I'm trying to get my computer to enter (S3) sleep mode, and resume again.
In both XP and Vista, it attempts to enter sleep whereby it shuts everything off momentarily - then half a second later the hard drives start to spin (power light remains off) and it will now not power down the hard drives or awake from sleep mode.
I've had this problem for a while in XP, but I thought it was windows being funny, but in Vista I have the exact same problem. Which is why I'm thinking it's maybe some sort of BIOS or motherboard issue?
I've been through all the power management settings in the bios, which all seem to be correct. Has anyone else come across this issue before?
Motherboard is a Gigabyte K8NXP-9 (Socket 939, nForce4) with F9 (latest) BIOS version.
Would appreciate anyone's help on this
