Standby restarts instead of resuming. HELP :(

Hey Everyone, I have a rather peculiar problem.

I just reinstalled windows on my laptop (sony vaio S360P) and after having installed all drivers and programs tested out standby. I use standby very very very very often. But now it's useless.

I close the laptop to put it into standby (or just from the start menu) and when I resume by pushing any key on the keyboard my computer starts from the beginning. I know it isn't shut down because the usual amber standby light does pulse.

What's happening? I really don't want to reinstall Windows just because of this :(

If you haven't already, update to either SP2 or SP3... although installing XP using a slipstreamed SP3 disk would be the preferred method of install.
 
Does it do this when you close lid and reopen it after like 10 seconds or does it do that after like 20min?
