I have a Dell XPS M1210 running Win 7 Professional. Did a clean install on a brand new hard disk from a self-burned DVD (from the MS Student Discount program).
Some specs: C2D T7200 2.0G, 4GB DDR2, NVIDIA 7400, WD3200BEKT, A08 BIOS
Ever since the install (back in January), the laptop can only sleep/wake once. The laptop experienced no issues when running XP/Vista.
Boot -> Login -> Sleep -> Wake -> Sleep -> Hang -> BSOD (sometimes)
This problem is reproducible 100% of the time. I checked the system log between sleep attempts. Windows always logs the same error that reads:
"The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system." The error cites the HAL as its source. The first and last corrupted page is always 63. Subsequent attempts to put the laptop to sleep cause the system to hang. Only the screen/wifi turn off - the rest of the computer is powered. The only way out is to press and hold the power button.
Microsoft does have a paper detailing the issue, and suggests updating the BIOS. However, the most recent version of the firmware for my system is already installed. I have tried updating stock Windows drivers with those from the manufacturer (ie Dell, Intel Chipset), but that did not help. Device manager shows no hardware conflicts/problems.
Are there any other XPS M1210 owners experiencing the same problem, or is this an isolated incident?
