Okay, so I don't know if this happened recently or a long time ago, but I noticed a few days ago and was trying to solve the problem myself. I have an AsRock P45x3 Deluxe motherboard. Never really had any problems with it. I did notice it was running a bit sluggish after resuming from sleep, but I assumed it was because I have an HDD. Looking at CPU-Z I noticed that my processor was running at stock frequency (2.4G). I tried disabling all power saving features, but that of course didn't work. I also tried contacting AsRock, hopefully I get a response soon.

The one thing that did work was disabling Suspend to RAM, which is kind of useless because everything is still on and kind of defeats the purpose of having a sleep mode. Thanks! :)

Thanks, I already tried enabling HPET, but it didn't work. I'll see if I can get a hold of a fresh CR2032 battery. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

What's HPET anyway? I looked it up but I don't understand what it does.


edit: I pulled out the battery and it measures ~3.1v, do you think it's too low? I'm going to have to buy another battery later if it turns out to be the problem.

edit2: Board says the battery voltage is 3.26v, I don't know which one is right, but that one looks fine.

Are you doing your overclocking in the BIOS? If you used a program to do it when you're already in Windows, sleep might mess that up.

Yeah, I did all of my overclocking in the bios, this problem only happened recently.

Battery might be dying.

Try to reduce the OC and see if it still happens.

If not the board is not doing well.

Yeah, I have to go to the store and pick up a new battery when I have time, hopefully it's not the board. I don't think it's the overclock that's the problem though. It used to be at 3.3Ghz, now running at 2.9Ghz. Can't think of anything else to try. I hope it's only the battery, I don't have enough monies to build a new computer lol.

Good call on the battery guys!

ooiman92, I usually order those batteries online because local stores charge sooo much for them. I'd suggest Dealextreme or ebay.

As an experiment, you could try sleeping without the battery and see if the result is the same. It should be, but it'd be interesting if it wasn't!

Okay, so I swapped the battery from another known working computer and still the same result. I searched google and found something similar on another site:

http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?PHPSESSID=b3uk97fgjtf4k6prk1t1o1o6f1&topic=9237.15

Except I don't have a core i7. Maybe there's a similar setting for my motherboard? I'm thinking that it might be an issue with Windows, but I could be wrong.



edit: Okay I've installed windows on a spare drive and it seems like the problem is fixed, might have been one of the updates that is causing the problem. I'll try installing all of my programs and updates to the drive to see if I can reproduce the problem.

Just to be sure you are using S3 sleep?

Yeah, I'm using S3 sleep, I installed Windows on another hard drive to be sure it wasn't the motherboard and it ended up working, so I just reinstalled windows. Might have changed a setting, but ehh. Too much work troubleshooting, don't really have much on this computer anyway lol. :eek:
