your doing all the right things - switch out components to isolate which one is the problem. think back to what all you have changed since the problem appeared - or is this a new build?

Hi Steve,

No thios is not a new build, but problem started when I changed the psu, but now changed back again - no dice. But I also remember I tweaked the screws of the backplate as I thought they might be a smidgeon loose - thi9s was with the cpu still in place so may have shifted some of the pins per chance - so I think I will take the cpu out and check as Palmeasus suggests.

Going to check the socket pins - see above and reseat etc.

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys - much appreciated. Will keep you posted.

Edit update:

Just to let you all know although it is most weird.
I took out my graphics card which I had doubts about and replaced it with my old 4870 known working card and rebooted. Ati popped up and complained about the card
being the wrong one so uninstalled the ATI driver package and re booted upon which windows recognised the 4870 and installed the WDM drivers for the 4870 and low and behold
I could now get into sleep mode and things seemed ok.
I then shut down and swapped my 5870 back in, but windows did not detect it and change driver so I manually installed drivers via device manager and all now seems ok.
Will monitor and test for a while. The other thing I did was left the bios battery out this afternoon for several hours and re set the bios before installing the 4870 etc.
Sorry for the long post - but needed to get it off my chest especially as it has caused me two days of grief.
