Smart Strip Problem With PIII

jharris:

Have you tried going into hibernation instead? I know there is a difference though I don't remember at the moment. I think hibernation writes RAM to hard disk and shuts down while Standby (Suspend to RAM?) keeps RAM powered but shuts almost everything else down. You should check your ACPI settings on your motherboard's BIOS and see how it's configured.

Dmod:

I recall trying both hibernation and standby modes without success. 

I think the ACPI modes on some of those motherboards is pretty limited.  My PIII shipped from Dell with Windows95 and I think the hardware predates a lot of the energy savings modes that Windows now supports.
