This is a Biostar G31D-M7

The board is fully working, however It does not sleep properly (STR i.e. S3). I went into BIOS, and there is no option to specify the kind of sleep. According to the manual, it should be there, right under Power Configuration, but it is not. It is simply missing.

According to the Biostar site, there is only one version of BIOS for this board, so there really is no update that can fix it, that or they only list the latest bios, which is the same one it has now. Could maybe a re-flash of the current one fix this? Or does the issue lie somewhere else? Can it simply be something bad with the board, that requires an RMA?

Any input would help greatly, thanks.
