Suspend & Hibernate ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Users. Solved !
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 7:14 amHi All. Hope this is of help to others using this,now long in the tooth but still great Motherboard. 
For years now i have been running ASUS A8N-SLI Premium MB's, two up and running at present. My own with AMD Athlon 4600 x 2 64, my wifes AMD Athlon 3800 X 2 64 and years ago i could only afford a single core AMD Athlon 3200. I have multiple hard drives and partitions, NTFS Storage, Windows 7 Ultimate and at present Ultimate 2.5. I have previously had PCLinuxOS and Mint installed as well. Windows XP and now Win 7 have always been able to put the computer into hibernate or S3 suspend(sleep). Never could i get ANY Linux distro to put this motherboard into hibernate or suspend. I have posted on many forums over the years, googled time and time again. Today i found this post and am Very happy to say it works, and works well! Link below:

The trick is to Disable USB Legacy option in the bios.
The answer to the problem is reply #5. Resume from suspend is very quick. Google Chrome, Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC, Downloads, Music, Open Office Writer all open and did a Hibernate. Thought i might be pushing my luck! At boot i chose Recovery and it loaded the system snapshot nice and fast. Cheers from Gold Coast Australia.
