Sorry. I don't know the term "chipset driver" and it wasn't listed in any of the support pages in my computer. I checked out the device manager and there seemed to be no immediate problems (though I only checked the properties of those things that seemed hard drive related). Any specific suggestions or recommedation of anywhere online that would address these issues would be great.
The drivers for the 850 and 850E chipsets (which the Dimension 8200 uses) are native to Windows XP and were installed when you reinstall the operating system. I could not find any reference for troubleshooting Advanced Power Management (APM) on XP systems. It is probably little comfort to know that both standby and hibernate modes are notoriously unreliable on desktop systems.

When you reinstalled Windows, did you install the chipset drivers? If you look in Device Manager, are there any problem devices listed?
