Problem with sleep.
Home built computer running Windows 7 Utimate 64-bit. Intel i7930 - 6"GB Triple
Channel 3x2GB-2 - 2 Seagate Barracuda 500GB set to Raid 0 - and 2
additional 1TB hard drives. The computer has been running rock solid for
nearly a year.
Up until recently I have never used computer sleep, however, the way I use
the computer has changed, and I would like to set sleep to come on after a
delay of 30 Minutes. I set this up in Control Panel/Power Options/Create a
Power Plan.
Things work fine until I wake up from sleep - The problem is that the hard
drive indicator remains full on, doesn't blink just a steady full glow.
Everything continues to work correctly, I can use the internet and all the
software programmes that I've tried work.
Resetting the computer doesn't fix the problem a complete shut down and
re-start is the only way to get the hard drive indicator to show correctly.
Task Manager doesn't show any application’s being processed other than the
task manager - Processes doesn't show any disk activity.
I've turned sleep off and tried using the sleep button, the problem remains
the same.
Any help would be appreciated.
