System freezes up on standby, help!
My XPS T550 has just recently started to freeze up when it goes into standby mode. I am getting tired of restarting my machine!! How do I fix this? I have already reinstalled the APM Drivers. Thanks Brian

the OS they are under obligation to support it.
What crap.
Dell has now gone the way of Compaq, HP and
Toshiba. No support. No Help. Long hold times
and zero front end intelligent technical support.
I am about to call them to report how this machine
has frozen on shutdown from day 1.
No doubt they will blame an application program.
I don't care, I am just calling them so I can tell
my attorney I have done so. Per his request.
Good luck.
PS - you might try linux, it does not have these
problems.

Secondly, any screensavers you may have running will more than likely interfere with power management settings. Get rid of your screensavers. You don't need them and they cause more trouble than they are worth, in my opinion.
I use the Power Management features to turn off my monitor and power down my hard drive ONLY. I do not use the standby settings at all. This works perfectly for me.
Hope this helps you with your problem.

However, Dan is right. I don't use screensavers and I am ok with the Power Management settings. The moment I try to use the screensaver it work fine couple of days and suddenly I get an error message, particularly with the 'Flying Windows".

When I first got my Dell it was one of the first things I went to so I could power down at night. It doesn't work and that's with Screen Savers off. I just leave it on 24x7 no problem and use my screen Savers. I'm sure this will be figured out some day. Funny that's the only reliable thing which works on my Comcrap is to fall asleep and wakeup out side of that PWEEUE. Go figure.
Love my Dell
