I had thought this problem was limited to standby - but I now realize it happens anytime I close the lid on my x200 (With Win7 x64).

When you re-open the lid, the display doesn't just pop back on - it goes through convulsions similar to what would happen if you went into tablet mode (changed orientation) or changed screen resolution. Windows appear to be re-adjusting, CPU spikes for a second, etc.

Has anyone else seen this and resolved it? It delays you from just using the machine right away after opening the lid, so I'm finding it pretty annoying.

Thanks!

While I wish I had a solution, I can only contribute to the problem. When I put into standby and open again, the computer works for a few seconds and then freezes, nothing but a hard restart will solve issue. This doesn't happen all of the time, but it has happened more than a laptop less than 60 days old should.
I also have Win7 x64bit (I wonder if 64 bit has anything to do with issues?)

I wound up solving this with a from-scratch install of Win7 + basic Lenovo stuff. Unbelievable difference - the machine runs much better in every respect.
