Has anyone else experienced the problem I describe below? If so please post what hardware you're using so I have a better chance of Gigabyte fixing this. Note you must be using ECC RAM to be able to test this.
When "DRAM MCE enable" is set to "Enabled" Windows won't resume from sleep. The computer goes to sleep just fine, however when you try to resume from sleep there's no video and the hard drive light LED just blinks. Keyboard is locked, can't CTRL-ALT-DEL, numlock light, caps lock light, scroll lock light, won't change. I.e. the PC is frozen. The only way to recover is to reset or power cycle the computer.
I've experienced this problem with Windows Vista Business 32 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Both with clean installs (with nothing changed) and using all updated drivers/software. The only thing this problem requires is that you set "DRAM MCE enable" to "Enabled". I.e. to reproduce this bug you simply need to do this in the BIOS:
1. Load fail safe defaults or optimized defaults
2. In the "MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)->DRAM Configuration" section set "DRAM ECC enable" and "DRAM MCE enable" to "Enabled" (you can't enable MCE if the main ECC setting isn't enabled).
To fix this issue simply set "DRAM MCE enable" to "Disabled".
