3rd day now, running the computer with sleep enabled. It has faltered only once on the very first try after resetting a bios config. It has resumed from sleep after a very short period (2minutes), and also exteded periods (2hrs,8hrs,16hrs). So far I am hopeful that this entire headache was caused by my ignorance.

Again, the setting that fixed it so far was one in my memory config. "Power Down Ram" enable! Silly me, I thought that enabling this would cause the memory to power down and not resume. Maybe should be labeled 'power down to ram'. Also, the cold boot restart issue has gone away as well...so far.
Thanks for the help so far, I will forever remember these settings should I run across this bios version in future builds. I like the simple bios menus, but damnit, sometimes a tad TOO simpe?
