Regarding ACPI, I was thinking of looking at that too (I have way too many projects!)

Because of the suddent current surge that results in a CPU "waking up", there must be a dip in the Vcore. This may be what makes the CPU crash where it comes out of sleep mode.

The solution to that would be to set the FSB to its lowest setting (like 66MHz) during the few milliseconds that will allow the Vcore (and all other voltages as well) to properly set. Then the FSB switches back to whatever it is set in the BIOS.

I never did any research on this (yet). Maybe just another bad idea ???
