NF-M2 nView POST issue :(

[kevpuk]

Having a little trouble with this fella POSTing from S3 Standby - seems to fail as often as it succeeds, which is a bu%&er for my new MCE build, meaning missed Corrie !

After swapping out the RAM, unplugging everything, removing board from case, stumbled across temporary solution of setting standby to gool old S1 in BIOS - works every time so far !

Anyhow, spec is :

Antec Fusion, 2x512MB Corsair Value Select (matched pair), X2 3800+ EE, 250GB WD SATA II HDD, Sony 18x DVD and the ABit NF-M2 mobo

Anyone come accross similar S3 issues.....or have any pointers on what to try next

Well, for anyone interested, ABit recognise there is an issue with wake-up from S3 etc :

My head office has confirmed that there are issues on the wake up. We are look into it at the moment.

Here's hoping a BIOS release fixes things.....a HTPC which fails to wake up is of limited use
