Hibernation & stand by problems with ATI All-in-wonder 9800

I have a new ATI All in wonder 9800, and I have some problems...

1) When I put the pc in hibernation, and I restart the computer, I get the
normal "Resuming Windows" message, but at the moment that the Desktop should
appear, the screen goes in stand by (no signal).
2) When I put the computer in standby, I can, by no means, get it out of
standby : no reaction, even when I hit the power button. I have to restart
the pc...

However, in both cases (hibernation or standby) everything is OK when I
switch off the power from the monitor at any moment when the pc is in
hibernation or standby...

Reinstalling Windows did NOT help... When I connect another pc to the same
monitor, everything works fine, so the monitor is not the problem.

Furthermore, in some cases I get strange vertical lines on the screen,
especially when I use programs in pure dos (Norton Ghost or Partition Magic,
started from a bootable cdrom), but also (rare) in some programs in
Windows...

I am running WIN XP on an AMD Athlon64 3000+ CPU, with an Asus K8V-F and
512 Mb.

sounds like you should check the bios power settings and awake on
keyboard press, as well your powersupply might not have enough umph on
whatever voltage rail (cant recall relevant rail +5v maybe) to bring the
system out of standby.
to me hibernation is problematic, never use it, standby and power off is
what i use.

Get a good brand name 350 watt supply, I like enermax.
