video card driver to the latest. 2. To restore the power plans to default settings, follow these steps: 1) Click Start. 2) In the Search programs and files box, type cmd. 3) Right-click CMD, and then click Run as administrator. 4) At the command prompt, type powercfg -restoredefaultschemes, and then press ENTER. 5) At the command prompt, type exit to exit the Command Prompt window. 6) Restart the computer.

Hi, If all efforts above failed, please update the BIOS and chipset driver to check how it works. Meanwhile, if it is possible, please provide the Windows message literally.
