| | Stand-by mode I'm trying Vista on two computers. On one of them when I try the stand-by mode clicking the button on the start menu the system totally stops. All fans stop, hard disk stops and the power led blinks. It seems that it only keeps alive the RAM memory. When I press enter key the system starts in a couple of seconds. It's absolutely great!!! When I try on a second computer the same action doesn't stops the fans and system only enters a low power mode. It's not the same as the computer is more on than off. Do you know if I have to do some settings on the BIOS to make my other compuer to behave the same when on stand-by? Why don't work on both computers? Both has new ASUS main boards so I think they will have the same capabilities. Regards, Angel. |

It's in the BIOS, i'm not totally sure 'cause i can't look it up now but it has to do with your suspend type / power mode, i think you should use S1&S3 but there are probably other people over here who can tell it precise and also the differences.

| | Re: Stand-by mode > isn't this the purpose of stand-by? Yes. But until now I did not found a computer that does a real stand-by like this. Normally all the fans keeps running and this makes look the computer on. > It's in the BIOS, i'm not totally sure 'cause i can't look it up now but > it has to do with your suspend type / power mode, i think you should use > S1&S3 but there are probably other people over here who can tell it > precise and also the differences. I'll try to check my settings. But if someone knows what exactly I have to change it it will be great to know. Regards, Angel. |

| | Re: Stand-by mode Fund something: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acpi here are listed all the modes With my mobo (Asus A8N-SLI deluxe) i can choose between S1, S3 and S1+S3. So somewhere in your BIOS should something like ACPI or power/standby modes been. Good luck. Maybe you can also have a look at your mobo manual.

| | Re: Stand-by mode I've readed the article and learned many things about ACPI. Thanks! When I get home I will check my BIOS settings to see if I can change Sx modes for stand-by.

| | Re: Stand-by mode Hi Maus, I've checked my BIOS settings. I can choose S1, S1+S3 and Auto. I've set to Auto and the systems enters stand-by mode perfect!!! :-) It was previously set to S1 and this mode doesn't stop most of the elements on the computer. Thanks a lot, Angel. > Fund something: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acpi > > here are listed all the modes > With my mobo (Asus A8N-SLI deluxe) i can choose between S1, S3 and S1+S3. > So somewhere in your BIOS should something like ACPI or power/standby > modes been. > Good luck.
