hello,
i just got this toshiba satellite duo core centrino.

However, anytime i put it in standby or hibernation, it never comes back on, when i move my mouse or press the power button

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas whats wrong here ?

Seems to be a driver problem.

yeah, update all your drivers from toshiba's site. btw, standby and hibernate are pretty flakey on all flavors of laptops running windows.

sleep - machine technically still "on" with a small trickle of electricity keeping things alive.

hibernate - all contents of RAM written to a disk file and then powered down. Machine is "off".

Sleep = Human resting State
Hibernate = Bear's resting state

you didn't say it had to be in the context of Intel CPU's :-)

Sleep = 4 margaritas
Hibernate = 14 margaritas

Sleep = dozy machine, may or not wake up

Don't worry head. The computer will do all the thinking from now on.

You're all wrong - although of course, there are so many ways to calculate difference.

Reviewing the contest:
the difference between sleep and hiberante
restated as:
sleep-hibernate=X solve X


SET NOCOUNT ON
PRINT	'Calculate difference based on Ascii String value of Sleep and Hibernate'
DECLARE @position int, @string varchar(15), @NumberString varchar(100), @SleepValueF float, @HibValueF float
SET @position = 1
SET @string = 'sleep'
SET @NumberString = ''
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@string) BEGIN
	SELECT @NumberString = @NumberString + STR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)))
	SET @position = @position + 1
END
SELECT @SleepValuef = CONVERT (float, replace(@NumberString,' ',''))

SET @position = 1
SET @string = 'hiernate'
SET @NumberString = ''
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@string) BEGIN
	SELECT @NumberString = @NumberString + STR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)))
	SET @position = @position + 1
END
SELECT @HibValuef = CONVERT (float, replace(@NumberString,' ',''))
SELECT @SleepValuef AS 'Sleep Ascii String',@HibValuef AS 'Hibernate Ascii String',@SleepValuef-@HibValuef 'Ascii String Difference'
--OR
PRINT	'Calculate difference based on Ascii sum value of Sleep and Hibernate'
DECLARE @SleepValueB bigint, @HibValueB bigint
SET @position = 1
SET @string = 'sleep'
SET @SleepValueB = 0
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@string) BEGIN
	SELECT @SleepValueB = @SleepValueb + (ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)))
	SET @position = @position + 1
END
SET @position = 1
SET @string = 'hiernate'
SET @HibValueb = 0
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@string) BEGIN
	SELECT @HibValueb = @HibValueb + (ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)))
	SET @position = @position + 1
END

SELECT @SleepValueb AS 'Sleep Ascii Sum',@HibValueb AS 'Hibernate Ascii Sum',@SleepValueb-@HibValueb AS 'Ascii sum difference'
