Hey Hey! So. Story goes... (Skip to 'However' for actual issue)
I've got an X3 720 with an Asus M2N68-CM and 4 GB of DDR2 RAM running windows 7 32bit with a Seagate Hybrid XT 500GB Drive + a storage drive.
Also runs an Antec True Power Trio 550W PSU, inside an Antec P180 Mini.
This computer is purely for browsing and parents use; I just swapped out my old 8500GT to the onboard the motherboard comes with I completely forgot about.
I was originally running the entire system in an Antec Three Hundred (300) Version 1. I had NO issues with the computer sleeping. (sleep function, not hibernate).
However; when i replaced my P180 with my 650D; I moved the P180 and replaced the Antec 300. Since then, if I put the computer to sleep, everything seems fine, then I wake it up.. Then the entire computer freezes. Why would a simple case change affect this? Or did something else happen along the way? This is annoying for my parents as the best they can do, short of just turning off the screen, is hibernation; which frankly takes almost as long as boot-up anyway..
Though now; with a X3 720 being the only thing running + motherboard/HDD, would I perhaps just be better off telling them to turn off the screen when not in use? CnQ is enabled; it drops down to 800mhz per core when idle; fairly low power use I'd imagine..
But I'd much rather get Sleep working again.. I don't know what it is.. :\
Any ideas?
