LDT_RST# measure whether LDT_RST# (Q43.E)is running.If LDT_RST# signal dont run,
check PWR_GOOD(VRM_GD),NB_PWRGD,SB_PWRGD,and so on.

RSMRST#: check whether RSMRST# voltage value is 3.3V at S5 .The RSMRST# is charge
of reseting sleep sequence.The RSMRST# level is still low so the MB doesnt operater
well.At this state ,you can cut the trace for find the problem out.
