I havent been following your whole journey, but isnt it the settings that caused the issues. Probably wouldve been easier to format and reinstall or do a clean install. Make sure to back up all the naughty stuff so you dont have to request Shino for them again.
I did do a clean install. I have to figure which USB I have plugged in that is preventing my computer from booting up.
Something plugged in with the USB hub is preventing my computer from booting, cause once I remove it, it boots. But that doesn't confirm my hibernate/sleep problem yet.
I should also note that the power supply doesn't even power on when the USB is plugged in. Once I remove it, it powers up.
Your troubleshooting seems so unorthodox! Like H! said, let's start with a baseline and that includes removing all your peripherals like the use of USB hubs.
Like I said, I already restored my bios and power settings to default. I'm literally running the same physical setup like I did in 7. Same ports for usb, etc.
Yo, I have the same issue too with USB sticks/devices.... it's to do with their format. If it's not formatted properly with a boot partition/boot img it prevents my notebook from booting up at all. if I remove it then restart, it works just fine.. not sure how that affects sleep/hibernate though
It has NOTHING to do with your BIOS setting with your boot priorities. Why? Because with the USB hub plugged in, the computer won't even power on. My computer booted up fine this morning. But when I went to hibernate last night, about 30 minutes into the hibernation, it booted up by itself. I was scared shitless for half a second cause it booted up by itself when I was already in bed. Didn't have the patience to set it to hibernate again, so I just held the power button to turn it off.
Nope, I had that installed when I restarted my computer from setting my power and BIOS setting to default
Hmm.. Then I'm not sure what might be causing it to start up randomly... On mine, it rebooted/started up because of a stupid update when I set my computer to sleep mode, so that's why I was wondering if it had any pending updates.
kinda super weird though Jeff your situation got me intrigued so i started to google around... there's some mentions of hibernations not waking up again but not related to usb or anything... not 100% sure whats goign on with your setup though
