Vista - Hibernate or Standby not working

In Windows XP, hibernating worked great, but standby just crashed my
machine.

Now, on a fresh install of Vista 5384, neither the new Sleep, nor the old
Hibernate, works, I just get weird graphics on the screen... Have tried
changing BIOS settings between S3 and S1 but no luck

My Specs:

Gigabyte GA7VAX m/b
Athlon XP 2500 w/1.5 Gb RAM
GeForce 5200 w/128Mb RAM
Dual Monitors (1 DVI, 1 VGA)

Any help?

Thanks,

Pete

Works just fine here, it was horrendous in build 5381. I had to rush out of
the office yesterday, just closed the lid, when I reached home and opened
up, it resumed just fine, took about 2 minutes, but it did resume.

Ach, I know exactly what you mean Andre - it works absolutely fine here, but
5381 and 5308 - yeeesshk :-o
I could have pulled a better hibernating system out of my arse!

I'm unable to use Hibernate or Sleep as they both switch off the screen on my
notebook, but the PC remains on in an apparent crashed state. The only way
for me to get out of this state is to hold the power button down until the PC
switches itself off. When it restarts, Vista is restarted - losing all my
work.

Any ideas?

I just installed build 5284 a couple of nights ago and sleep doesn't seem to
be working for me, either. I have a Dell 8300 desktop with an NVidia GeForce
Fx 5200 graphics card. It has been working fine for the past three years on
XP. On Vista, I can put the system into sleep mode, but when I resume, the
display won't come up. The system clearly wakes up, but I get nothing on the
screen. I have to do a full re-boot in order to get the display back.

I did download and install the new Beta 2 drivers from the NVidia web site,
but it didn't seem to make a difference. So I'm at a loss right now. Any
recommendations (other than changing the power settings to keep the system
from ever entering sleep state, which I've already done)?

Add another one to the list! I'm running a Thinkpad T42p, and I've got the
ATI Catalyst drivers installed. System sleeps ok, but when I try to bring it
back up the display stays blank. I still see blinky lights that indicate I'm
getting harddrive activity, but it will not wake my external display, nor
will the laptop display turn on.

Same problems here. Dell 600M does the exact same thing. I it doens't do
well with hibernate or sleep. It has come out of it a few times but I would
say at least ninety percent of the time it fails and I have to do hard
reboot. Hope they get this fixed asap.
