It sounds like you need to make some changes in the Power Management Setup of your bios.
Pull out the manual for your mobo and have a look.

When you find the section in your manual you will find things like :
ACPI Suspend to RAM, Power UP on PCI Device and other power features for your board.
Check the manual first so you'll know what the defaults are.

Its not always good to go into standby, hibernate or even use the harddisk power down.

I had many experiences that the system does not actually wake up.
From the complexities of pagefiles, timestamps, Bios settings, wake up lags on HDDs or the O/S and the mixture of processing speeds etc, things may go wrong.
