I have this board, and a TNT2 vanta card and my computer 90% of the time will not wake up from sleep mode, anyone else experiencing this.. I have the latest MB bios, and the latest Detonator Video card drivers. I am running WinME.

what 4 in 1's are you using? I would recommend either 4.25a, or 4.28. Maybe one of these will fix your problem.

Deras,

Yep, I've had the same problem with my Pro2A. Uninstall the video drivers and the power management works fine. Re-install them and the system crashes (unable to wake up, I get sort of a blue screen). I'm then forced to reboot. I've asked this question before, but no one really knows. I have tried it with a CardExpert GEForce 2 MX and Elsa Eraxor X2, with different drivers (even NVidia's latest Detonator drivers), to no avail. I've tried them using VIA's 4.25A, 4.26 and 4.28 drivers. Nothing helps. I've heard of some problem with video card drivers and ACPI. On Elsa's website, they don't recommend that you enable ACPI because of incompatabilities. Anyone have a solution?
