You should ask this question on a Windows list instead of a Linux list.

However, pressing anything on the keyboard, or clicking/moving the mouse doesn't wake the machine up. When I hit the power button on the box, my system speaker sounds a high-pitched beep (not the standard everything is ok post beep), and just sits there. Of course the power supply fan spinns up, and I can hear my hd and other fans spinning up as well, but that's it. No response from the keyboard, no video, and no sound from the on-board ac97 sound.

I know what acpi is and how the s3 state works. My impression has been and still is that hitting any button on the keyboard should bring the machine out of the s3 state, and I should be exactly where I left off in windows. Is this infact correct? Do any of the experts out there have suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
