    Does anybody have problems with standby or hibernation-function?

    If my E6500 with XPprSP3 is switched to the standby-modus (via Fn+F1 oder by closing the cover) the screen stays black after wake-up with the power-button - and the system probably freezes.

    Switching with Fn+F8 the displays-mode results on the notebookdisplay to a failure-screen with pink and blue beams. But the harddisk is still running.
    So you have to do a hard-shutdown via powerbutton to restart the system.

    Any clues?

    Perhaps you can try install the latest video driver. I solved the same problem by doing this.
