Hello I am Neal Giovanni. I am new to that site so if this is posted in the wrong location or a similar problem has been posted please forgive me.

My problem is this, I am maintaining a website for a ministry which has recently moved their website. They had me put up a redirection page at the old website. I went to test it out and whenever the page goes to redirect, XP goes into hibernation. I have tried several different ways of redirecting including PHP, JavaScript and Meta tags all with the same result. When the delay time, that lets a visitor read that the site has moved, has run out XP hibernates. I have never read of that problem anywhere before and have no idea how to fix it. I have run several anti-virus and anti-malware programs and the system repeatedly comes up clean.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Hello Neal Giovanni and welcome to Geeks to Go!


Malware scans are not a solution I am guessing.
Here are a few questions:

1.) Have you tried the redirection on a different PC? If so, are the results the same?
2.) Do you currently have hibernate enabled? Check this by going to Start>Shut Down>See if you can click hibernate.

Please post with your results.

Thank you for your help. Yes, Hibernation is enabled for that computer. I use it all the time and no it doesn't restart other computers I have tried it on, including other computers with Hiberatnion enabled. (I have tried the page on likr 5 other computers including both desktops and laptops.)

The computer that it causes to hibernate is an ASUS EEE PC netbook - it was a model 900 something I forget the exact number. It has an Intel Atom 1.6 Gig CPU and 2 Gig of ram. My nephew has an identical model netbook with Hibernation enabled and it doesn't trigger the hibernation in his netbook so I doubt it has anything to do with the hardware or Hibernation itself.

One difference I have noted is that I have a program that monitors the battery level that I prefer over the built in battery monitor. None of the other computers I have tested use that program so I thought that might be it. However.
even if I prevent that program from starting up and restart the computer to make sure it isn't in memory, redirecting web pages still cause the computer to hibernate.

Hi, sorry it took so long to get back. I couldn't get time to use the computer for a couple of days.
