hi,

Windows XP SP2 Freezes only on resume from / turn off / hiber or / suspend. but after freeze a reset makes it work for hours and hours never freezes

After a lot of troubleshooting i have conculded this problem:

I have been using old computer which never use to shut down power automatically, with windows XP for years now, but recently I got a new computer which completely shuts itself down after - Hibernation or Suspend or TurnOff.

Only when I turn back on after all this, (hib, stand,turn off) ,my computer hangs in a few seconds even if no program is running, at 1st i assumed it was memory or vid card or chip or whever, but thats not the case.

When my computer hangs for the 1st time..i press reset, and then it runs stable for hours and hours. with loads of programs running at the same time.

This means mem is fine, vid is fine all hardware is fine, but only that the comp is not accepting the fact that it has resumed from a auto shut power down.

1
The bios is showing "s1", "s3", and "s1&s3",
I have tried all modes. currently on S3.

2
I installed hotfixes:
KB911567
KB918766
KB889673

3
I have also turned off "allow usb devices to turn off for power save"

4
I have also turned of DEP (data exxcutive prevention)

I dont know, how to repair this ?
I am frustrated I spent 700$s for a new computer, and nothing seems to work. (I assembled this PC).

Here is my PC config:
Motherboard (1)
====================
- ECS C19-A SLI (1.0A)


VideoCard (1)
====================
PNY Geforce 7600GT 256 MB - SLI - with heatsink n fan


Memory
2GB (2x1GB)
====================
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model F2-4200PHU2-2GBNV - Retail


Processor
====================
IntelĀ® PentiumĀ® 4 processor 631 - 3.0 GHz, FSB 800MHz / 2MB L2 Cache (retail) - with heatsink n fan


HardDisk
====================
320GB Capacity, 3.5" Internal, 16 MB Buffer, 7200 rpm Spindle speed, 300 MBps Data transfer rate, SATA 3Gb/s Interface

No heating issue, i keep a check on that via software:
Fans in my computer:
- 1 HDD fan which fits below
- 1 (3 fans in one front bay - for hdd) but i have fixed this right next to GPU video card
- 2 Case fans
- 1 Mobo fan which is on the motherboard
- 2 PSU fans
- I CPU FAN with heatsink (came along with the CPU)
- 1 GPU video card fan with heatsink (came attached to the vid card)
