While I hope this problem will become irrelevant in a couple of weeks when I upgrade, it bugs me enough that I need to ask:
If I set my system power settings to go into standby mode after some time, it seems to successfully get into standby mode (LED flashing, system seems quiet). However, when I bring it back up, the CPU seems stuck in one of its exceptionally slow states, so much so that it can't even track the mouse properly. Reboot, and it seems to work fine again.
This is an Asus P5A with a 380MHz K6-2, no overclocking. It's Windows ME (though I had similar behavior in W98). At the moment, I'm using a pure MS installation (no Ali driver updates installed), but again, I had similar behavior back on W98 with the drivers. I don't think I have any of the power saver BIOS settings in use, but I'd have to check to be sure; I'm pretty sure this is pure MS software controlling the standby state.
Thanks,
Gary
