Crash/Freeze coming back from standby

Every so often, this machine freezes/crashes when I come back from standby. Hibernate also.

Anyone else having this issue? (I saw the reviewer mentioned it, but did not list a fix.)

Running XP SP3, 2GB RAM. (error occurred even after clean install and latest BIOS update).

You will definately want to check the Dell support site for the E Series of laptops. Over the course of the last 6-9 months since release Dell has offered new drivers for almost every piece of hardware in the laptop. Most notable check to make sure you are on the latest release for the chipset, video, and storage controller driver.
