Hi Guys,
I am a new member as of today. I recently assembled my first PC from parts. And I am having a little trouble with the sleep/standby/hibernation mode (I am not sure which one it really is). I am running Windows 7 64 bit and the motherboard is Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3. I am not sure that my other components are necessary for you to know to assist me, if so, then I will check out exactly what they are when I get home from work.
I have Windows set to never sleep, and I went in and updated the advanced options to make the separate components never sleep. When I leave my computer on for a few hours is does sleep, and I cannot get it out of that mode unless I manually press the reset button, and then when Windows starts up it tells me that it was shut down incorrectly. I also messed around with the BIOS power configurations a little bit, I changed the ACPI suspend type from S3(STR) to S1(POS), which did not solve the issue, I put on the option to power up from mouse, but I still could not get it out of sleep mode by double clicking the mouse after I had done that.
Other than that, the computer seems to run fine, I've ran some games on it successfully, so I don't think it has anything to do with hardware compatibility issues. I think it has to do with the mobo, but I could be incorrect. My goal is to actually have the thing never sleep, or if it insists on sleeping, I want to easily be able to wake it up!
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
