I have an Asus p4p800-vm and I cant figure out how to get it to power up and down via remote. I dont really understand the S1 and S3 power functions.

I can get it to power down into full off but it wont turn back on by remote (only by on switch - but that is straight back into windows) or
I can get it to power to standby with fans still going etc and it will power up by remote

Any help would be appreciated
 
I'm about to try the same thing with my M2A-VM mobo. From what i've read you can set a jumper on the mobo to allow USB to recover from S3 & S4 (which i think is Hibernate). Will let you know how i get on, mid-build now.
 
From what i've read my crappy remote doesn't allow resume from standby (Cyberlink cheapy one). I need to get an official ms one i think.
 
Ive tried a few remotes and its something down to the BIOS, I dont have resume from USB - that doesnt help, do have USB S3 which appears to keep the USB powered up but still doesnt resume from remote!
 
Well i definately have my USBPW1-4 (rear USB ports) jumper set to +5VSB which should do the business (says it will wake from S3 and S4).

I have just spotted something from the manual though:
The USB device wake up feature requires a power supply that can provide 500mA on the +5VSB lead for each USB port; otherwise the system will not power up.

I have no idea how to find out if mine can though. I did read somewhere that someone with both the cyberlink and MS remote couldnt power up with the cyberlink but could with the MS.

basically, use a proper USB port on the mobo not a PCI expansion card or some front ports.

I got my SFF nForce 2 mobo to sleep and wake using either the button on my keyboard or my media centre remote. Had to enable power while in standby on the set od usb ports using a jumper, then set windows to allow the device to wake it from standby. Worked with S3 too (i think its S3, which ever is suspend to RAM) that means everythign is turned off except the RAM, no fans or anything, so is almost off.
Cant get my new machine (DS3 mobo) to do the same though. Will sleep with either, but only wakes with the button.
 
I just came down this morning, moved the mouse (plugged into rear USB's) and it came out of hibernate so it is definately setup properly, pretty sure it's the remote that isn't working. Will order one today and see if it helps.
 
Go to page 1-19 on here:

If you are plugging your remote receive into the rear ports you need to make sure USBPW12 & USBPW34 (on the left side of the mobo) are set to +5VSB. You can't power up from full power down it isn't possible. You can only bring it back from Hibernate (S4) or full Standby (S3). I've set mine to go into standby after 15 mins and then hibernate after 30 mins. I usually just use standby from the remote when i'm done and let it hibernate itself. If i do fully power it off for whatever reason i have it set to auto logon and run media centre automatically too.
