I have an ASUS A7V system running SuSE8.2. I had to power it down last night because of a power failure that the UPS couldn't endure. This morning, when I turn it on, all the lights come on as normal and the fans start up, I hear the drive whir, but after about 1sec, it all stops and the power LED just blinks. I think this indicates sleep mode. I don't know why the system would power up and go right into sleep mode, and I'm hoping that perhaps someone on this list might have a clue. Could the power supply be choking on the load and the system panics into sleep mode? The PS is a StarTech and little over a year old, so it should be okay. Could apcupsd somehow have put the system into sleep mode and that's where it's going to go when it powers up? Could the BIOS be hosed? If that's possible, is there a way to reset it? Any help at all would be appreciated. I don't think the system croaked overnight (while it was off), so I don't want to replace it now. There's got to be a way to determine what might be wrong... Thanks! -Michael --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
