ECS K7S5A ACPI Compliance

[ryeboy]

If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, are you able to put the computer on standby? This board is supposed to be fully compliant with ACPI and yet Windows doesn't let me suspend. It could be a bios thing, but I'm just wondering if everyone else is having the same problem. Thanks.

Yes, my WinXP put my computer on standby Fine... It wakes up and boot normal. Everything working Great... Performance benches very High and stable. I am very happy with this board so far.

hmmm...maybe it's time to reinstall! Thanks for letting me know.

I just reinstalled windows and it still doesn't allow standby. Which bios are you using? What are your bios settings?

While you may have a BIOS issue, remember that all the peripherals/drivers in your box must also be ACPI compliant, check those out at the manufacturers website.

I have taken that into account. I've tried removing all add-in cards except for the video card (Asus TNT2) with no luck. Besides, if a piece of hardware is not compliant, the OS would still have the option to go into standby mode and when u try to do so it would say "such and such is preventing your computer from entering standby mode". I'm really frustrated by this. Could my motherboard be defective? There are people who say their system is running perfectly fine while there are some who have the same problem.
