Didn't wake up only once so far

[eskimoquin]

I recently started putting my PC (HP d530, WinXP pro) to sleep (not hibernate; 45 min time out). It successfully woke after a few tests and a few actual recordings, I saw no problems so I decided to quit watching. Unfortunately today (Sunday) it was supposed to record 4 shows from about 6pm to 10pm, but it didn't wake at all. It did wake and properly update EPG at 11pm (never seen a problem with that). A test I ran around 12am (Monday) worked just fine too.

Is there a way to go about tracking why it wasn't properly woken this evening?

Thanks

Problem solved. I'll document for the benefit of others. I have been using two ways to put my computer into standby. One way was using the start menu shutdown dialogue, the other was using a shortcut with the command:

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendStatev

When I used the above command, the computer would not wake up to record; it /may/ wake up to update the program guide. The computer consistently wakes up after putting it to sleep using the start menu.

The standby function works great with GBPVR. I love not having to listen to the computer buzz when I'm not using it. I haven't tried hibernation and never will, I don't trust the computer's stability using it.
