Problems with waking up from standby...

[vvulture]

Hi all..
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

When i put my server into standby, i can wake it up manually no problems with WOL or by pushing the power button.

However, when the SageTV Service tries to wake up the server for a scheduled recording, the machines powers on ok, but i get a black screen and i can't do anything. Almost as if the machine is in a half awake and half asleep state, and nothing i do or press will fully awaken it.
Also, the scheduled recording does not record.
Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work.
Soft reset required at this stage.

Any ideas ?

Like i said, manually waking up the machine works.. it's only when SageTV Service tries to wake it up that the problem occurs.

thank you

Don't know why, but had to roll back to previous video card driver ( the one installed with XP ).
The problem seemed to have been caused by the latest drivers from Nvidia.

cheers.

May I ask what Nvidia drivers are you referring to? Also what version?

I occasionally run into this problem my self. Maybe I can try your solutions?

Hey Vincent,

I was using the latest drivers on the nVidia website, Forceware 93.71 for WinXP.
The card i am using is GeForce 2 MX400 64Mb ram. Thats all i need since it is only a server, and it actually runs SageMC very well...

When i ran into problems, i rolled back to the drivers that were installed by WinXP during installation. These drivers are dated 7/04/2004.

cheers
