Standby and hibernate fails on 2nd try

I have an Acer Travelmate 4050 with XP-home. At some time the
standby/hibernate started to fail. The strange thing is that after a
fresh reboot I can do one standby or hibernate successfully, but the
second time I try the notebook freezes. So effectively I have to turn of
the PC normally each time I use it and by doing this I looses many of
the advantages of having a notebook.

I have tried to do a complete defragmentation (using PerfectDisk) and
before that deleted a lot of files. There is 8GB in free disk capacity,
so this should not be the problem, and the fact that the first
standby/hibernate works fine also seems to indicate that this is not due
to lack of disk space.

I could go back to an older restore point of course, but I would really
try to avoid this as this problem has been there for over a year.

Hope for some ideas on how to trouble shoot or fix this issue.

Anyone? How can I troubleshoot/repair the standby/hibernate utility?
Thanks!
