Computer locks-up on power-save

[Guest]

First my system
AV7 with 1.2 T-bird... BIOS upgraded to 1005C
Leadtek GF2 32 DDR on int11 6.3.1 driver
SB Live Value on int5
Link-sys 10/100 on int5 (came with the cable modem service)

The display comes back screwed up and only the mouse works after I come back from power save mode. I know this problem has been addressed on this forum before but the only solution I have seen is to disable power save.

Does anyone have another solution that will resolve this?
Also after upgrading the BIOS it wants to boot from floppy and have to hit enter to get it to boot from the C drive. The C drive is a Maxtor 17g ATA 66 and I have it on the ATA100 interface.

Thanks

The only OS I've ever seen that the power management works on is Win2000.

Update to the NVidia drivers version 6.49 or higher.

I have this same problem with a Hercules GF2 Pro and updating to 6.49 did not fix the problem. However I do agree that Win2k works just fine with the monitor and power save enabled on my system. Called Hercules and they said they are working on a patch or work around for the problem. Thats all i know about it.....other then its kinda a pain in the a$$.

All of this hardware was installed on another MB/PRocessor(P5A/K2-6 400) and I had no problems with power save options. This leads me to believe that the problem is in the A7V, not the operating system. Does anyone else have this problem that is not using the A7V motherboard? If so it could be the processor!!!
