Well, it's not gonna idle at 95W
I have another issue with my S2HP board running Vista x86 with MP 1.0. In Bios, I have sleep set to S1. In power settings, I have it set up to never sleep nor hibernate. It is connected to a Sony Bravia LCD.
It seems when I turn off the TV, and then come back, the screen is black. No amount of keyboard pressing or remote pressing will get the picture back. The computer is clearly still on, I can see the HDD light on intermittenly.
Is there another setting I need to do with this board? It seems if I turn off the TV, the HDMI handshake is gone and is causing my problem. This did not happen previously on an Asus P5 board.
You could also try using a program (i forget the name, i think it's called power...??..) to change the refresh rate from 59->60 or vice versa, then program it to a keyboard/remote shortcut, then use this key to wake up the display.
Another fix for the HDMI handshake is gefen DVI detective / or DVI doctor.
I had a gefen when i was using vista, and i can verify this fixes the problem.

Is there a way to still using hardware acceleration of the H264 DVB-T signal, but use software deinterlacing?
side note - i've noticed that catalyst 8.12 improves the hardware acceleration of 1080i h264 DVB-T (Win XP) compared to previous versions.
Hardware acceleration working fine here with PDVD 7.3 and 8.12. 8.12 also fixes the browser lag problem for XP.side note - i've noticed that catalyst 8.12 improves the hardware acceleration of 1080i h264 DVB-T (Win XP) compared to previous versions.
Am watching TV as I type to see if I get the same stuttering problem as I've had with ATi.
[EDIT] Well TV works fine. When there's a minor signal glitch it just stumbles on unlike the looping with the onboard graphics. HW acceleration with NZ's 1080i DVB-T. Hooray.
Not too keen on the Blue3 skin so tried the Blue3Retro. This seems to cause problems and I've had a few blue-screens. Sigh.
Was the stuttering happening when you type? There is a glitch in the early Gigabyte 780G boards that causes interference from the keyboard signal unless USB Keyboard support is enabled in BIOS.
