Computer seems to “hibernate” forever: ( [processor clock speed] [hibernation]
Q: I let my son take to see Harry Potter last night and when I got home, my computer looked like it had gone into “hibernation” mode. I thought initially it was the monitor but could not get to come back. I thought it was finally the computer itself and the light was blinking.
I tried a few things last night and it would come to the BIOS and tell the computer can not start because the processor clock speed is incorrectly set (which was never touched – we were off). So I disabled the energy saving features in BIOS and hoped that it was, but was not. I left it over night and tried this morning and booted up.
I checked my e-mail some surfing and thought Id try to power down and then start again – then it happened again, same blinking power light.
What is wrong with my baby? (
I have an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4
Re:Well, just an update…turned out that the RAM was bad. Replaced the stick of RAM and all is well…
Re:if you don't need standby mode you can always just set it so it doesn't do that. it's under settings, power management. otherwise, give the 2k solutions a shot, same kernel.
Re:Ok, it went down three times this morning (including once when posting here). It seems to have rebooted each time while I am typing, not sure if that is a consistant pattern but the three times this morning I was writing lengthy messages.
Anyway, I got a stop screen this morning and the error had occured in CLASSPNP.SYS. I have done some searching and will continue to do so but so far all I've found is W2K answers and hardly any solutions.
Perhaps someone here has heard of it?

you can try and troubleshoot it, but like one of the linked to articles says, for win2k at least, advanced power management is only supported for laptops. you need acpi or something.
Re:It is using XP, but what is the known issue? heating? Sleep?
Re:is this win2k/xp? this is a known issue, and as far as i know, there are no fixes.
Re:Well there are three options for that (if its the same thing you're talking about). The options are manual, 1000, 1400. It has been set at 1400.
I am stumped and I'm not much of a hardware person at all. Nobody that I have spoken with seems to know the answer.
I have also emailed the place where I bought the computer only a couple of months ago so I expect some answers from him 
Re:Does your BIOS support CPU clock settings? Maybe they actually are set wrong.
I remember one of my friends got this error… I'm having trouble remembering what we did. But I'll let you know when I remember.
