The screen stays blank

If your screen stays blank this may have the following cause:
The wrong RAM memory module has been inserted


See the chapter "Main Memory" for information which memory modules can be used.
ACPI S3 (Save-to-RAM) and/or ACPI S4 (Save-to-Disk) doesn't work
This mainboard is fully compliant for ACPI S3 and S4. Therefore it is PC98 certified by Microsoft.
If you have any problems with ACPI please ensure that all of your components are supporting
ACPI S3 and S4.

Operating System
−
Hardware and drivers of controllers (e. g. VGA, audio, LAN, SCSI controllers).
The system board D1107 supports Save-to-RAM. Therefore the D1107 is certified by Intel
!
and Microsoft. This support must be also guaranteed by the operating system, the
extension boards and the power supply. For the time neither Windows 98 nor
Windows NT4.0 support this function reliably. Windows 2000 will support ACPI S3 fully.
Unfortunately only a few extension boards work with a functional Save-to-RAM support
(refer to http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/involve.htm). For the ATX power supply we
recommend a auxiliary power supply of 5V/1A.
