I'm having trouble with a new z77 extreme4 build, with an i5-2500k and 16gb of ram. This is on Windows 7 64-bit, with 16 gigs of ram (3gb as XFast RAM disk).
I can't get it to sleep properly. In BIOS, I've changed the "Suspend to RAM" option (or whatever it's called in the ACPI section) both on and off. When it's Off, the computer will stay "asleep", but the fans keep running, which is non-optimal. I take it this is S1 sleep perhaps? While it might be lower power, I don't like that the fans keep running.
With the "Suspend to RAM" option set to on, the computer will at first enter "proper" sleep. I'll hear the power supply click off, and the fans turn off. However, after 2-3 seconds, it'll start right back up.
I have tried everything I can find on the ol' internet. I've tried hybrid sleep on/off, look for culprits in event viewer, checking "powercfg" options such as -lastwake (nothing shows) and -requests (also nothing there). Upon wakeup, after just a few seconds, the event viewer will show "Wake Source: Unknown", which of course is no help at all.
I have disabled my net card, turned off "allow to wakeup" on the mouse, keyboard, etc. Honestly, I feel like I've been through every purported solution out there, and yet everytime I test it and hit sleep, bam, 3 seconds later it wakes up again.
Would love a solution to this aggravating problem.
