I have a 4GB RAM 500GB 7200 rpm HDD laptop and when I hibernate the laptop it takes in the region of 3 or 4 minutes(*) to hibernate. not the 24 seconds it used to take.
It takes this long whether or not my external USB drives are plugged in.
When I got it it was pre-installed with Vista Home Premium, I have since restored the OS from the backup DVD's I created, and also upgraded to Vista Ultimate.
What should I be checking in order to track down the source of this rather sloth-like hibernate process.
I'm looking to tips, techniques and tools please peeps.
Thanks in advance.
I will be back to update / answer this question as I investigate, and also if I find a solution.
(*) Timed it - it took 4 minutes 38 seconds. 31 seconds after enabling disk write caching
Any entries in your Event Viewer that seem germane to this issue? Did this start happening after installing any new software or windows updates? – Garrett – 2009-10-06T18:18:36.943
