Mines been asleep for Jesus a week or more probably I wonder if it will wake up. I haven’t had any issues previously I wonder what the root cause is.

And that's the difference between Intel's "quality" and that of AMD and NVIDIA.

I’d already put a soon-too-be-discontinued ARC 770 Founders 16GB into a checkout basket. Thanks for posting the news @btarunr . If a crash happy ARC needs a power cycle to get out of screensaver sleep then it’s a no no from me. i have now removed said item from basket and will keep my nv quadro a little longer

This also happened with some NVIDIA GPU's some years back, not sure if it was with GTX 780 or GTX 1070. At the time a work-around was to put GPU at maximum power instead of "optimal power". They will fix it here at Intel as well... eventually I guess.
