XP pro won't resume after hibernate.

themarcus

Hi, I'm running xp pro on an mv mobeus laptop (basically one of these). It has a 1.8Ghz Pentium M and 1 Gb ram.

Every time I turn it back on after hibernation it shows the black screen with the white loading bar at the bottom. When the bar completes nothing happens - it just stays like that until I remove the battery. It won't even respond to F8 to see options.

I reformated the drive and reinstalled XP pro and all updates. FOr some reason its still happening though. Is this a hardware problem? A bios problem??

Try this hotfix (Although its for a different issue...it might help seeing as you have 1GB of ram)

I've generally found with these issue that its the BIOS or a hardware (usually chipset) driver that needs updating.
As well as following the other two posters advice, make sure you have the latest bios releas for your machine as well as the most recent drivers for your hardware.
