What to do when you are facing system restart after hibernation

In the Windows systems, the Hibernation and the Standby features are extensively used to save the power consumption used by the computer. The hibernation features creates an image of the open programs, so that these are opened in the same state when the power is turned on. On the other hand, Standby stops the power supply to the hardware components but provides power to the memory so that the data is not lost. However, sometimes due to problems with the hard disk these features do contribute more to it. The hard disk can get corrupted due to various reasons such as virus infections, human errors, file system corruption, etc. In such cases, you should try to find out the cause and the appropriate resolution for the problem. If you are not able to fix the problem, then you should use a third-party hard drive data recovery software to recover important data.
Consider a scenario wherein you have a Windows XP system that has an ATAPI hard disk. In your system, you are having either of the following problems:
The computer restarts when you want to resume from hibernation.
The computer exhibits signs of hard disk corruption when the computer enter either standby or hibernation.
The computer displays hard disk corruption when it writes a memory dump file because of an unrecoverable STOP error.
Cause:
There could be the following causes of this erroneous situation:
The ATAPI driver for Windows XP is incompatible to be used with the 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) while writing memory dump files or hibernation files.
The flush cache command does not get issued to the hard disk that has 48-bit enabled when Windows XP enters the standby or hibernation state.
Resolution:
To resolve this situation, you should perform download and install the latest hotfix for Windows XP. Restart the system after installing the hotfix. The problem would be resolved if it is an LBA-related problem.
However, if the hard disk is getting corrupt then this might not prove fruitful in long run. In such cases, you should use a third-party hard drive data recovery software to recover the inaccessible data. Such hard drive recovery tools use fast yet sophisticated scanning algorithms that ensure safe and secure recovery of hard disk data.
