I have been having this exact same problem with Dell Optiplexes GX270, GX 280 and
GX520. I have contacted Dell several times and tried lots of different changes. I
have the power settings set to always on and the hibernate checkbox unchecked. I
too have changed S1 and S3. The last Dell support guy I talked to said I needed to
update the video drivers. This made sense because I completely erased the hard disk
on one of these computers and it works as I want. So far i have updated the video
driver, the NIC driver and flashed the BIOS and am still having the problem.
When the computer goes into this state, the power light flashes green. The mouse
or keyboard will not wake it up. Only pushing the power button will wake it. I have
even uninstalled the power button devices in the device manager.
This is not a major problem, I just have to explain to all the users what to do.
An annoyance!!!
