P4C800E-Deluxe won't recover from standby mode

Has anybody gotten Standby Mode to work in WinXP with the P4C800E-Deluxe
while booting from a SATA hard drive?

When I originally got this motherboard, I was using two IDE drives on the
primary IDE channel and standby mode worked fine.

After one of the HD's died, I replaced it with a SATA drive (IBM-Hitachi,
booting from SATA1) and connected the other HD to the primary IDE channel.

Everything seems to be working great except that now, the computer won't
recover from standby mode anymore. When I hit the spacebar to wake the
system up, I hear the power supply and fans come up and the case LED's
blink as usual, but then one of two things happens: Sometimes, the monitor
fails to get a video signal and it remains in standby forever. Other times,
only my desktop background image appears and the rest of Windows fails to
load. In either case, the computer is unresponsive and I have to hard-boot
to recover.

I can't be sure that I didn't change something in the BIOS in the course of
re-configuring it for the new hard drive, but as far as I can tell, APM
configuration settings are all as before: APM [enabled]; Video Power-Down
Mode [suspend]; Hard disk Power-Down Mode [suspend]; Suspend Time Out
[disabled].

Other pertinent info:

P4C800E-Deluxe (BIOS 1015)
P4 3.2C (Northwood) cpu
Corsair TwinX PC3700 DDR SDRAM (2 x 512MB in dual-channel mode)
Antec True Power 330W power supply
Radeon 9800 Pro + 128 MB
SB Audigy2
Win XP Pro

If anybody has any ideas, I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Jon

When in the last six days did you flash to 1015?

What version was there previously?
Did you experience this problem before?
(or a seperate one which prompted flashing)

Sorry...forgot to mention that I flashed to 1015 a couple of days ago to see
if it would solve the problem. It didn't. I'd previously been using 1014
and the situation was the same.

I have the same motherboard and the same bios too.
My computer won't come out of "Stand By" off the keyboard but it will jump
back to life if I push the power switch one time.
It was my understanding the 1015 bio should fix that problem?
I'll follow this thread to see what other suggestions are offered.
Is there some setting we are missing in the bios power management menus?

Did you happen to jumper your PS/2 & USB ports to provide 5v standby? It may
be turning power off on these ports during sleep if you haven't.

Also, make sure in Windows device manager that the keyboard is set to
'allow this device to wake from standby' is checked, and 'the computer
can turn power off to this device' to be UNCHECKED

Yes, these are already configured correctly. The computer will start to
respond to pressing the spacebar while in standby mode, but it hangs within
a few seconds, before it comes up completely. I'm starting to think the
pwer supply may be the problem.
