    Swapped out the HDD in new Dell L502x for Crucial M4.

    Everything is fine except hibernation. When I hibernate all seems normal and the pc shuts down. When I resume though it hangs on the Windows Resuming screen and requires a normal reboot.

    This may be unrelated to M4 so will ask in Dell forum too but this is first SSD so wondering if any others have seen this / know a fix / have any suggestions.

    Thanks, M

    UPDATE: Solved - resume fails when external usb drive attached. Disconnecting fixes it - now to find out why.

    UPDATE: Only fails with USB3 hdd attached - usb2 devices are fine. No idea why.
