Dell Inspiron 2600 + Windows XP - hangs while coming out of Standby mode

[Saby]

Thought I would share this finding..
I have a Dell Inspiron 2600 with Windows XP SP1. I've been battling
with an issue where the system would hang while coming out of Standby
mode. I would get the logon screen, could successfully login and get
the desktop, but at this point, the taskmanager would show CPU at 100%
taken by the "System" process. Eventually I would have to power down
the laptop.

I installed all the latest OS and driver updates without any
resolution.

Recently, I noticed that this issue happens "only" if I have the
laptop powered up through the electrical outlet. If I have it running
off the batteries, it comes out of standby without any issues. So my
resolution.. take off the power input to the laptop when it comes out
of Standby... has been working great for me. I know there has to be a
better solution somewhere out there...

Thanks.

Yeah, check your power supply.
