When a PC is in S4 (suspend-to-disk) or S5 (soft-off) state the main
power supply lines will be turned off.  There should be a separate
standby power line within the connector from the PSU to the motherboard.
It's possible that this is faulty or not connected properly, or the PSU
can't supply enough current.
