You need to make sure S1 power-saving is enabled in the BIOS. Then you're probably going to have to reinstall Windoze and llow the proper drivers/configs/modules/etc. load with Windoze.

Make sure ACPI is enabled on the motherboard. Also, try installing the most current motherboard drivers you can find.

I would also make sure you are using the latest drivers for video (and any other devices).

thx for your quick answers.

s1 was always enabled in the bios (there was an option for s3???).
i installed the newest drivers from the via page (including video and chipset).

what do you mean with "llow the proper drivers/configs/modules/etc. load with Windoze".

my system:
xp pro sp2 with all updates.
