[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 798540, member: 57999"] I recently swapped out the motherboard in my HTPC because the old one was not compatible with my new tuner. I didn't reinstall Windows (XP Home), just uninstalled/reinstalled the chipset drivers to see if I could get away with it. Well, I thought I'd been lucky, but the system will not go into standby or hibernate now. It usually gives a BSOD, but sometimes just hangs on the "preparing to hibernate" screen. I've tried all the hints I can find on the web, fiddled with S3/S1 settings in the BIOS, played with MCE Standby Tool, deleted hiberfil.sys, etc etc. I know I should really just reinstall, but does anybody know of a cunning way to find out WHICH driver (or whatever) is causing the error? The only thing I can find from the event log messages is that it's "probably a bad driver". Is there a way of logging the shutdown like with the bootlog? Normal shutdown works fine, BTW. And so does log off. Any genius hints before I give up and reinstall? (and then possibly find it still doesn't work!) Rob [/QUOTE]
