I recently swapped a new fanless Powercolor 512mb Radeon HD 4650 for my old Diamond 256mb HD 2600xt and now cannot wake up the computer with inputs from the keyboard, mouse or remote, once I put it in standby mode - I have to hit the power button on the front of the case. I've read about some other Radeon 4600 cards having similar problems in the Newegg customer reviews.
I have CCC v. 8.12 installed and used Driver Cleaner Pro to clear old drivers out before installing it.
Is there something that can be done, aside from seeing if CCC v. 9.1, 9.2, 9.5, etc.... cures the problem, to take care of this?
Presently, I've just been hooking up the computer via HDMI adaptor, to the front HDMI plug on my Hitachi plasma, but have also tried it to a 15" LCD monitor and there's no difference with the standby issue. I intend to connect it to my Denon AVR 887 receiver via HDMI for both audio and video, but my current POS Joytech HDMI switch won't switch (I have 3 HDMI components going in to the TV, only two HDMI inputs on the receiver and no easy way, short of cutting holes in my drywall, to run a second HDMI cable to my TV, so I need a switch) and replacements at Monoprice are on backorder for at least another week, but I'll eventually connect it all with a Monoprice 4-in-1 HDMI switch.
One other thing, I'm within a couple of days of my 30 day Newegg return period running out on the Powercolor card. I want to stick with a Radeon 4600 series card for the combination of video processing, gaming ability and short length (the 4650 squeezes in my case with
