Blue screen on waking from stand-by mode

Hello,

I've recently bought a new laptop, Dell Inspiron E1505. I have a problem which occured first only a week after I received my machine. The problem is very similar to the one presented at http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=56022

I don't know if my problem is caused by USB devices, as for the first week of use I did not use any ...

A more detailed description of the problem: When I close the display my laptop enters stand-by mode. When I resume, I very often get a blue screen with the information:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x000001CC,0x00000002,0x00000001,0xF7722D9B)

wanarp.sys - address F7722D9B base at F7721000,DateStamp 41107c89

(numbers may vary). The blue screen doesn't appear immediately after I resume - a couple of seconds later or even a minute. Can anyone help me with that? I know I could turn off the stand-by mode but it's a nice option and it really ****** me off that my brand new laptop is deficient in any way :/

Machine specifications:
Dell Inspiron E1505
Core Duo 1.83GHz
1GB RAM
120GB HDD
Windows XP Home

Thank you in advance!

 

Hello hessian and welcome to the Board

wanarp.sys is
"MS Remote Access and Routing ARP Driver" located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers. This may be corrupted - run sfc System File Checker tool http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/howto-24.html

Also check for bad sectors on your Hard Drive - run chkdsk - for instructions, type chkdsk into search box of Help & Support on the Start menu.

That hasn't helped. System File Checker seems to have replaced one file (wanarp.sys? not sure ...) from my XP CD. Chkdsk hasn't found anything as well.

And today I got the blue screen again - just like I described in the firt post.

I'm losing hope of mending the problem. Is turning off the stand-by mode the only way to stop getting frustrated???

I heard that problems with stand-by mode are pretty frequent, aren't they?

 

Hello hessian,

Have you contacted Dell? If this a new Laptop, a problem like this is certainly still under terms of the Warrenty.

In your place, I wouldn't fool with any error on a brand new machine.
