i don't get it....I have both manuals and they both show the s1 and s3 state in the manual--unless this motherboard hasbeen seriously modified by the system builder

MSI does sell generic motherboards to system builders and I suspect that is what you have...how do you know you have the most recent bios?

Sorry, been away a bit. OK well I have the MSI update Program on my PC and I have ran it and it updated my BIOS and VGA drivers and said my BIOS was completely updated.

Are you sure there is no problem with your monitor instead of with your PC?
Can you see anything on your monitor when he goes into standby mode?

just double-checking...

Absolutely nothing, not a thing can be seen on the screen as it goes into Standby mode.

Both, it happens in both XP and Vista

i'm changing my mind to a power supply issue

if you have a second machine, swap the psu out with the other machines and see if the issue repeats
