Hi Joe,

Despite appearances, the problem may lie with the external devices. The
normal cause of problems with the hibernate or standby function is driver(s)
that do not properly support it. Since most laptops are equipped with driver
sets that do, the most likely suspects are the added hardware. Try a simple
test, disconnect all the peripherals and see if the problem is still there.
