Intermittent standby or hibernation issue

R

Rich

I'm running XP SP2 fully updated. In Power Properties I have my HD's
and monitor to shut down after 5 min and the system go into Standby
after 10 min and finally go into hibernation after 20 minutes.

Sometimes it all works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't
work, the monitor shuts down. I'm not sure about the HD's because the
case fans are still running and masking any noise from the HDs.

The system seems to take 30 seconds or so to 'come back' so I'm not
sure what state it is in.

For sure, there is still fans running and the system is definitely not
in hibernation.

Anyone know of common causes? I've searched MS but come up empty.

TIA, Rich

Thanks, but I have just 512Mb and I do keep the HD defragged and the
temp folder clean. It doesn't look like this Hotfix would help.
