Hibernation & Suspend on 4780

Thread Starter 
Has anyone gotten either of these to work succesfully? When I suspend and resume my screen won't turn back on and when I hibernate and resume I get nothing but my wallpaper and nothing else loads back up. I've only had my 4780 two weeks and its a fresh xp pro install from the day I got it. Any tips / thoughts? Also in another note -- I had a dead pixel when it arrived and allthough I read differently on a post from this forum Sager told me only if it had 6 dead pixels would the do anything about it -- lame but I guess thats just the way it goes (isnt the industry standard 5? I know hp will do it for even less even on refurbished if you talk to their business tech support and not regular consumer)

i had the same problem when my 4780 went into standby, it wouldnt wake up. turns out sager sent the wrong memory. i had ddr333 when i ordered ddr400. they cross shipped me the new memory and of course i had to pay for shipping the old memory back. but anyway, got the new memory and everything works fine now so check your memory.

Standby and suspend work just fine here. Suspend will ocassionally hang if I've got something strange plugged into the USB hub, but otherwise no problems.

Can you hear your HDD "spin up" when you turn it back on?

yes -- it spins up. chugs for a bit and seems like its loading something but i get nothing. just my wallpaper and the mouse cursor which works but right click does nothing -- ctrl alt delete does nothing... only thing i can do at that point its shut it off and start again.

if anyone still cares and hopefully this helps someone else later on with the same problem. the sysadmin at my work suggested i get the latest network drivers for the realtek on board 10/100 in my 4780. i am honestly not sure what the connection is between that and hibernation / suspend ( i am guessing it has something to do with closing down network connections ) but it fixed all such problems.

I had the same problem on mine (4780) and I only had to update the GPU drivers to the latest Catalyst. It has been working perfectly since then...

Hope it helps
