I got what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure my cpu never goes over 38c on loading. Also, I watched it for a while, and it bounced between 43-44c, and never went lower. I would expect it to drop faster than that. So, I don't know what was happening.

I'll have to try that tweak on my laptop. It's interesting that sometimes it resumes from hibernation in a matter of 30 seconds or less, and at other times it takes as long as a full boot up.

(I used to keep my desktop on standby mode when I wasn't using it. My computer was on the second floor of the old house I was living in, which was about half a block from the railroad tracks. The house wasn't exactly structurally sound, and every time a train went by, the computer would wake-up and resume Windows. Worst part was a train came by about every 20 minutes... that poor little Celeron processor really got a workout!)

Yeah maybe a bug too, you know like it resumes but the fan won't spin full speed for some reason. *shrugs*

Anytime I have "accidentally" used standby, I have usually had to hard power down the system just to get it back. Standby has never worked across 6 different machines varying from XP Pro to Home, 1.8GHz to E6600

I know whenever it's been used on our LT, it always seems to mess it up and for some reason the performance is never as good as when it's powered up with a cold boot.

If it's not fixed, then don't broke it!
