Abit NF7S & suspend to ram
I have an ABit NF7-S and windows XP pro (tried both service packs and a Bios
upgrade) I cannot seem to get suspend to ram working Ive tried both settings in the bios, but i always just get windows suspending to disc i really want suspend to ram working. Is this a problem with this board or am i expecting too much ? Thanx in advance _____________________________________ Matthew Purves , (Deadly_M) www.DeadlyM.com |

Save it to hd and see how big the file is if its 700meg and you have only 128 meg ram you can see why it wont work I have an ABit NF7-S and windows XP pro (tried both service packs and a Bios upgrade) I cannot seem to get suspend to ram working Ive tried both settings in the bios, but i always just get windows suspending to disc i really want suspend to ram working.

I have a 1 Gig of RAM in the system however im not sure that is important
becuase windows always keeps its swapfile on the disc anyway so any ram mapped out to the swap file would just stay on the disc until i started up again anyway? incidentally my swapfile is not on the boot drive , could this be upsetting things ? The drawback of having 1 gig seems to be that suspend to disc takes bloody ages to save the masses of into the hiberfile! The only card in there is a GF6 also tried my old GF4 still no suspend to RAM ?? even tried a bios upgrade. Anymore ideas ? "Samuria" wrote in message ...

Your power supply has to be acpi comtapatible, as graphisc card and all other peripherals. best regards John |

If I recall correctly, you cant just turn on suspend to ram after you have already installed WinXP (which is pretty stupid if you ask me). DJB |

I think it was set at suspend to disc
however im sure i've played with both settings before and switched between them on previous motherboards . ??? "David J. Boniuk" wrote in message ... "JK" wrote in message ...
