Computer Troubleshooting

[superbadd]

My toshiba satilite c655 keeps starting a system repair after hibernating.

Every time I do a shut down I dont have the problem but for some reason the computer shuts off while hibernating and when I turn it back on it says its looking for a way to fix the problem and it starts a system repair but it wont let me cancel or do anything else.

It says that it should only take several minutes but it goes on for hours until I just hold the power button and shut it off. Then when  I restart it goes on fine with no alerts or anything. The problem only occurs when I put it in hibernate. Just wanted to know if anyone knows if its bad for the computer and why it does this? or should I just not hibernate anymore?

For some reason the Hibernation is not working, or at least not working correctly. I would just disable it and stick with either Sleep mode or doing a normal shut down. Hibernation is not a Toshiba or Windows utility, so you can't just reinstall it. The only way that I know how to reinstall the Hibernation feature would be to reload the operating system which would be a major hassle because you'd need to back up all of your files, pictures and music and start again. Also you'd need to reinstall all of your programs again.

I have the exact same problem with my Satellite P755-S5390 but it only happens if I close the cover.  I have it set to hibernate when I close the cover, but even if I put it into hibernate first and then close the cover  I have the problem.  So I have learned not to close the cover.  But I really would like an explanation of why this happens. Obviously this is not normal.

How do you turn hibernating and sleeping off?  I only have 1 program on this 5 year old Laptop and it is my Genealogy Program.  The last 3 times I have been working in it, the Laptop went to Hibernate.  I had to turn the computer completely off and back on.
