I think it might have had something to do with the network adapter, because
on occasion the laptop would loose internet connectivity upon resume fromstandby(instead of the blue screen crash I previously described). However,
reinstalling the latest available drivers from Dell did not help. Now that I
removed sp3, everything is fine.

I've also uninstalled SP3, but the problem has not gone away. Going
into Standby mode was flawless under SP2 before, more so than going
into Hibernate. I fixed up Hibernate sometime ago, and now that's
working flawlessly. Then some time later I installed SP3, and Standby
started acting up (but Hibernate remained fine). So I uninstalled SP3,
but Standby is still acting the way it did under SP3. Looks like SP3
screwed up something in the settings which it did not undo even after
being uninstalled. I might as well go back to SP3 and await a solution
a few months down the road.
