Sorry, I have to wait a little longer. But, definitely I will install
Linux on a second computer (a server ).

The present Bios's data are

Program: eSupport.com BIOS Agent Version 3.41
BIOS Date: 05/07/08
BIOS Type: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG

Chipset: AMD 9600 rev 0

I felt its pretty much up to date referring to my hardware. That's
also why I think it's something not related to software or
programming, or the bios itself.

The motherboard side of things looks like a dead end. The downloaded
manual is 17 pages, and has no BIOS screens. I tried Googling, but
I'm not finding much that I can read. (Some hits in Germany and
Vietnam.)

Have you tried the "dumppo.exe" utility from Microsoft ? It runs
in a DOS window.

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/Oemtest/v1.1/WOSTest/Tools/Acpi/dumppo.exe

dumppo.exe admin cap

The output looks like this. There is a claim, that dumppo
can also report if a driver is not ACPI compliant, but
I have yet to see any proof of that.

If you redirect the output to a file, that makes it easier to
copy the output.

dumppo.exe admin cap > output.txt

This thread, covers handling the case where the computer
won't go into S3 Suspend To RAM. But this is only worth
doing, if everything else is correct to start with.
And without more evidence, I can't say whether that
is the case here or not. This only works for minor setup
problems.
