Wake up problem after S3 sleep

[Guest]

Hi,
Vista Ultimate 32bit, Athlon X2 64, Asus P2-M2A690G System with integrated
ATI, 1 GB Ram PC4200.
Unable to work up correctly after sleep, unless bios is set to S1 Only. When
using S3 or Auto, the system will turn on power to USB and I see the CD-ROM
being accessed, but the HD Led never lits and the screen never gets video. I
have a SATA drive installed.
According to Windows Update I'm updated (Except for the optional LAN for
Attansic update that kills my PC (and a whole lot of other PC's out there)).
And I have latest BIOS 0401 installed.

Is it worth to try a PATA or any of the "microsoft please" updates related
to sleep/wakeup errors?
Does anyone have an idea of what to try next.

Thanks

Have you investigate the AMD Away features (also known as Hybrid Sleep):

While the article states that the driver comes from Microsoft, the only
place that I've found it (and the corresponding Intel feature) is as a
download at some computer manufacturer's websites.

Away is a Media Center thing - kind of half sleep - full running CPU but
sound/video off - S0.5(?). Hybrid sleep is different, it is sleep mode but
allready prepared for hibernation, so that if you loose power while in sleep
your system can restart from the hibernatation info.

Not really related to the above - as my problem is not in S1 as this works,
but next level that the MB supports, which is S3.

And it is the same problem independant on the setting for hybrid (sleep
versus hybrid sleep).
