EX58-Extreme S3 Wake problem

EX58-Extreme S3 Wake problem
« on: February 01, 2010, 11:12:56 am »
It's not constant, but I am finding every so often that my system fails to wake properly from S3 sleep mode.

I'm on Windows 7 64 Ultimate, and it happens now and again that I try to wake it up, the fans spin up, the HD spins up and the keyboard lights up, but the HDLED doesn't start blinking and the monitor remains off. Essentially it's frozen - tapping the caps lock confirms this when the corresponding light on the keyboard doesn't turn on.

It's done this whether overclocked or not, and I can't go with S1 as it's not good enough.

Is there a known problem with this board regarding waking up from S3 sleep?

System:

EX58-Extreme BIOS F9D
I7 2.6 920
6GB Corsair 1600MHz
2 X BFG 285 GTX SLI

Any advice please.
