Dear Friends.

I am facing the same problem than you. I just bought a Dell Inspiron 1501
with Windows Vista. Once you make the system go to sleep or "hibernar", there
is no problem. When you try to wake up the system, then you have a serious
problem: the screen blinks or flashes no ending and you have to push the
power buttom until it shut down.

It's amazing this problem. I have been looking for a solution but I didn't
find anything helpful. Please, if you know how to fix the problem, please let
me know.

Thanks in advance.
