Synopsis:: -
I've been leaving my htpc running 24/7, but I want to save power & wear & tear, so I want to set it to S3 standby.
I did a search & googled it, & I guess I go into the power mangement of the bios of my K8NG-M2 mobo & set it to S3. Is there anything else I need to do? Will it automatically start up & record TV, or do I need a separate program like power scheduler?

Go to the setup of Media Portal and enable Power Scheduler in the plug-ins. Power Scheduler will take care of waking up when needed, See the Wiki, all the information is there.

Very important, test that after reactivation your TV tuners work normally.
