760ED Suspend & Hibernation Features



I'm confused now after installing the latest BIOS on my 760ED, just 
how to envoke the suspend or hibernation from windows 95?  We observe 
some bad behavior:

1.  sometimes the machine goes into suspend (observing the middle 
     green light is lit, cover closed, then it will suddenly "wake 
     up" without opening the cover, then shut down for several 
     minute, then wake up again.

2.  sometimes we bring the machine up from a cold start, go into 
     windows 95, use a program for a while, and the machine goes into 
     suspend by itself.  We shut down, come back up and sometimes the 
     behavior repeats, sometimes we are OK for a couple of days.

This is really a pain for my wife when she is using it for 
text-to-speech in public.  She depends on the machine to speak for 
her and is frustrated because she feels it is something she is doing. 
In these cases she is using it on battery power, and it is true that 
she has this occur more than me, so we are given to believe being off 
the power mains is part of the problem.  

We lived with this for 6 months of ownership while using the original 
BIOS that came with the machine because we read of others 
experiencing similar symptoms.  Then several months ago we heard 
about the new BIOS, loaded it, and thought things were OK, but not 
so.  Now the symptoms are less frequent, but troublesome none the 
less.  Does anyone have a suggestion, please?
