In its current configuration, this system has survived over 500 boots. It has failed this one time, which is the only time I've tried to use suspend. I've tested every component in other PC's and they all seem to function properly, except the motherboard.
My theory is that the suspend succeeded but perhaps the BIOS settings don't define any way to switch state SLEEP -> ON. The system has been without power and BIOS battery over night, but it hasn't changed anything.
Do anybody know of a way to force wake up?
Many main boards have a place to set a jumper to reset the BIOS to the default state. I've never tried resetting things using this (and try not to deal with hardware if I can help it which is my my company name is not Celestial Hardware :-).
