Hi Steve,


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.

Palmeasus' check is definitely most important but if the problem persists could you have a problem with the PCI-e slot that the Graphics sits in. Slightly misaligned maybe or if there is some crud in there or a very faint strand of wire then supplies or a signal to the slot could be failing and, by inference, other areas that use the same supply or signal could fail in many areas of the mbd masking the true fault location.


Errr........Or not
