   I recently upgraded my OEM BIOS to 3.8. Ever since then my system would not wake from S3 sleep. It bugged me beccause with 2 teenagers in the house the system comes in and out of S3 sleep a lot. Well . . ... it took a couple of weeks of trying hundreds of different settings, but I finally figured out why. With "over speed" protection enabled in the BIOS the system will not wake from S3 sleep. With it disabled S3 sleep works as designed. I have no idea why this is the case, but I can enable/disable over speed protection with the same effect on S3 sleep every time. Just a heads up here for other I7 X58 Platinum SLI users with similar hardware. 
 
Report the problem and your findings to technical Support and also your system configuration, so that they can check/reproduce the issue and hopefully fix it in a future BIOS Release:
