ASUS m4a88 evo not posting

Hello,
I have the mobo mentioned in the title. The ati cat drivers were set to have it go into hibernate mode after being idle for 4 hours. I was surprised this morning to see the computer still online this morning with all the fans blowing etc. Sat down, and moved the mouse and nothing happened. So I tried to restart it, and it did not respond. Ended up pulling the power cable. Upon replugging it did not post... So i thought the video card had become unseated, reseated it and restarted. It did post, and the bios flashed by. Entered the bios, was not in it for more than 10 seconds when it left the bios by itself and went to the next splash screen.. then went back to the bios splash. It looped through that about 3 times then nothing. Now its back to not posting again. Anyone have any similar experiences?

ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO,
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM

I have an Asus M3N78-VM mobo, I had the same problems with Hibernate/Sleep as you described while running XPpro 64bit. Those problems disappeared with Windows 7. Two questions, what OS are you running and how new is the build?

FYI Same machine after upgrading too Win 7.
 
Sorry, didn't really help with that last one, I suggest your first step should be to re=set the CMOS by doing the jumper thing, and remove the battery, wait a few minutes, then put everything back and try booting up.
 
Good idea. Someone also mentioned that it could be a corrupted hibernate file? Windows 7 64 bit ultimate. everything is up to date. Latest version
 
Did everything i can think of, no video card, one stick of ram, then the other, etc. no post. Something that developed though the dram led lit up. Ram is not on the motherboards capatibility list. Would the computer work fine with the ram for about 30 days and then stop functioning?
 
From what I can see by the specs for your mobo, it should be fine with the memory despite it not being on the vendors list and seeing how it ran for a month w/o incident also indicates it should be okay. Will the computer boot using the Windows 7 install disk? You might try that, it will give you the option of repairing your installation, one or more of your startup files may be corrupted. Be prepared though, you may have to re-install Windows 7 completely.
