I just performed a slight system upgrade comprised of a processor (E7400 from an E6600), new RAM (2x2GB instead of 2x1GB...I needed the old stuff for a another build), and a new video card (GeForce 9800GTX+ from an 8800GT). After the upgrade, everything worked perfectly. The only modification I made is OCing the proc to 3.5Ghz, but everything else is stock. I haven't had any lockups, BSOD's, or any other flaky behavior that would lead me to believe that there is an issue with the system. However, I can no longer put the system into suspend mode (hibernate still works), which is driving me crazy because I love suspend. I can essentially have instant on/off capabilities without the long wait that hibernate requires (BIOS post sequence + writing/reading RAM to disk). Essentially, when I try and wake it up from suspend, the system powers on for 3 seconds and then powers down (no video). It will cycle through this 3 seconds on, 3 seconds off thing until I cut the power to the PSU. After that, I can turn it back on normally and go through a full boot.
I'm really hoping I don't have to reinstall my OS, but I'm starting to think that I might have to, which is really annoying, especially since I just did it 2 months ago and was trying to wait until Windows 7 arrives (and no, I don't really want to run the RC on it). I did try resetting the BIOS back to factory defaults, without any luck. I would expect issues if I had swapped out the mobo, but not with the CPU/RAM/Video. So has anyone seen this before? It almost seems like a voltage problem, but the thing that's weirding me out is that it only happens with suspend. I would think that if the voltage was the problem, that it would manifest itself on normal boot too.
P.S. I have a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 mobo.
