Standby and resume problems 

If the computer takes a long time to resume after being on standby 

•  The computer can take a minute or longer to resume if a network card is installed. 

A blinking cursor appears on the display while the system is loading and checking 
hardware and network connections. As soon as the hardware is reinitialized, the 
Windows desktop appears. 

If the operating system hangs after you have gone on standby or resumed 

•  Your system may hang if you dock or undock your notebook while you are going on 

standby or resuming the computer. Make sure your computer has completely finished 
going on standby or completely resumed before you dock or undock it.
