EPOX 8RDA3+ does not wake up from standy!

Hi Epox community,

my new 8RDA3+powers down into standby very easily, but it does not come back
again: IDE activity LED lights up, post code FF on the board, but black
screen and no further resume progress. My system is Windows XP Home.

I didn't have any similar problems with my 8KTA3+ before...

My components:

Athlon XP 2400+
512MB ram
Radeon 9700
Seagate Barracuda IV disk
CDROM drive
DVD drive
SB Live! Player 1024
Enermax EN365 power supply

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Reinhard

Fairly common in my experience, all recent versions of Windows and makes of
boards and fairly unpredictable. I assume that you have correctly set up
power saving on the screen properties window. I find that some will wake up
if they have have only just gone to sleep, but afer an hour or so, nothing
will bring them back to life. I have one out of 3 systems here that I cannot
use standby. Hibernate is even more risky.

Hey Richard,
You aren't OC'ing the FSB and RAM are you?
I had that issue untill I lowered the FSB a little and loosened the RAM
timings.
