Yes, sorry I forgot about that. I tried MST. I don't know whether I'm using it correctly - I set the standby type to S3 and left the tool in the system tray, but it didn't help. So I tried the previous BIOS versions F5 and F4. It still reboots instead of resuming; I don't even get the desktop moment...

Thanks Evil. I disconnected the only USB device, a WiFi adapter. No improvement. So I pulled the SB Live! and the Leadtek TV tuner. Presto, resumes from S3, I see the taskbar and desktop icons for a couple seconds and then everything disappears except the mouse pointer. Only option is hard reset; no...

Thanks, I installed the utility from the mobo CD, but there's no improvement. What are USB power selection jumpers? I find no mention in the mobo manual. I'm not using a USB device to wake up the PC. I'm using a PCIe TV tuner card or the chassis power button. WinXP displays, "Preparing to standby......

Bit off-topic, but you might consider the Silverstone TJ08 . It's only a few cm taller and deeper than the NSK3480 and has two 120 mm fans. I discovered it only after I bought an NSK3480, which if this helps, keeps my 4850e at approx. ambient room temperature with stock cooling and the 120 mm fan se...

GA-MA78GM-S2H reboots instead of resuming from S3 (STR)

The common, "I reinstalled Windows and it doesn't work now" problem. I used to set my Leadtek TV tuner card to wake up the PC from S3 (STR), record a TV show and then return it to standby. I would get home and press the power button, and see the desktop after a few seconds. Then I had to reinstall W...

Excellent work! I have copied some of these mods. I find that the lower hole in the wall is unnecessary. You can route the SATA cables down against the inner wall, like you have done with the ATX 12V cable along the top corner, and the PCIe cable along the top-left fan strut opposite to the bottom-r...

The eject button on my DVR-216BK is very unstable and rubbery. It tends to depress downwards instead of going straight in. A DVR-215BK at work has a very firm button with no vertical movement. Does anybody else have this problem? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply and for the welcome!

You are absolutely correct, and their fan is pretty posh too, with 9 fins.

Cheers!

4850e stock CPU fan too fast?

GA-MA78GM-S2H v1.1 F5 and 4850e with stock HSF in an Antec NSK3480 case with stock Tricool 120mm rear and EA380 PSU. BIOS option 'CPU Smart Fan Mode' = Auto. The 4850e idles at 1.0V 1.0 GHz and SpeedFan reports the CPU at 21-22°C and the CPU fan at 1,200-1,400 RPM. I used CrystalCPUID to obtain 0.8...
