    When i try to suspend or hibernate the screen goes black and nothing occurs. the system stop responding and a hard reset is necessary to recover it.
    i have tried with 165 and 160.03 drivers from nvidia with no results. also updating bios to version 203.

    i read it can be solved with some specific nvidia drivers.

    PLEASE, anyone who has XP installed can tell me with version of drivers fix the problem?

    Thx

    Hi, this is not a Video card problem.
    Some program or service does not shut down. Usually there will be a message: "This service is not plug and play..", or "Windows can not terminate process.. " or "Some other program is preventing from shutdown..."
    Check how many Services are active and stop one by one until you find the one which giving the above message and preventing Standby mode.

    Standby is also useless for me in Vista x64 with a 100% clean install :( For now I have sleep disabled.

    I think this is a common problem, nobody has it resolved? I´ve tried with nvidia drivers 160.03, 165.01 and 158.51.
    Anyone has got a drivers version which does not produced this error?

    KB923232 has not fix it neither.
