joemoe38 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 My computer running winxp mce sp3 will not return from standby or hibernate. Power light stays onbut monitor remains blank except for a blue line across the top and the power light. I have to turn off the computer usingthe power button and then start up again and everything is back to normal. Have tried every combinationof power settings to no avail. Would appreciate any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JedMeister Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Has it always been like this and you've just decided to do something about it? Did it suddenly start doing this sometime recently for no apparent reason? When you say you've tried all available power setting options did you mean in the BIOS too? I would run memtest too, to check that your ram is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this problem happen to several Dell laptops before with no solution ever working (including re-install). Seems to be more hardware related.

cwroten Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hello Joemoe38,Did you ever find an answer to this problem? I just got bitby the same problem about a week ago on my Windows XP3system after using Microsoft Update to get the latest NVIDIA6150 drivers. Now neither hibernate nor stand-by works - sameresult as yours - black screen with thin blue line on top. Rolledback the drivers too but that did not help.

cwroten Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Problem solved! On a whim, I reinstalled the NVIDIA 6150 driversthat came with my ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard w/ NVIDIA GeForce6150 integrated video. Hibernate now works again. So, the MicrosoftUpdate drivers for the NVIDIA 6150 are not appropriate for all 6150owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemoe38 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thanks cwroten. I went to HP driver downloads and downloaded the driverdated 2006 for NVIDIA 6150 and now my computer returns from hibernate.Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
