thanks dnoyeb, so far I had not thought, that any powersave things could cause my problem, also it would be a good reason. My VCR is usually in hibernation mode (and often waked by WOL), therefore Powersave modes might be a reason. But now I checked, whether the network adapter has any...

Hello, maybe somebody does have an idea ... I do have a small network with Notebook, Network switch and digital VCR. The digital VCR is having an onboard Intel network solution (with the latest drivers installed). Very often I do have really bad networking performance (netIO shows 100kByte/s...

It is getting more and more clear. a friend pointed me the the datasheet of a southbridge with integrated RTC, and finally I found all the registers mentioned in the ACPI Spec in Hardware. But this would mean, that if I'm rewriting the RTC_En bit, and then switch off the PC (no chance to...

Hi Sao, the quote I made was from this spec ... and the information based on RTC registers ist from a TI RTC datasheet. But as I mentioned before, I'm to stupid to map the Spec to a Hardware schematic. :-( I'm used to hardware related DRAM/chipsetspecs specs. This one is a level to high...

HI sao, thanks for the answer. In principle this goes in the right direction, but there is one problem in your argumentation: You mention, that the BIOS checks the memory location somewhere. But the BIOS is not active at the time a wake up event occurs. I have checked the ACPI spec a little...

H sao123, I aggree with you, that the shutdown is different, but this does makes no difference at the time a wake up event occurs when the system is in S4 or S5 mode. this information written to the HDD is checked and used after the BIOS boot to decide whether the OS has to boot, or the system...

Hi Peter, thanks for the response, but I don't think, that in S4 anything more than in S5 is powered. You can dissconnect Power when the System is in S4 reconnect it, and the system is booting from hybernation mode without problems. On my notebook I do even change my HDD to boot different OS...

Sorry for the other post. Don't really know what happened there! Hermann

Hello, I asked this question already once, and got no answer. Maybe I'm more lucky this time. The WINXP Task Scheduler is able to wake up my PC from S4 (Hybernation mode). But at the time the Wake up event occurs the system state is the same then in S5 (Soft off). The only difference between...

Hello, short but (I assume difficult question): Why is it possible, that e.g. the task scheduler wakes up the system from S4 (hybernation, suspend to disk) , but not from S5 (soft off) state ???? In both cases the system is powered down completly, you can disconnect the power, and after...

Sorry, I didn't wrote detailed enough about what i wanted to know! I would expect, that the RTC is having some registers, that can be programmed. If there is the event in the RTC, which signals are activated, and where are this signals evaluated (south / Nothbirdge are not powered up in S3)...

Hi all, I'm looking for a micro ATX case for a HTPC. But usually the uATX cases to only have one or two PCI slots with a riser card. Does anybody knows a nice small case that supports full size AGP and PCI cards ? Basically I just don't like the hight of a usual desktop, thats the reason, why...

Hi all, it's some time ago since my last visit. Lets take a look wheter the forum is still as good as it was ... I'm buliting a Home Theatere PC. As I do not want to leave it on all the time I tried to wake it from different power safe states. S1 is no Problem! Wake up from S3 is working on...

Nice article about DRAM: Ram explained
