This has been posted a couple of times before but I don't believe it has been fixed yet.
Everything is perfect with my NF7-S v2.0 now except S3(suspend-to-RAM). I've searched and tried all the suggestions I could find but still could not get it to work consistently. The behavior is that it would go to sleep correctly(PC shuts down in couple of seconds), but won't wake up(fans, HDD wake up but screen stays blank).
I've already tried several combinations of solutions including:
1. APIC 1.1, 1.4 in bios
2. S1, S3 in bios
3. Fresh reinstalling of WinXP Pro SP1 with each bios setting change
4. Tried on 2 Abit NF7-S v2.0 and 2 Asus A7N8X dlx v2.0 boards
5. Disable all onboard devices (LAN, USB, firewire,....)
6. Tried on 2 different cases with Antec 430w TruPower and Antec 350w SmartPower
7. TB 2100+ and Barton 2500+ CPU
8. Running CPU stock or oc'd
9. Crucial, Hynix, Twinmos and Buffalo memory
10. Running memory by SPD or oc'd
11. 1.1, 1.2, 1.4beta and 1.4 BIOS
12. Geforce2MX, Geforce4MX, Geforce4 TI4200, Geforce4 TI4600
13. Various NVidia reference drivers and default MS driver
14. No drives attached except boot/OS drive
Can't remember what else I've tried within the last month. But S3 either will not work or will not work consistently. I would say when it did work, it was only about 3 out of 4 times(sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, NOT wake up).
I'll add that S3 worked perfectly and consistently on my AOpen AX4R+(Granitebay), Asus CUSL2(815E) and Asus P4P800 DlX(Springdale) with the same memory, p/s and video cards above, plus they were all oc'd. I can enter S3 and wake back up all day long, all week long, whole month, hundreds of times without ever restarting WinXP.
If anyone has S3 working correctly and consistently on this board, please help and post your specs. I need to get this working soon.
TIA!
