Trouble with S3 sleep - EX58A-UD7

[ed1]

I have very modestly overclocked my system to 150bclk x 21 multi (with turbo on) so far. Running F3g bios with S3 sleep selected in bios.

With Windows 7 64-bit, pressing Windows sleep button seemed to initiate a sleep to disk (hibernate) shutdown, actually taking much longer (about 25 seconds) than a regular complete shutdown (about 7 seconds).

When I changed the power settings in Windows to eliminate hibernate, pressing the Windows sleep button puts the system to sleep very quickly (as expected with S3 sleep to RAM) but then 3 seconds later it turns itself on without any user input and shows the Windows desktop again. If I then put the system to sleep again, it goes into S3 sleep and stays there, as expected.

I have not noticed any problems in resuming from S3 sleep.

Why is a double sleep shutdown necessary with S3 sleep? The hibernate sleep required only one shutdown.

Re: Trouble with S3 sleep - EX58A-UD7

I was just wondering why the system wakes up on its own 3 seconds after going into sleep mode. And why, when putting it to sleep immediately a second time, it stays asleep?

Also, why does this behavior happen some of the time and not every time?

You can check your event log for the system and see why the system is waking up. I had to do this several times when I computer would stay asleep overnight. It will even tell you what application or whatever is waking it.

Make sure Wake on LAN is disabled...that was my problem.

Re: Trouble with S3 sleep - EX58A-UD7

Thanks, everyone, for all of those suggestions. But, I had disabled all wake-up events in the bios setup (including wake from LAN).

I also disable most software auto updating, but not all. Media Center is set to get updated listings. But, I thought if wake-up events are disabled in the bios, software updates, even if scheduled, will not wake up the computer. Is that not correct?

I will check the event log, though.
