yes but these overclocked systems dont like sleep mode...crashes .....overclockers told me to turn off sleep mode .
As im a work all day there is no need to have the pc on .

That's just daft! The whole point of overclocking is that the system still works fine. Are you saying Overclockers the shop told you to turn off sleep mode?

I have a 1.83GHz E4300 overclocked to 3.2GHz - has run like that for 2.5 years without a single problem, I always use S3, only ever actually shut it down if I'm going away for a few days at a time when I turn things off at the wall.

Yep same as, I always use S3, never turn the machine off so never have to boot.

yes overclockers ( the shop ) told me to turn off sleep mode cause when it does go into sleep mode it crashes ....as i dont use sleep mode it does not bother me ...just easier to turn it off and save power when not in use ....i can go for a week without using it then may use it for 3 days in a row .

I have heard that an updated bios ( beta version ) actually fixes the sleep mode issue when overclocked ....

fresh install of Win7 on a machine i built for a mate with three 90/70 cheap samsungs in raid0 was only taking 10 seconds from start of the windows load screen after POST to browsing in firefox.

from the instant I get the windows starting screen to being fully usable win 7 is only 12.41 seconds. I just upgraded last night. Really not much of a difference in boot times over Vista what only 3 secs? But at least I have claimed more of my ssd back from the Vista GB monster! It's like I bought another 15gb ssd.

Its the bios thats the problem like you said. Its been fixed now in the f8 bios. Hows the best way to configure the S3 in the bios? Theres a few options.
