I just switched to a GA-7N400 Pro2 (Rev 2.0) because of a failure on
my previous motherboard. I'm running a clean install of XP Pro with
all the latest patches and the latest versions of the drivers
available on the gigabyte website. With my old motherboard, I could
hibenate or suspend with no problem, though resume from suspend often
failed. With the new motherboard, hibernate and suspend completely
fail, hanging at the "preparing to hibernate" or "preparing to
suspend" screen.

The bios is set to suspend to ACPI level 3 (Suspend to RAM).

I am running in single channel mode.

The system is not overclocked or running anything unusual.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

Maybe the graphic card drivers dont cooperate well with your new mobo.
Remove the graphic card drivers, boot in winxp using vga mode drivers
and see if suspend and/or hibernate work.

Also the power supply unit may not supply correct the standby voltage.
Check the voltages.

Post detail specification of your machine(including how many watt is
your PSU).

I have exactly the same set up with exactly the same problem. I assumed it
was something I'd done wrong, but on hearing your problem it has me
thinking, so 'ill look into it further and try and post a solution if I find
one.

7N400 Pro 2 (Rev 2.0)
XP 2800+
1 x 512mb Kingston 400
2 X 120gb Raid 0
XP fully Patched
Nec 1300A DVD Writer
Radeon 9200 SE 128Mb
Bios FD


I'd also be very interested if anyone else has this problem and more
importantly a solution.

Thanks

Paul.

Ok. I tried an experiment that one of you suggested. Booted into VGA
mode. Tried suspend and hibernate. Results:

Suspended sucessfully from VGA mode. Resumed from suspend, but video
was very corrupted.

Hibernated and restored successfully from VGA mode.

Tried installing the latest WHQL certified video drivers from NVidia,
and suspending again in regular mode. System hung again.

Some of you asked about my configuration:

GA-7N400 Pro2 (Rev 2.0)
Leadtek Winfast GeForce2 Pro video card
Netgear FA213 ethernet
Soundblaster Live! XGamer sound card
2 identical WD 8 MB 7200 RPM ATA100 IDE drives in mirrored RAID
configuration
TDK CD RW
Pioneer DVD ROM drive
512 MB Kingston Single channel DDR266 RAM (2 sticks of 256 each), in
RAM slots 1 and 2 (single channel mode)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

The Vga mode was my suggestion . I like to get the credit for
success(not absolute success though). Anyway, you forgot to mention
your PSU power. Nevertheless i tend to believe it is something that
will be corrected with nvidia driver updates either for the
motherboard chipset or for the graphic card. I would suggest you go
buy a more recent video card, something like a Radeon 9200 128mb, or a
geforce 5200 128mb if you dont like changing camps(from nVidia to
ATi). Offcourse you could argue that the other guy with an ATi had
exactly the same problem. Taking that into mind my conclusion is that
AGP bus may doesnt behave correctly during suspend process..
Install the drivers for the graphic card but disable AGP bus, using
either directx diag(dxdiag.exe) or using Powerstrip fron entech. Then
try to suspend again. I believe it will work, and the perfomance hit
wont be so big in a Geforce2.
Try to search the forums at www.nvnews.net for similar problems. There
might be a better solution there.

hi

have you possibility to test if hibernation works with a ata-disk (like hdo
or hd1, leave the raid active, just add one other disk)?

Only times I have had problems with STR were always driver related. I had an
old Trust sound card that prevented STR from working properly (would not
wake up), and the most mysterious was after upgrading to XP pro- It took me
ages to find what was wrong but it turned out to be the WDM driver for my
Hauppage TV card. Even though the device was not in use when suspending it
either would not wake or would wake with corrupted video. Installing the
latest WDM driver from Hauppage solved the problem.

Wait a minuet, I use the ATI 9200 for VGA card and the S3 suspend works very
well 7N400. I does complain if I leave a CD in the CD-RW drive.
