Cannot Standby/Hibinate with Dell Inspiron 1300

This is really bugging me

I try to standby or hibernate and it just moves onto a black screen (monitor doesnt turn off though). Around 10-30 minutes later, the blue screen death appears for a second and the computer prematurely switches off. Next time I start the computer (during booting), I'm greeted by the startup options menu (Safe mode, etc) and I can sturt up the computer normally and a critical error report is sent to Microsoft.

Now, I've searched to see if anybody is having the same problems and none of them seem to be very much like mine.

Any help whatsoever would be great!

Thankyou very much

James

Check Problem Reports and Solutions in the control panel to see if it references your standby problem there.

Error report summary

Error type: Windows stop error (A message appears on a blue screen with error code information) Solution available? No (see Next steps) What does this error mean? Windows has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart Cause: Unknown device driver Computer symptoms: A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) Additional steps: Important: Please continue to send error reports so analysts at Microsoft can study and try to correct the problem as quickly as possible

Information about this error

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.

Next steps

We have analyzed your error report and at this time are unable to determine the exact cause of the error. However, Microsoft will continue to analyze this error report to try to determine the specific cause of the error. If we are able to find the cause and correct it, and you encounter the same problem, you will receive an updated response that includes instructions for resolving the problem.

Now, none of that gives me any help whatsoever. Its actually quite useless. I DO know that it is something to do with Vista. This is because it used to work perfectly with XP Home.

I hope somebody can halp me in the near future.

Hi James,

What it means is that one or more of your device drivers is not supporting the standby or hibernate modes under Vista. Updating system drivers to manufacturer-supplied ones that support Vista is the most likely resolution, but you may find that not all manufacturers have these released yet. The drivers supplied with Vista provide basic function, but may not support advanced power saving features. This is not unusual during betas.

James: With Vista x64 driver signing is required before the driver is installed, with 32-bit Vista driver signing isn't required. The drivers are different for Vista than XP, some drivers will function for both OS. Since all Vista drivers are still beta drivers, there are still driver errors, video driver problems are very common. The 'sleep" function in Vista x64 is a combination standby/hibernate function works properly with full system response within a couple seconds and with no blue screens. The only bug that I found and filed is that after using the "sleep" mode to turn off or restart the computer you have to hit the shutdown or restart button then put the computer back to sleep and wake it up for the requested action to function. I think that the cause is related to an installed program because when recording the bug duplication everything functions properly.
