Windows XP freezing after the computer goes into the powersave mode

[jhk83]

About a week ago, my computer starting freezing after the computer went into powersave mode. My hard drive light indicator was going ballistic and I couldn't get the computer to come back on. Eventually, I had to rebbot the system. I thought it might be video driver, so I updated the driver.....still have. I unistalled some of the hotfixes, but I still seem to have the problem. If anyone has any suggestion or if anyone has had this problem, please offer me some advice.

Thanks

Had the same problem. I disabled the powersave mode, while keeping the powersave for the monitor. Of course you could always turn off the computer when you aren't going to use it for hours.

My ThinkPad had a BIOS update to correct a problem like that, you might want to see if there are any BIOS updates for your motherboard.
