I recently upgraded my aging 1,1 Mac Pro with a pair of 5355 quad core CPUs. The install went fine, no real issues outside of a little frustration. The problem I have is in Windows 7 64-bit under Bootcamp. Everything works fine- until I put the computer to sleep. At wakeup, the system is sluggish to the point of uselessness. The screen redraws at an agonizingly slow pace. The task manager, if I can even get it to launch, indicates something is running 100% (I can't tell what as the window doesn't update). The mouse is jerky, and opening a program, even a tiny one, takes 30 seconds or more. The only solution is to hard reboot (can't launch restart as the cursor hops and the icon disappears). Everything works fine though after a reboot...until you put it to sleep. Then the same problem. It doesn't matter if sleep is overnight or 5 seconds. Sometimes, an odd set of sounds play after awakening from sleep...hard to describe but like a tapping sound. I have checked all drivers, system is up to date, ensured hibernation and power saving options are off. Can't figure it out.
I don't have this problem in Lion on the Mac partition. Computer sleeps, wakes up fine. This makes me think there isn't a hardware issue and the problem is Windows. Anyone seen this? I see some general frustration in Windows forums but no real solutions. Thanks.
