Sounds more like hybridsleep to me. It's basically sleep and hibernate combined. When you use it, the data in the RAM gets written to the disk, but it's still retained. If you enable your computer again, you can start working again right away. If power to the RAM was disconnected, it will load the data from the HDD instead. Although it's slower, it's better than losing the data you were working on.

I know the difference between hibernate and sleep, which is also why I'm puzzled!

I click SLEEP in win7 and I basically get hibernate with a side order of insta-reboot... What gives?

I believe you have to have CPU EIST Driver enabled under advanced cpu features in the bios for sleep to work. Alot of peeps turn off all of the thermal stuff when OCed but I noticed in OSX that my comp will not sleep unless it is enabled.

Don't know if it is an OS issue or has to do with the new BIOS but I was turning on my computer today and it showed a blank screen right before the OS load screen. Pressed the power button and it shut off and tried again. Worked fine thereafter.

Tested as always for stability and seems fine. Never did this before. I might revert back to F6c since I was able to crank out 4.5GHz.

I just checked 1min ago, EIST was enabled all along. I checked also and my sleep is set to STR and not POS, as required. I'm still puzzled
