Hello,

I am having problems with S3 sleep, were the PC does not wake out of standby
mode (S3). I have a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse connected via USB to a
GA965P-S3 Rev 1.0 board. When I click the start menu sleep button, and
*continuesly move the mouse* while the system goes into standby, the system
seems to go to sleep, however, it does not wake again. The system appears to
wake, however, the monitor stays black, and I cannot power it down or reset
it. To start over, I have to powercycle the system.

The PC sleeps and wakes correctly when I do not move the mouse during the
sleep procedure. For testing, I disabled Hybrid Mode. When I enable Hybrid
Mode, Windows can still recover the session from the hibernation state.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Can anybody reproduce this
problem (perhaps on a Gigabyte board with P965 chipset)?

Tried a virgin OS, all patches, latest BIOS, all WHQL drivers.
Vista Home Premium x86, GA965P-S3 (F12), E6600, 2x1GB Kingston KVR800D2N5,
XFX Geforce 7600GS.

TIA,
Marius

My initial thought is a particular KB Article. KB Article 911895...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911895

In this article, it states about 3-4 programs that can cause this
issue including but not limited to:
"This issue may occur if the PCM and DVDLauncher services are running
in the background. The PCM service is part of the Dell operating
system that is used to start media programs faster. The DVDLauncher is
a program that is used for DVD playback."

Honestly though, I'd consider updating the Bios as some motherboard's
don't fully support ACPI2.0 always. If your bios is pre-vista, a newer
bios might fix some issues regarding your power saving with Vista.
 
I have the same problem that the system does not always wake up from
sleep. I have not been able to narrow it down as to whether it has
something to do with how you put it to sleep or try to wake it up. I
have been told by a few MVPs on these newsgroups that there is a Vista
bug and it will be fixed "when its fixed"!
