System with ATi Xpert 98 XL Video Adapter Keeps Running After You Put the System into Standby (305921)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional
This article was previously published under Q305921

SYMPTOMS

After you specify the Standby option on a computer that has an ATiXpert 98 XL video adapter, the system appears to continue running. The system fan continues to operate, and the system appears to resume when there is input from the keyboard or the mouse.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the system does not actually enter "sleep." The software driver for the ATiXpert 98 XL video adapter does not properly communicate to the operating system the data that is required to allow the system to sleep.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
