Standby Causes Crash

[Mike950]

I'm having some problems with my computer crashing when I use the System
Standby setting in Power Options. I currently have it set to go into System
Standby after 30 minutes. When I try to turn the computer back on when it is
in standby mode, the desktop shows up for a second, then the system reboots
and when Windows loads, I get the "Windows has recovered from a serious
......" Error Report.

Any ideas on how to correct this problem will be appreciated. Thanks.

Use one of these three options.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Settings/Advanced/Change.

1. Set Page File to 0, ok your way out and reboot. Then follow the same
procedure and reset the Page File to System Managed File.

2. No Page File. Reboot. Then delete C:\Pagefile.Sys then revert the page
file setting.

3. Set the swap file size to zero, reboot. Re-set to System Managed,
reboot. Reset the Custom setting, reboot.

You Receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" Message After
Every Restart

On the hardware side, it can be a bad power supply. I know, because
it happened to me. I started getting crashing after returning from
Standby, and I could hear funny sounds coming from my computer
speakers. A new power supply, and the problem was fixed. A post
mortem of the power supply (don't try it), showed leaking
caps on the output side of the supply. If left for a few
more weeks, eventually the power supply would "pop".

It is also possible for the other hardware components,
like CPU or RAM, to have stability problems, or even for
the BIOS to be responsible, for improperly configuring
the hardware. If that was the case, you might see
problems at times other than the return from Standby.
Like crashing as soon as the CPU was loaded up with work.
