Blank screen when resume from Hibernate

[Guest]

My new computer gives a blank screen when it resumes from Hibernation. The fans come on and the system COULD be running but the screen is blank.

When I then press the power button for 4 seconds to shut the system off and then re-power up, I get what seems to be a Hibernation resume. (Internet Explorer that I had running earlier was on the screen).

I have the following hardware: Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboard, Athlon 64 CPU, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600, 160 GB parallel IDE HD, Hauppauge TV tuner, 6 in 1 card reader. I've downloaded all the latest drivers (esp. the video card).

What could be causing this? Any suggestions for a fix?
Could it be my BIOS settings (I tried the "Video Repost on S3 resume" in the BIOS already).


Thank You

I had a chance to do some additional testing tonight.
If I turn off the APM features in the BIOS and just enable the ACPI features
then hibernation seems to work again.

I'm not sure why. For the sake of everyone's future reference can anyone outline
when ACPI is used, when APM is used, and when both are to be enabled.
At the moment, I'm not sure what functionality I have lost with disabling APM in the BIOS.

One side effect that I found, probably since I set ACPI in the BIOS to S3 suspend instead of "S1 (POS) + S3", is I get a Win XP 'bubble' stating that I have a Hi-Speed USB device attached to a non-Hi-Speed USB port. This occurs after I do a SUSPEND (not Hibernation).

Seems like my Multi-card reader (or the USB 2.0 driver in XP) doesn't like S3 suspend wakeup.

Actually, ACPI replaced MPS. APM is Advanced Power Management and just
allows for controlling how the computer conserves energy (ie. disabling
things that aren't used, turning off the monitor, etc.). APM in your
BIOS is no longer really necessary to play with as Windows is able to
handle this for you. What happens (depending on ACPI revision supported
by your motherboard) is that it will sometimes overrule the Operating
System or even cause conflicts. Hibernate is a tricky little bugger,
but I love the ability to resume so quickly
