System Doesn't start back from hibernate

[Custom Web Designer]

I am using Windows8, When I leave my PC free for sometime, my system get Hibernate and then doesn't start back. I have to replug the power cable every time this happens. This is so irritating. Please help!

I've had the same problem before, and I've read it has to do with the onboard LAN not properly waking up after hibernation. It's usually with Realtek I think and not Intel.

That's funny, I've been having a periodic problem that might be related to the onboard LAN. I went on vacation though, and now it seems fine.

Go to your Start search and type in Power Options, it'll be under settings. Click the first option and it'll load up. Change the power mode to 'High Performance' if it is not already... Then click 'Change Plan Settings.' It should open up another menu; locate 'Sleep' in that menu. Expand it and there should be the option called 'Hibernate after', set that to never.

Hope this helped
