Lately, when I put my PC into stand-by mode I can't get it to come out.
Instead, it just shuts off completely. I know the PC is in stand-by mode
because the power LED is blinking. This is a recent problem; my PC never
used to do this. There are two changes I made that I suspect:
1. I bundled a bunch of cables together so that they are out of the way
and not lying on the floor. I was careful to bundle the data cables
separately from the power cables to reduce noise.
2. I installed (and later de-installed) the "Seven Transformation
Pack"--a theme customization pack for WinXP to make it look like Win7.
That's all I can think of. Any ideas?

That's pretty unlikely to cause the observed effect.

As this is obviously graphics related, it /might/ have changed the
computer's behaviour re what it asks from the graphics card right after
waking up, which /might/ cause complications and ultimately crash the
computer.

Yeah, it's unlikey to be a cable, hopefully you have
a system restore point before the changes.

Any recently-installed anti-virus updates? I *always* suspect that when
something doesn't work quite right on my Windows XP machine. (When working in
POV-Ray offline, I disable my own anti-virus software--as best I can--usually
by turning off particular processes in Task Manager.) Just a thought.

I've seen issues with some drivers on my Linux boxes (ATI in particular)
that cause problems with suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disc. It wouldn't
surprise me if these issues (as the drivers are closed-source on Linux
and likely include stuff from the Windows drivers) were present on
Windows versions of the same drivers....
