After browsing through this forum and google I have finally been able to fix wake up to work from suspend and hibernate.
After downloading dumppo.exe ( from microsofts ftp server - can't remenber the link - search this forum) and confirming that my PC supported wake up from hibernate ( type dumppo cap ) I found the following software :
http://www.passmark.com/ftp/sleeper.zip or
www.passmark.com/products/sleeper.htm
Running the test told me that my pc supported only S3(suspend) and S4(hibernate) and wake up was fully supported. Also my pc needed a minimum of about 67 seconds to wake from S3 and 83 to wake from S4.
Using this info I change powersheduler options to Wake up 3 min before and sleep after 5 min. Ran MP again but wake up still did not work. Log shows powersheduler going to sleep at the correct time and then complaining that wakeupTimer expired after I had manually turned the pc back on.
Finally figuring the problem to be with windows not setting wakeup correctly in bios, I reset bios settings to default and restarted my pc and MP. In no other posts did I see any great mention of Bios settings which is why I didn't try this first.
It's been 2 days now and MP has been waking perfectly from suspend and hibernate modes.
From what I can remember the key Bios settings that changed from my original configuration were:
Wake Up by Alarm : Disabled
and under IRQ Activity Monitoring
IRQ 8 RTC Alarm : Disabled
I don't know for sure if disabling these options made the difference but it seems logical.
Perhaps if other users who don't have problems with powerscheduler can post their Power Management Bios settings, it could help a few people who have been having this problem.
