ARRRRRRRRRRRRRghhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm going up the wall.
My old P4 gbpvr server is now too central to our home and great trouble would arise if it died. It's also a touch slow for HD stuff - So, I'm building up a replacement and will make the old one the spare.
I had an Asrock mobo and got a cheap P4 Pentium D from ebay. All went well and the machine was built up with the software etc, with the hardware to be nicked from the old machine. S3 standby was working perfectly.
Some time later (about a month) I acquired a Core 2 duo E6400, also from ebay. Installed and noticed a great improvement with HD.
BUT - S3 standby no longer works.
It is only tonight that I have pinned it down to the CPU making the difference, by swapping back and forth.
There is so much stuff out on the internet about S3 problems that it is difficult finding information out of the noise. But I have a feeling that XP may be involved with the root cause.
I anyone else has noticed this after an upgrade, I'd be grateful to hear.
