Opening my 1100's lid when not in standby sometimes causes blue screen / memory dump crash (bsod)
I have an 1100 with an XGA screen; it's about a year and a half old now.
Frequently I close the lid of the laptop when I'm working just to protect the keyboard and screen from spills, flying squirrels, whatnot, without putting the laptop in standby. When I re-open the screen, the image always comes back up just fine, but then:
...always, the screen will flicker to black for about half-a-second. This is annoying, but liveable. However, a small percentage of the time...
...when the screen flickers back, it crashes the laptop completely, sending it to a blue screen / memory dump.
I have the most current BIOS installed. Any ideas what's causing this? And how it can be remedied?
Thanks, all!

If none of the above helps, try Windows XP Service Pack 2 from Microsoft. I doubt that it is directly related to this, but it fixes a number of problems and may help.

Thanks for your reply.
I have SP2. My driver was fine according to Windows Update, but I went to Intel's site and downloaded a much newer driver from there. We'll see if it makes a difference; I'll report back after its been installed for a while.
