Can someone tell me what the hell is with the damn standby in #CurrentYear? I have a brand new system with highest spec'd PSU that complies to highest ATX standards (v2.4) and carries a Platinum efficiency, I'm using the latest Windows 10 and when I want to wake PC from sleep it just cycles between bootup and shutdown indefinitely, like it has no frigging clue what it has to do after being in sleep for several hours. Not only that, I can't break it out of this damn cycle no matter what. Pressing reset or forcibly powering it down, I had to unplug it, wait for all capacitors to get empty and then it finalyl booted. But wait for it, it has resumed to where it left off, it wasn't a clean boot. What the hell? Standby has NEVER worked since I've sold my old X58 platform and bought a new X99. I've even tried changing ErP setting in BIOS and nothing changed. I've also tried using stock CPU clocks and it failed just the same.
My specs are in my profile. At first I thought it was my older Corsair HX750 PSU. Bought a new one and nothing changed. Then I thought my 2TB HDD had too high spin up time and Windows gave up half way, explaining why it can't boot. I'm now on frigging fastest SATA SSD and it's still the same. I didn't upgrade those just because of this, but it was in my mind. So, what the hell is going on?
