My home built PC will not recover from going into standby. It goes into standby with no problems but when it is woken up the CPU and HDD etc all start but the screens stay blank. The only way round this I have found is to restart the machine using the reset button. Specs: C2D 6400 Gigabyte GA 945PL-S3 BIOS Version F2 Gigabyte Radeon HD 4350 2 GB 6400 RAM XP Pro 5.1, Build 2600 Can anybody tell me how to sort this out and make minor progress to saving the planet and containing my electric bill.
use shutdown instead XD unless it's vista the hibernate works fine- it's like a shutdown only it restarts in a quickboot back where you left off
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried hibernate which does work but it is slower than standby would be. I would prefer to get standby working if I can. I have another machine running XP Home on a Gigabyte mobo and that goes into and out of standby with no trouble.
yeah sleep is picky.. you look in device manager and turn off power saving mode on anything you can- other than that, look at the mb makers website for a bios upgrade
