Is there a mechanism on these community boards for us to attach a document where each person could paste the information from their event viewer showing what was happening when the computer went into hibernation? While the unexpected and inappropriate hibernation
is common to everyone here, it appears to arise in a variety of circumstances -- some while on battery only, some while plugged in; some while playing games, some while the computer is doing nothing; etc. (According
to the entries on my event viewer, my surface pro went into hibernation when it experienced a "critical thermal event." Note that the alleged increase in temperature (or the defect in the sensor
that made the computer think the temp went up) occurred at night when the computer was idle. There is no reason for it to be overheating.) It might be helpful to have a single source where all of the circumstances under which the computer went into hibernation
are listed in a single place.
For folks who do not know about the event viewer, it is a log of various things your computer is doing. You can access the event viewer by right clicking on the start button and then double clicking on
the "event viewer." On the left hand side, click on and expand "Windows Logs." Then, again on the left hand side, click on "System." This is where you will find the log of events related to your hibernation. On the right hand side, you can filter events to
show errors, critical events or warnings. Anyone who posts here about their computer going into hibernation should look at the event viewer and include that information in their post.
