A7N8X-Deluxe - Will not go to sleep!

[AL]

I have the 1.04 version of the A7N8X deluxe MB.
In winXP, when I try to put it into sleep mode the fans keep running.
My old original A7V version 1.01 used to sleep nicely, albeit flaky at times
waking up.

Someone suggested I read page 19 to 20 in the manual and set the jumpers for
the keyboard and USB to +5 VSB. It did not make any difference; fans still
run in sleep mode.

Has anyone found a fix for this??

Any help would be appreciated.

See the "A7N8X Suspend to RAM problem" post on 2/9/03 within this newsgroup.
A solution is posted there which solved my problem.

Good luck.

The olny way to get mine to work is to force it with the dumppo.exe prog.

Dumppo.exe is in here:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/Oemtest/v1.1/WOSTest/Tools/Acpi/

Some small amount of explanation is in here - use babelfish.altavista.com
http://www.bellamyjc.net/fr/windows2000.html (then search for dumppo)

Thanks for the responses! I looked up those messages and downloaded
"dumppo.exe."

I typed in: "dumppo admin /ac maxsleep=S3"
and tried: "dumppo admin /ac minsleep=S3"
per the suggestions in the messages

Unfortunately the fans are still running and the keyboard light is still on.
Mouse button click brings everything back to life.

When I type in
"dumppo admin"

I get:
"Admin policy overrides
Min sleep state.....: S3
Max sleep state ...: S3"

What am I missing?? I didn't see anything in the BIOS settings that would
help?

SUCCESS!

I went back and had a thorough look at the BIOS settings.
Sure enough, I had not enabled the "suspend to ram." Once enabled, all
worked OK!

Thanks for all the help!
