Problems resuming from standby

[mikebomb]

Cyberpower built,
A8N-SLI Deluxe
1024 MB RAM (2 x 512)
Maxtor 250GB 7Y250M0 on Nvidia SATA 3
Pioneer DVR-109
1 NVIDIA GeForce 6600

BIOS 1008 04/29/2005
Latest stable Chipset drivers from ASUS

BIOS Standby setting: S1 & S3
BIOS Power button setting: Instant off


Whenever the computer goes to standby, I cannot get it to resume. The fans go on and the computer seems to power up, but there is no output to the display. Pressing the power button for less than 4 seconds does nothing, even though it is set to instant-off. I have to perform a hard reboot (power off and on, or reset button) to get the computer back up, and it never makes me perform checkdisk when I hard boot after standby (or is that an effect of NTFS? This is my first system with NTFS.)

Cyberpower's outside tech support had no answer for me and I cannot seem to sign up for ASUS's forum. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Oops! I meant to add this to the official A8n-SLI Deluxe motherboard topic, but posted it as a new topic instead. I am going to repost the above there.

I was finally able to subscribe to the ASUS forum, where someone named Rick suggested I upgrade my NVidia graphics driver to V71.89. I followed his suggestion and am now able to resume from standby.

You should try this drivers, man! They are way better than the official 71.89:
76.45 WHQL.You will experience a nice boost in performance.
Nforce4 drivers version/Video drivers version: suggestion 6.53 and 76.45 WHQL respectively. (First uninstall the 71.89 Graphics card drivers through control panel and then Run "Driver cleaner 3" wizard: select Nvidia)
Driver cleaner 3
Nvidia Nforce4 SLI Drivers v6.53
Nvidia Graphics card drivers WHQL v76.45 (only for Geforce 6 series)

If you need help, contact me.
