MSI M-Power Bios rev. MS-7751 H.70 strange bug?

[PetetheSweet]

Hi,
I got "two" MSI M-Power Boards like in my signature.

The problem is, that both rigs freeze after the screen goes in standby.
I really tried everything to fix it.
The only thing that fixed that was the bios switch.
Maybe I switch back and reflash the first bios with a older rev.

So am I the only one who have strange bugs in the latest Bios rev. for the M-Power?

I have an M-Power too, on the same bios. I haven't seen any problems with power saving of any kind. If anything, it seems to behave better than my last Asus P5Q-Pro. Ther are some issues with the bios though. Most noticable to me is the text corruption within the bios editor itself. The boot order displayed at the top gets corrupted as you move your mouse over it (worse when you have a long device name). The problem is, the corruption can easily be missed and actually affects the stored boot sequences if you happen to save it (may affect other stored values too).
MSI acknowledge the fault and it is listed as fixed in their latest beta bios version, though I haven't taken the plunge to try it.
The fix is to go into the Bios boot editor, select your boot devices and order, then press F10 and save. Do not move your mouse around the top area of the screen. This seems to it. I know this is slightly off topic for your symptom, but I had allsorts of funny symptoms when it was corrupted, so worth a try loading factory defaults and going from there.

It might be the AMD drivers. I used to have issues like that with my 7970.

THX for your replies guys.

The issue was definitely related to the Bios.

After flipping the Bios Switch and a older rev. on the other machine everything went fine.

Note! if you switch the flip the Bios switch , all your microsoft registrations are gone!

You have to re- register windows and office, or flip the switch back after booting and rewrite the old bios.
