when computer goes into hibernation it will not wake up.
At this point it will not even start with a power off and
back on. monitor light will flash but sceen remains
black. lights on computer cycle like it is trying to
start up but then does not... any help would be
appreciated.
 
You might try starting your computer using the cd rom.
This might require changing the boot order, if you are
booting from the hard drive so that the computer looks at
the cd drive first, the floppy drive 2nd, & the hard
drive 3rd. I developed a similar problem after
downloading the Service Pack 1 directly from Microsoft
which has a virus in it. I lost everything & this is the
only thing that worked to get me back into my computer.
If you find that you need to reinstall Win XP, backup
everything important since they may be lost during the
reinstall!

Good luck!
