WPF application crashes when going into standby - wpf

Question

I have a WPF application. It runs ok, but when the computer goes into "Stand by" mode it crashes, with an unknown exception.
This might have something to do with the fact that my window is transparent.
I am using .NET 3.5 with SP1.
Does anyone have an idea?
Edit 1
When the window is in Visibility.Collapsed - the app doesn't crash.
When the window has no transparency - it also doesn't crash.
This is the stack trace:
System.InvalidOperationException: An unspecified error occurred on the render thread.

Answer 1

In case it is an acess violation or similar unmanaged exception, try to disable all hardware acceleration in your graphic card drivers and see if the problem still occurs. If it doesn't it is a driver issue. The only true unmanaged exception I have seen so far with WPF applications, have been related to to poor drivers.
