I'm running win7 64
Asus Rampage formula (ICH9R)(bios 0902)
Using Intel's (RST) drivers (9.6.0.1014)
Using an OCZ Vertex LE 100g as my boot drive
other hardware in the sig.

I've been running with this setup (minus the SSD, 2 raptors instead) for a while and it's been rock solid until I got this SSD.
Basically I bsod every time I come out of sleep. For the time being I've simply disabled the sleep functionality but it's sort of annoying.
I don't really care about the power saving but it's nice to walk into a cool office(living room) and with all the electronics and computers running it can get significantly warmer than the rest of the apartment.

I've searched the ocz forums, here, and a little on the web without finding any solid info. I'm mainly trying to figure out if it's just my particular hardware or software setup, or if something is bad.
So anyone with a similar rig run into any issues or successfully waking their computer up from sleep?

UPDATE: Random bsod, I was afk at the time for about 10min so no idea what was going on when it happened:
BAD_POOL_CALLER
STOP: 0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000007, 0x0000000000001097, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF8A00C0AF8E0)

Did you reinstall windows? Did you change the drive mode from IDE to AHCI? Sometimes this can screw things up coming out of sleep.
 
I did a clean install while bios was set to AHCI. Installed the intel inf update then the rst driver.
I put my box to sleep last night to see if I could get it to bsod since it's not writing an event to the event log when it happens but this time it just restarted when I woke it up (after sitting at the login screen for about 10 seconds).
Still no event written to the log though.
 
Problem turned out to be the Intel RST driver (iastor.sys). I removed them and am now using the microsoft drivers (msahci.sys).
It's working great and I haven't noticed a performance hit yet.

How did you do this? I have an ICH9 (non-R) and am experiencing this same problem.
 
I did it through the device manager.
When I selected to uninstall the ich9 I took the option to have windows remove all the files associated with it too. When I rebooted Win7 loaded the msahci driver. Then I removed the Intel RST from the add/remove programs control panel.

Working great so far. I've resumed from sleep many times since then.
