Why not try it? Let it sit for 3 hours and see what happens?
Or just set your power supply for 4 hours?
Due to the fact that my Intel D945GCLF2 takes so much time to wake up from hiberbation, I use standby.
To avoid battery drains out I use XP's powerscheme.
This is how I configurated it:
System goes in to standby after : 3 hours (this must be filled otherwise it doesn't work, even if system goes into standby after I shut down the engine)
System hibernate after : 4 hours.
So what happens now is that when I leave the car system goes into standby.
If I use the car within a period of 4 hours system wakes up from standby.
(longest that I used the car while system it's on standby is 1 hour)
If I dont use the car at all, next morning when I go to work system wakes up from hibernation.
So if system stays 4 hours on standby, XP wakes it up to hibernate right away.
My question now is: how is XP able to wake system up if I have my M2-ATX configurated as follow:
Off delay : 5 seconds
Hard off : 2 hours
I thought that to be able to wake the system up, while engine is not running, I need to have at least 5v
And as far as I now 5V is cut off after 2 hours by the powersuplly
I never thought about it until a collegue of my started to ask me about my car system and I opend the M2-ATX manual.

Okay
To do a test, I started my CarPC 2,5 hours before I finish at work.
When I started the car at the end of my shift system woke up from HIBERNATIO instead of standby?
That means that the powersupply cut all the power to the CarPC.
But what I do not understand is, how it is possible that system comes up from hibernation and des not do a clean start??
I know that Vista has the feature that when you use standby it also writes the same information to the HD in case of power lost.
But as far as I know does XP not have this function.
Or does it have something similer that I do not knwo about.
Hope someone can explain me that

I'm also interested. Your M2 should be cutting power. UNLESS, you have have XP set to hibernate when the power button is hit, which is what the M2 does when you turn the car off.
As long as the computer is in standby, it is still drawing power for the memory.

Yes, the computer will draw power while in standby, but the M2 will do a hard-off after a time set by the placement of jumpers on it. In this case, 2 hours after the ignition is shut off. With his power settings this way, it should be shutting down the PC in a way that is similar to uplugging your computer while you're using it. This is why I mentioned to check to see what XP will do when the power button is pressed. If it's set to hibernate when you push the button, that would explain this behavior.
Oh I see what you're saying somehow I read that as you had it set to turn off the power supply when the computer hadn't been on for 2 hours. My bad.

Your M2 is not shutting off like it should be. That's the ONLY way this could be happening.

I told XP to go into standby as soon as I touch the power button.And that's also what happends when I stop the engine.
This morning I started the car and systen woke up from hibernation like it should.
Very strange that somehow XP manage to send all information thats on his memory to the HD while the M2 does a Hardoff after 2 hours.

Amazing? It'd be a damn miracle! Your M2 is NOT giving the Hard Off when it's supposed to be. It may not be giving a hard off EVER. Not a big deal if you drive it every day, but it could be a problem if it sits for more than a couple of days...
