xp sp3 standby resumes ok after short interval (eg 5 mins) but serious error and reboot after long delay
I'm not sure I understand your question.. can you explain it a bit more in detail?
Hi sbcc_jackal,
I can enter standby ok every time; if I resume after a short interval (eg up to 5 minutes) the system resumes as expected. If I leave the PC in standby for a longer period (eg 20 mins or more) it either has a serious error and reboots or hangs with some disk activity but a blank screen (not a bsod) so I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas?
Regards, B10
Are you asking about a laptop? If not, why are you using standby?
It's a desktop - I want to use standby to speed up shutdown & reboot if using the pc multiple times in a day without wasting power unecessarily. My question is why does it work after 5 minutes but not 30 minutes??
