GA-P55A-UD3, HD 5770, 10.6.6, Powerbuild 3/2 - No Sleep?

Sorry - don't know why this posted twice, how do I delete the other post!???

Hi,

Just put together a system - basically Power Build 3 but with a HD 5770 batmobile card.

GA-P55A-UD3
Gigabyte HD 5770 1GB Batmobile
i7 870 - 2.93

Everything seems to be fine with 10.6.6 - however when I try to sleep the system shuts down and any resume is just a reboot.

Question is - does anyone else have working sleep with this setup, is there something I'm missing.

I have followed the bios guides and selected these options in Multibeast:

UserDSDT - using F11 DSDT file from DB
ALC8xxHDA
AppleHDA Rollback
JMicron 36x (ATA & SATA) - not strictly needed as I won't be using it
Lnx2Mac's Realtek Ethernet
Chameleon 2.0 RC5 ATI Experimental
Themes
OSx86

Thanks to all!

Paul.

You havn't ticked System Utilities (or just forgot to wrote it down). Mine works fine w/o any issues. Look to my Build (click it in my sig)

Hi karacho,

Thanks for your reply - sorry for the dbl post, wasn't me

I actually followed your guide as we had very similar hardware down to the SSD drive.

I did tick System utilities when i installed.....

The differences in our system appear to be

UD3 Rev1 vs Rev2
NVIDIA vs ATI
You mention not installing on board NIC, I have used Lnx2Mac for on-board NIC.

If anyone has any ideas what to check next it would be greatly appreciated, sleep is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

Thanks!

Hi,

After a LOT more research and time I was about to give up with getting sleep to work.

As a final throw of the dice I tried the P55A-UD3 rev1 F11 DSDT file on my rev2 F11 board.

Straight away sleep works, instantly shuts down all case fans and drives (no pulsing light to indicate sleep but I think thats the board). Pressing the power button or mouse and it wakes up and jumps straight back into OS X within 2 seconds.

However - sound doesn't work (I only had a few minutes and the rest of the system seemed fine)

I've been selecting the same Multibeast audio options that were working with the rev2 DSDT : ALC8xx & AppleHDA Rollback.

Does anyone know what why the DSDT might be breaking sleep with the V2 board?
or
How might I go about getting sound to work again?

Thanks

Paul.

Ok, so I could kick myself.

Sleep now works perfectly with the original rev2 DSDT file, the issue was I wasn't ticking the "start up automatically after a power failure" box in System Preferences.

I don't know why this works because it's sleep not a failure, but it works so I don't mind at all!!!!!

I can now say to anyone considering the P55A-UD3 it seems to work very well.

I have it on a Mugen 2 cooler and with some cpu and memory overclocking I'm getting XBench of 395 and Geekbench of 10900.

Very pleased.

Good luck

Paul.

How did you get your 'batmobile' video card to work? I get no video at all with mine (I do in iBoot but after I lost picture).

Re: GA-P55A-UD3, HD 5770, 10.6.6, - No Sleep? - SOLVED

Hi subnet192

Assuming you're using Multibeast 3.2.0 then make sure you select

Chameleon 2.0 R5 - ATI Experimental

Should work on the next reboot.

It's all working very well for me.
