Sleep works half the time?

[dunno99]

Hey everyone,

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 paired with X3350. While I know that X3350 doesn't have S3 sleep state (or something) compared to its Q9X50 counterpart, I know I can put the computer to sleep fine.

The problem is, when I wake it up, it will sometimes wake fine (half the time?). Other times it will go into a continuous reboot cycle (it doesn't make it past that first bios RAM check screen). Anyone know what would cause this?

Thanks

Is it overclocked at all? I've read that sleep doesn't work on that era Gigabyte boards, if the FSB is higher than 333.

Oh geeze, really? Yeah, it's been overclocked. But once it fails to wake from sleep, the bios automatically resets back down to default clocks (which would be 333 FSB). Upon retrying sleep again without OC'ing again, it would still fail.

However, it actually never worked for me until recently, when I upped the voltage on the CPU...that's when I can get a 50% chance of successful wake.

I'll try again with the default clocks and see how it goes. Thanks!
