D.Arbib Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 XPpro/SP3/IE7 I find that when Standby is activated computer shuts down OK, but will never re-open leaving a black screen from which there is no escape other than a "hard" shut down with disconnection from the mains supplyHibernation, on the other hand, works completely normally and asks to sign in as is usualMotherboard M3N-HT with AMD quad CPUI have not tried this in Vista Ultimate 32 or 64 bitAnyone know why this is happening?

infiniti25 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Could be windows based could be bios based.If you look in the bios under power management there are some options that look like S3 STR and POS. Read more about those and they may be whats wrong with your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Arbib Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 IN BIOS the "Oower" page with Advanced configuration and Power Interface is set to the default "S1&S3" I have tried either S1 or S3 alone and neither made any difference to Standby.I believe there is something in SP3 which causes the problem as I recall in the days pf SP2 there was no such problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infiniti25 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There have been a number of fixes provided over windows update over the years relating to Resuming from Sleep/Standby so I doubt "in the days pf SP2 there was no such problem". I don't have time to search for more information tonight but if one of the more knowledgeable people doesn't drop by before I read this post tomorrow I will look deeper for you.
