A8N-SLI Deluxe -- Unable to resume from Standby, Suspend, or Hibernate
Hardwa
Cyberpower PC built... Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Enermax EG565P 535 Watt Power Supply 2 x 512 Corsair XMS 400 MHz DDR 2 x 250 GB Maxtor 7Y250M0 SATA on NVIDIA RAID 1 (I added the second drive and set up the RAID) NVidia Geforce 6600 256 MB PCIe Video Card 2 x Pioneer DVR109 DVD±R/RW Drives (I added the second) Zip 250 ATAPI Samsung SyncMaster 191T Analog/Digital LCD with status LEDs that tell you whether the monitor is receiving data from the video card Softwa Asus 1011 BIOS Windows XP Pro SP2 32 bit NVidia NForce4 6.66 (except Raid drivers did not update, still at 6.53) chipset drivers NVidia ForceWare 77.72 Video Drivers BIOS Suspend State: S1 + S3 Problem: Whenever the system is in Suspend, Standby, or Hibernate modes, I cannot get it to wake up. It does not matter if I manually put the system in those modes or if the power settings put the system into those modes. I have tried setting the BIOS Suspend State to S1, S3, and S1 + S3 and it has made no difference. When resuming from Suspend or Standby, the fans start up but the video card does not start the monitor (the LED does not light up) and it appears that the hard drives may not be read, either. I have to press the reset button to reboot, although when I do, it does not run chkdsk. When resuming from Hibernate, it finds the saved data, says it is restarting Windows, but then the monitor goes black and stays that way. There is still data coming from the video card, however, as the monitor's status LED stays on. I cannot reboot by pressing Ctrl - Alt - Del; I have to press the reset button. When I do, it tells me that Windows failed to resume from the saved data and asks me whether I want to delete the saved data and reboot or try again. I just delete the saved data and reboot. These problems were just the same before I added the second hard drive and went to a RAID 1 array. This is a big deal to me because I want to be able to have my PC always on yet saving power when I am not using it. I do not want to have to wait for the computer to boot each time I use it, but I would like to save on the electricity costs. |
