Often times my Inspiron 6000 with 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon X300 is rather slow to enter into hibernation, and I am not sure why. Other times, it's virtually instant. I don't know if that's related to the problem in the subject, but often when I resume from hibernation, the display takes a while to show anything, and when it finally does, I get the following error:
Windows - Display Driver Stopped Responding
The ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally. Save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. The next time you rebook the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft.
I close the dialogue, and things all seem to work fine. Other than the error when I resume my computer, things appear to work just as before, but it's troubling, and perhaps this is related to slow hibernation. I have had problems with the display going all weird on me after resuming from hibernation before that I attributed to overclocking a bit with ATITool, but in this case, I'm definitely not overclocking anything.
I found a really long thread about this somewhere, but I'm hoping that it's a trivial fix. I do have the latest updates for windows and drivers for everything from Dell, so please don't bother with that suggestion, unless you want to suggest that a downgrade might help.
Thanks for any info...
