System will not go into S3 Standby

[Chris Taplin]

I've done quite a bit of work researching this problem.
This is my last hope.

I have a brand new Intel 865PERL Motherboard with MCE XP
installed. The system includes an ATI 9600XT video card,
Hauppauge TV/FM. I have set the Bios to allow S3 standby
and even turn off ALL the USB devices when in standby. I
even found a application called Sleeper that forces
standby modes. It detects and can force the system into
S3 standby, but Windows Standby does not! Please help.

1) Despite this being a Windows XP group, it does not deal with MCE.
Please post in one of the MCE forums.

2) As MCE is only available OEM, you would really need to see your system
manufacturer/vendor.
