S3 is a deep level of Sleep also known as standby

Control Panel ---> Power Options ---Advanced Tab
When I press the sleep button on my computer ---> standby ... apply

Device Manager ---> keyboard ---> properties ---> power tab
allow this device to take system out of standby

Device Manager ---> mouse ---> properties ---> power tab
allow this device to take the system out of standby

Reboot...

when you hit the sleep key on your system... system goes to sleep in about 4 seconds

when you hit the mouse or keyboard the system wakes up in about 4 seconds.

No more long boot


However With windows xp and windows 2003 server
the system does not enter the deep S3 sleep state if you allow USB periperals to wake the system up
but only the lighter S1 stage... in the S1 stage cpu fans keep running
yuck...

See Microsoft KB article 841858

Run Regedit

Make the following entry:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\usb\USBBIOSx DWORD=x'00000000'

Reboot

Now when you hit the sleep button your cpu fans go off as well

Good enough of a recommendation for me. I'll go check it out on their website and order one from NewEgg if they carry it.

Update: I think that's the one I have on the 3.0c now. If memory serves I bought it at Comp USA, so I might be able to get it locally.

CompUSA does carry it.

Am I to assume no one is having Resume (s3) problems with this board?

Actually one of the things I was impressed with on the D975XBX .305 was how well it stood by and resumed. Lightning fast and stable even after several hours.

Right after I tell you guys that I was having no problems with s3

My system decided to start up about 7 times on its own.

But I don't think it is a S3 problem, but rather one with static.

When my system is in S3 I can move my mouse without waking
{as long as I don't click any buttons}

But if I shuffle my socks on the rug, and then rest my hands on the wooden
table, the system wakes!
