Default Windows XP SP3 issues with Standby and coming out of Hibernation

I have been searching and trying various things for several weeks to find
out why my computer will not go into Standby and also why it will not come
out of Hibernation. I have read a great many articles in various forums and
trying all combinations of BIOS settings S1 and S3 etc. and have not been
able to find anything that remotely appears to be a fix. Has any one every
and any luck with solutions to either or both of these problems? Has any one
ever found a sure fire fix for what appears to be a very common problem,
obviously possibly caused by a multitude of configurations.
Under this present installation of Windows Standby has worked and woke up on
movement of the mouse or the key board. I have never been able to get any of
my computers to wake up form Hibernation, it always requires pressing the
start button.
It sure would be nice to locate a fix or to communicate with someone who has
found solutions to these annoyances.

Have you tried "dumppo" utility ?

The BIOS Power Management options will include some "wake on" settings.
It would include things like PME (if you want the computer to wake
on LAN for example). PME is the signal on the PCI bus, that allows a
NIC card to wake the computer. There will also be settings in there
for keyboard/mouse, wake on Ring for a modem, and so on.

For wake on settings to work on some computers, for things like keyboard
or mouse, the USBPWR or PS2 Power jumper has to be set to +5VSB. On more
modern systems, the jumper blocks for this are no longer present, and
all devices run off +5VSB anyway. So then, this is taken care of for you.

In Device Manager, you can find some entries like "allow this device to
bring the computer out of standby".

There are a few places to look.

You can also take a look in Event Viewer, look for .dmp files, for
evidence the system is actually crashing during shutdown.
