Gigabyte 8IGX goes to sleep and can't wake up...

I have a Gigabyte 8IGX motherboard and once it goes into sleep mode, it can't ever wake up. There's no way to disable ACPI from the bios, you can only choose between S1 and S3 but neither has worked. I've clean installed Windows XP 3 times already and tried various things in between each install with no success. I've tried to disable power managment in just about every place I can find it Windows XP. Another strange thing is when the board is frozen, the HDD light is usually stuck on... Any ideas?

Ooooh, I've fallen and can't get up!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Sleep/hibernate etc. modes in Win are iffy at best. Go to mobo mfr's, MS, Windows Support Center web sites and see if they have any info for you. Often it's a conflict between Power Management settings in your BIOS and either ACPI or APM settings. Good luck.

Under 'Computer' in your Control Panel/System applet, change the setting to Non-ACPI compliant computer!

That might help...assuming it is ACPI that is giving you this trouble!
