I'm using Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed.
The problem is whenever i Hibernate, the PC Reboots instead of Shutting Down. The Hibernation operation is performed perfectly though, as computer successfully returns to old state if windows is alowed to boot.
The problem started few days back, it was shutting down after hibernation before.
So, any ideas how this problem can be fixed.
Thanks in advance
 
hitman, see if you have wake on lan enabled in bios, it can cause system to reboot instead of hibernate. in the same vein also check for other wake up events in the bios :(

To stop your computer from waking up when your internet / network connection is active, go into Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager, then find the device that controls your connection (e.g. Network Adapters or Modems). Right click on the relevent device and go to Properties > Power Management, then de-select "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby".

also without hibernation does your system shutdown fine ?

update : try them one by one, check first if they are relevant to you :(
Most Win XP shutdown problems reported thus far have been that it reboots when shutdown is attempted. This may be a global symptom emerging from several distinct causes, because, by default, XP executes an automatic restart in the event of a system failure. Therefore, more or less anything compromising the operating system during the shutdown process could force this reboot.

Disabling the “restart on system failure” feature may permit the exact cause to be isolated: Right-click on My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab. Under “Startup & Recovery,” click Settings. Under “System Failure,” uncheck the box in front of “Automatically restart.”

USB Connections As can be seen from remarks in the Misc. Hardware Issues section below, several different USB-related issues can impact shutdown. One of the most concrete examples was a “reboot on shutdown” problem contributed by correspondent Rick Bross. If his several USB devices (PDA cradle, flash card reader, etc) were plugged into the motherboard’s USB ports, his computer would reboot on an attempted shutdown; but when, instead, he plugged them into an external USB 2.0 hub, shutdown went just fine. (This was with Win XP Professional SP1 on a Supermicro X5DAE dual Xeon motherboard. The same devices plugged into an Asus A7M-266D dual AMD 2000MP system on the same OS worked without problem.)

“Wake on” power settings Power-management settings that have the computer “wake” on LAN, USB, modem, or (for that matter) probably anything else may also trigger a restart after shutdown. Correspondent Simon Wei provided this tip after a friend of his found an old old Logitech USB mouse would trigger “wake on USB” after every Windows shutdown. Their solution was to remove that particular mouse and all worked fine. The principle is much more far-reaching than this one example

Thanx for the quick reply, DIP :)
The problem has been fixed by unchecking the box, in front of Automatically Restrart in " startup & recovery" in system faliure group, and now after hibernation, system shuts down :D but another strange thing has started to happen now :S , whenever i hibernate, the monitors goes blank( ie goes into suspend mode) for about 2 seconds, then turns on back again and hibernation screens displays, and the system then shutdowns.Though its not a problem, but i would like to know why is this happening :huh:

I've also checked for wake on lan, its disabled and LAN is also not allowed to bring system out of standby in power management.There are also no problems in Normal Shutdown.
 
for the monitor problem, download the latest graphics drivers & check, also look in your power settings. i will update this thread if i find a solution for your annoyance ;)
