First system specs

Vista home premium 32bit, to lazy to get 64, am I losing anything from this?
asus 8800 gts
amd dual core 64bit 4400+
2 gigs of ram
power supply with enough power, hard to get to it and don't remember what it
is

aditional information needed?

Ok so I press the hybernate button and everything seems normal then the
screen goes black....and stays black. Finally I give up and hold the power
button the computer beeps once and a few seconds later it turns off.

Could sombody tell me why I can't hybernate. My laptop can and it's very
handy but I can't get it to work on my desktop.
 
If you have a Hibernate button, then your system is able to hibernate. In
Vista, however, and unlike XP, there's no screen to tell you what's
happening. The screen goes black. You have to look at the activity lights
on your computer: when they're done flashing, and turn off, hibernation is
complete. You do get to see a message when you turn your computer back on:
" Resuming Windows...".
 
Not tha I don't appreciate the help. But as I said I have vista on my laptop
and hibernate works on it just fine. I am well aware of how it works, what it
looks like, how long it should take. My desktop DOES NOT hibernate I left it
for 10-20 mins and it was still on a black screen. If it is working then it
is taking far longer than it should.
 
You can set the time in Power Management.

What!? I don't need to set the time for anything... I need my hibernate
feature to work. The timing for anything doesn't have to do with anything.
The problem is my computer locks up when it tries to hibernate.
