RE: XP hangs up at Standby request

I'm having a similar problem when my laptop comes out of hibernation. The
screen flickers briefly, then goes completely dark, and I have to reboot by
holding the power button for several seconds.

I recently updated my power management registry because it would't save new
settings, but this black-out problem just started this week.

I don't know how to update bios or reinstall drivers.
