leftbrain said:It will only sleep for about 5 seconds and then it wakes up, and if you shut down... it will simply restart the computer again. I'm thinking the sleep/resume functionality on my motherboard might be a hardware problem, perhaps I should just return the motherboard, any ideas?
The only other thing I can think of is to see if it works with windows. I was browsing the newegg reviews for this board, and they are pretty lackluster, about half positive and half negative. The negative ones seems most to do with (confusion about?) the overclocking capabilities, and some regarding quality control. One of the upper ones mentions what seems to be a hardware issue regarding resume from sleep (I presume with Windows)— I would be inclined to think you're having a similar issue, unfortunately.
Now, for the person with the speed stepping issue... what do you have in your boot file in /extra ? Have you gotten speedstepping to work with 10.7.4 on any other systems? My first guess would be a config error somewhere along the way.
