I've had this new setup for 5 mos. now and it has been working perfectly, sleep mode and all. Now all of a sudden, in the last two or three weeks it does not want to sleep, I haven't made changes to the hardware or software during this time.
The monitor will shut down as normal, but the comp will not shutdown, it just stays on, and after a while, when I come back to use the computer, hit the mouse, the screen will come on, and the mouse may or may not move again.
It will eventually freeze for 1 to 4 minutes before I can resume using the computer normally. (It's like sleeping with its eyes open). It will go through all the movement and keystrokes I hit during this freeze up period instantaneously.
What would be a likely cause?
bios has been F2, - using S3 mode__
Win 7 Ult. 64 bit
I've been trying different power options since this happened to no avail.
not running third party programs in the background, or utilities.
I have upgraded my ATI video drivers, problem still exists.
I have not changed my user habits during this time
Probably only installed windows updates to system
Is this something with the motherboard?
any suggestions
Thanks
