Hibernate triggers a Reboot when attempting to startup...

Howdy folks;

I'm at my wits end here. I had an issue few weeks ago stuck in a boot loop, slicked my drive and reinstalled Windows.
I enabled Hibernate and when I try to startup from Hibernate, I get the Asus Splash screen for just a few seconds, and then a FULL BOOT occurs.

I've ensured the Display Drivers are all up to date, as I enabled Bootlogging and there are a few consistent issues;

NOT LOADED:
amdfendr.sys
dxgkrnl.sys (tries to load this multiple times)
CAD.sys
WdFilter.sys

DXDIAG comes back clean, I ran SFC and it repaired a few items but it appears that when the REBOOT occurs it's not logging it- theres a goodly delay between Boot instances.

Suggestions?

ASUS GA503RM
Windows 11 22H2 Build 22621.1702


THANKS in advance...

Check for disk problems
Check Drive for Errors with ChkDsk - ElevenForumTutorials

Test it in Safe mode.
Test it in another user account even if you have to create one for the test.
Post the results.


Best of luck,

OK.

-CHKDSK completed while I wasn't looking, but it continued misbehaving when starting up from Hibernate mode.
-Tried setting Safe Mode & Diagnostic Boot and it also did start-to-boot,,, then-reboot thing.
-Updated Video Drivers. No luv there...

Shaun,

The idea of reinstalling the display driver is that it ought to overwrite any faulty component / registrations.
I don't know if your update included a reinstallation or not. Many do.
But your Safe mode test removes the possibility that it is a display driver fault. Safe mode does not use the driver you installed but a basic MS display driver.

ChkDsk checks the file system rather than the disk itself.

I suggest:

1 Test another account

2 Test the disk itself using, say, CrystalDiskInfo, HDS, ...


This is just a shot in the dark but have you recently disabled S0 Modern standby [if you ever had it]?

I have found ONE sure fire solution to any and every Hibernate problem:

Permanently Disable Hibernate. That's always worked for me, 100%.
And as a plus, you'll get rid of that Humungous Hyberfil.sys file in your root directory.

Cheers mate!
