From: Angry Dove on 1 Apr 2008 15:12 Which setting do I need to alter to get the system to go into a deep 'sleep' with the fans etc... off? My old P5W DH Deluxe went down to a blinking power LED but the Maximus sleeps with all the case fans and lights still on. TIA

Sleeping with just blinking power LED is S3. Check the BIOS to see what you've enabled. To repair the OS after the BIOS is corrected, find a copy of dumppo. There is an administrative override option (admin), that can be used to change the sleep state. This is a DOS box type utility, as far as I know. It is only 13KB, so doesn't have a fancy interface. ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Products/Oemtest/v1.1/WOSTest/Tools/Acpi/dumppo.exe dumppo options: CAP = Capabilities PS = Power Supply BS = Battery Supply ADMIN = Administration AC = AC Power Settings DC = DC Power Settings AC MAXSLEEP=Sx AC MINSLEEP=Sx where x is the ACPI value (1 & 3) You run the program in a command (DOS) window, and a basic command to try would be "dumppo cap" to get capabilities. Some other users having fun with Dumppo here: "dumppo admin /ac minsleep=S3" http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?p=1825058&postcount=31 No idea if this is Vista compatible, or even needed for such.

(Which has only recently appeared on the Asus support page). http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx?board_id=1&model=Maximus%20Formula&SLanguage=en-us Certainly I have had no problems with fans etc. shutting down using the default Bios settings with both 0907 and 1004 Bios revisions under Vista x64.
