Vista Tutorial - Vista S3 resume from sleep problem

Hi,

My Vista 64 machine (Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5 mobo, Q6600 cpu, 8GB ram,
Radeon HD2400 vga card) has a problem when it resumes from sleep.
There is a protracted (3 seconds) buzzing noise and then the display
shows a vertical pattern of narrow red and white stripes and the
machine hangs. Only a reset will get it to reboot - the keyboard is
completely dead.

Any advice ?

Thanks,

Mike

I should say that there is an installation of XP Pro 32 on the same
machine which resumes without problem.

Update your drivers. I had a similar problem with a different motherboard
and a Radeon 3450, resolved when Catalyst 8.6 was installed.

GFX drivers and then see what Windows update says.. sometimes you can get a
Microsoft driver that will be more stable (in my experience) but not as good
performace wise- so the best bet is to go for ATI.

Well, I downloaded version 8.6 of the ATI driver suite and that has
indeed fixed my problem.

Many thanks to all who replied,
