Hibernate and suspend simply not supported on GA-K8N Pro?
I haven't been able to find a way to hibernate or suspend with this
motherboard, running XP Pro. Is it simply not supported? TIA. Dan |

Hibernate and suspend simply not supported on GA-K8N Pro?
Under Power Management in the BIOS (I have the latest BIOS loaded, F14),
I can choose S1 or S3 type suspend. I set the power button to require 4+ second press to turn off, otherwise go into the selected suspend mode. However, in Windows XP, Control Panel, Power Options, there's no mention of suspend. I'm only given the option of powering off immediately when pressing the power button or do nothing or being asked what to do. When asked, I can only Turn Off or Restart. Standby is greyed out. Why is it greyed out? Windows help says the options in Power Options will reflect what's supported by the motherboard, i.e. the BIOS. I don't see a setting in the BIOS to enable it. It's already set up in BIOS. Dan |

I'm running a BFG nvidia 6600 GTOC, using the 8.4.2.1 driver, which I was told is the best for this video card. It's dated 3/9/2006. I'd have to believe it supports XP. Anyway, based on what you say I'm downloading the latest nVidia driver, 162.73_quadro_winxp2k_english.exe, a 37 MB file. I'll remove my display adapter, reboot and install it and see what happens. Thanks. Dan |

All you should have to do is uninstall the old graphics driver,
reboot, then install the new graphics driver, and reboot again.

OK, so I downloaded the latest nVidia WHQL driver, the one you linked me to today ( 169.21_forceware_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe ) and I was about to do as you say above when I thought I'd continue what I was doing earlier in the day before I took a break from all this -- I had done a google on "standby greyed out" and got lots of hits. On the second Google page was this one: http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=81547 A guy suggested the fellow having the problem do an Everest Home Edition report and paste it in a post. Having the program already installed, I did a report and started searching through it for a clue. I left off at around 25% into the long report. Just now, I decided to look further into the report before uninstalling my display driver and installing the new one. I noticed this about my rather newish 500 GB SATA HD: [ SAMSUNG HD501LJ (S0MUJ1PP310938) ] ATA Device Properties: Model ID SAMSUNG HD501LJ Serial Number S0MUJ1PP310938 Revision CR100-10 Parameters 969021 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors per track, 554 bytes per sector LBA Sectors 976773168 Buffer 16 MB (Dual Ported, Read Ahead) Multiple Sectors 16 ECC Bytes 4 Max. PIO Transfer Mode PIO 4 Max. UDMA Transfer Mode UDMA 6 (ATA-133) Active UDMA Transfer Mode UDMA 5 (ATA-100) Unformatted Capacity 516064 MB ATA Device Features: SMART Supported Security Mode Supported Power Management Supported Advanced Power Management Not Supported Write Cache Supported Host Protected Area Supported Power-Up In Standby Not Supported Automatic Acoustic Management Supported 48-bit LBA Supported Device Configuration Overlay Supported ATA Device Manufacturer: Company Name Samsung Product Information http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/index.htm - - - - In particular, I noticed where it said: Advanced Power Management Not Supported ....and... Power-Up In Standby Not Supported So, I figuring it was another wild goose chase (I've been doing them all weekend trying to resolve this!), I went into the BIOS and disabled SATA HD support. Upon rebooting, my 500 GB SATA drive is no longer seen, but my Standby and Hibernate are suddenly ENABLED! I find this amazing. SATA HD's are supposed to be an advance, a relative newcomer in the PC storage scene, and installing one has disabled my ACPI! I wonder if there is a workaround? Maybe if I get an SATA controller card?? Or maybe if I get a different SATA HD?

Hibernate and suspend simply not supported on GA-K8N Pro?
After going back to the RAID driver, in an effort to make Standby and
Hibernate function properly I wasn't happy because it just said "Raid Controller" for the device. It used to specify Silicon Image etc. So I went to SI's website and downloaded and installed the lastest RAID driver for the device, version 1.0.60.0, dated 2/2007. It's not correctly described, and the install went a lot easier because there was a .cpl file, which Windows was looking for. Will have to monitor the ACPI behavior. Dan |
