Fails to go from Standby to Hibernate
03/19/2011
This review is from: BIOSTAR G41M7 LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Works. Stable. Good customer support (but MUST CALL 626-581-1055; no response if use website).
Cons:
Has BIOS bug that causes system to fail to go from Standby to Hibernate. I have Windows XP. You can reproduce the problem if you go to Power Options, change System standby to 1 min, and System hibernates to 2 min. After 1 minute, the system goes into standby. After another minute, the system wakes up, BUT THEN FAILS TO HIBERNATE. I had to call 626-581-1055 to get a fixed BIOS in 07/2010. But Biostar still has not put the fixed BIOS on the website.
Overall Review:
Deducting 1 egg for the BIOS bug, and another bug for still not releasing the fixed BIOS to everyone after knowing about the problem since 07/2010.
Manufacturer Response:
Sorry to hear of your troubles, our technical support staff has tried to replicate your issue but cannot, so many be some sort of combination you have or driver version that is not allowing the hibernate to wake properly. Please email support@biostar-usa.com and include your whole system configuration.
