CarPuter wont hibernate now.

Here's what I am running-
Epia m10k, Opus 150, Windows XP pro. Lilliput TS

Everything worked fine for the past few months till I had some problems with my lilliput. Bought a new one, and in the process I had to Reset the BIOS on the mobo. Now, I cant get the damn thing to hibernate or shutoff when the car shuts off. It used to work fine, would go into hibernation 10 seconds after removing the key just like it should.

I have read and re-read the manuals for the m10000 and the opus and cant figure this bugger out. The opus manual says to setup your BIOS and enable the APM function, but I cant find this anywhere in the BIOS. only apci. when i get into windows I can enable the hibernation function and get it to hibernate either from frodoplayer or holding down the shift key, but when I take away the switched power to the opus (remove key from ignition) the PC stays on forever.
Anyone think of anything I am missing or what do I need to do to get it to shutdown properly?

thanks a bunch.

2 things. Make sure your power switch lead from the OPUS is for sure hooked to your power switch header on your Mobo. 2, check to make sure XP is set to Hibernate when you press the power button. After that... I dunno man.

Also, hook up a power switch to your header on your mobo to test and make sure that part is working, maybe the switch in your opus is bad.

Thanks I didnt want to have to rip the whole thing out of the dash again, but I cant get it to turn on. Its gotta be that power switch wire me thinketh. I see the opus working and all the usb parts come on, but it wont trigger the pc to turn on. and of course I set the BIOS to not resume on ACC Loss.
