Hey guys, I've recently acquired a collection of hardware as a massive upgrade to my E8400 system, an i7-950, a P6X58D-E and 6GB of XMS3 :)

First thing I did was boot it stock, all good, no problems, prime stable for 24hrs as you would expect - thankyouverymuch.

Then I started tinkering! I have it OC'd now to 4.3GHz at the moment and it's stable as a brick sitting on the floor, however - if I put the system to sleep, when it comes to resume, all the lights and fans come on, the keyboard num-lock LED lights up (it's PS/2, but the USB G5 mouse doesn't light up - don't know if that's relevant)

I've read various threads on various forums and on various websites and I've tried upping the PCIE clock speed, I've tried upping the PLL voltage, I've tried updating my graphics drivers but no... it will not resume from sleep unless it's at completely stock clock speed!

If I put it into S1 sleep mode via the BIOS, it'll sleep and resume fine, but it's still (for the most part) "on" as the lights and fans don't stop - and they're not the quietest fans lol!

What am I missing guys? This has got to be something straightforward that's just staring me right in the face and I'm just not seeing it!

Thanks in advance!

its usually memory or dram/vtt voltage not right if its not resuming from sleep

using latest bios?

what amount of dram/vtt are you using?
 
dram voltage is 1.65v (as per the xmp profile) and speed is 1651MHz

I couldn't find VTT in there, but the QPI was 1.40v if that's of any use?

So if I set the pll voltage to the lowest manual value - not auto or higher - is that right?

Cheers, will give it a try

[edit]
Right, so "Standard" PLL voltage is stated in my BIOS as 1.80v, so I changed it from Auto to 1.80v and............ it still doesn't wake :(

I keep forgetting what its labelled as on asus x58,its qpi/vtt or something vtt,1.4v does seem a little high for 6gb of memory,could try it at 1.32v
 
try with one click more dram voltage than what auto is using,not vtt but dram for your memory

could try with 1.35v vtt

if it still wont resume it could be a bios bug
 
An ASUS board with sleep recovery issues isn't uncommon....

I had endless problems with my P6T Deluxe with sleep btw.
