Vista - Sleep problems with Vista 64 on Intel RAID 1 Volume

Hello,

I hope you can help me, I have this very frustrating problem that I can't seem to solve in that when I put the computer to sleep and then try and restart it it goes into a loop situation where it tries to start up (power light comes on, fans start), then about a second later fails and goes back to sleep (power button goes off, fans stop). It will do this continually until I pull the power cord, neither the power or reset buttons affect the behavior.

This is a desktop PC built with the Gigabyte GA-EG45M-UD2H board http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Products/Mo ... uctID=3021 and using Intel RAID 1 on two Seagate ES.2 drives, no additional cards, 2GB kingston memory (1 module).

Vista Ultimate x64 installed on the RAID 1 volume.

Intel ICH10R, latest Matrix Storage manager, latest Mobo BIOS etc.

This also happens in Win 7 RC 64-bit but am now stuck on what to troubleshoot next.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Finally figured this out as having being due to enabling C2/C2E state support in the BIOS. Once disabled sleep worked normally!

Hello Paul,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Glad you figured it out and thank you for posting the answer. May help others with the same problem.

Enjoy.

I would also like to add if you overclock it will do the same thing as well with both disabled.
