I have a program that wakes up the system to record off of a HD tuner card (MyHD 120) from hibernation.
When it does, I get that 2 tone, beep (siren I guess it is called) and a post code of 25. The system just stops.
If I do a manual return from hibernation all is fine!
Award doesn't show a post code of 25 but someone at Epox said it was related to the video card.
IF that was the case why does it boot ok when I press the pwr button?

QUESTION:
Just how/what is happening when a program tells the MB to power up? Just where is this happening since it would have to be in the bios somewhere. Nothing is loaded at the time and it is long before any O/S or drivers are loading, so it isn't a driver issue.

I DON'T overclock. Temp. of the processor seems fine, usually around 115F when running.

Specs:

Win 2k w/sp4
AMD 2100b
512MB PC2700
Epox 8-RDA nForce2 MB w/ latest bios
Powercolor 9600Pro video
Creative SB Live value
Antec True Power PS 330w

Again this is ONLY when the MyHD Tuner program wakes the MB up, NOT when I do using the Pwr button.

I looked around at MS's site with no luck (not unusual).

The question still stands.............just what happens and how does it happen between the O/S and the MB to wake the system??
