Powersaving on P5AD2-Premium
Hi there
Can anyone tell me how BIOS shold be set in regards to PowerManagement? Also if things are set up in BIOS then what to do in WinXPpro SP2? Well sometimes when my pc goes to sleep, it won't start again.. really anoying. |

well it seem to "continue windows", but the screen stays black with no
signal.... "Peter Larsen" skrev i en meddelelse ... Hi there Can anyone tell me how BIOS shold be set in regards to PowerManagement? Also if things are set up in BIOS then what to do in WinXPpro SP2? Well sometimes when my pc goes to sleep, it won't start again.. really anoying. |

Hi there Can anyone tell me how BIOS shold be set in regards to PowerManagement? Also if things are set up in BIOS then what to do in WinXPpro SP2? Well sometimes when my pc goes to sleep, it won't start again.. really anoying. Just some guesses: 1) Check Windows Event Log for error messages involving ACPI or the like. 2) Get a copy of dumppo.exe from Microsoft, and check what ACPI states are supported. Since you seem to be using S3 Suspend To Ram, it will likely claim to be supported. ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/Oem...cpi/dumppo.exe From a MSDOS (command) window: dumppo ps cap # This dumps the ACPI object information # It says whether S1 or S3 are supported # If S3 is listed as supported, you do not # need the following command. dumppo admin /ac maxsleep=S3 # This is an administrative override # command. It should add S3 to your # capabilities. Check with the "cap" # option again. If you want Hibernate # then use S4. The options for dumppo.exe a cap power abilities ps Win32 System power status bs battery status admin Admin policy overrides ac AC power policy dc DC power policy 3) There is a "Repost Video" option in the BIOS: Suspend Mode [S3 Only] Repost Video on S3 Resume [Yes] 4) Flash upgrade to the latest BIOS. See the download page for any warnings or instructions about flashing. 1009 has a fix listed for restoring from S3 when using AI-NOS. Whether that affects you or not is hard to say. HTH, Paul |

Thanks Paul
but still no luck. The damned pc will not turn on the video-signal after "suspend". I have changed the BIOS settings - what about ACPI 2.0 Support and ACPI APIC Support?

Regards Peter I looked in the ACPI spec, and it doesn't have a section that summarizes the differences. The spec says the ACPI table definition is backward compatible, which means a modern OS should be able to deal with an ACPI 1.0 table or an ACPI 2.0 table. I haven't read any posts that mentioned that selection as making a difference, so you'll just have to try both and see if it changes anything. The APIC setting is for the advanced programmable interrupt controller. An APIC is used for interrupt steering, and multiples of them can be used in a system. The side effect seems to be, with APIC disabled, you'll see 16 IRQs and with it enabled, you see 24 IRQs. From the ACPI 2.0b spec: "The APIC architecture supports multiprocessor interrupt management... The architecture consists of local APICs commonly attached directly to processors and I/O APICs commonly in chip sets." Generally, you can leave APIC enabled, except for when there are hardware bugs (like trying to run Linux on Nforce2 - in that case turn APIC off, or use -noapic at boot). Some ACPI docs: http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec10b.pdf http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec-2-0b.pdf Now, back to your problem. This post suggests that some peripheral device plugged into the system, can hijack recovery from S3 STR. The post mentions that if you use Hibernate (S4), that a dialog box might show up with some evidence of what is wrong. http://groups.google.ca/groups?selm=...1.giganews.com You should do a bit more work with dumppo.exe , and make sure that S3 and S4 are listed as options. Many weird symptoms (like being bounced to the login dialog box, instead of suspending) happen, because the OS and the BIOS are not "aligned". After the BIOS is set for S3, use dumppo to do an "administrative override" of the current system policies. Using dumppo is necessary, if you installed the OS while S3 was not enabled in the BIOS. (Dumppo might also tell you about peripherals whose drivers or hardware, don't support certain ACPI states.) Look for "dumppo.exe" mentioned on this page. It shows an example of a system with a bad driver, and what it looks like after the problem was fixed. (This is a large page, so you'll need the "find" dialog in IE to navigate it.) http://www.bellamyjc.net/fr/windows2000.html Also, I found this suggestion for a video card: "there is a suggestion on an ATI support page that the graphics card needs to make DDC (Direct Data Channel) calls to the monitor to successfully come out of STR." Try making sure the monitor is powered up, before attempting to restore the computer. Perhaps the video card has attempted to reach the monitor via the DDC serial interface on the video cable. But I've experimented with that once, and didn't see any dependency with my hardware here. Also, when you say it seems to "continue windows", what proof do you have that Windows is running ? Can you ping the P5AD2 from another computer ? Is a shared disk on the P5AD2 reachable by another computer ? Paul "Paul" skrev i en meddelelse ...
