Updated hardware; now Windows 7 crashes when waking from sleep
I've been searching around online for the past few hours trying to find a solution from this, to no avail.
Problem:
I recently upgraded my old computer's motherboard/cpu to an Asus Z87-PRO and i7-4770K respectively.
At first I didn't bother doing a fresh install; I just uninstalled the old Mobo drivers and installed the new ones, which I thought worked at first. That is, until my computer first went to sleep.
Every time it wakes up, whether put to sleep on a timer or manually, it lets me log in with my password and then freezes at the welcome screen.
But here's where it gets weird.
Sometimes, but not all the time, I will get an error stating:
The weirder thing is that when it shows, it isn't always the same process that is named (which is why I didn't include it).The instruction referenced at 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX referenced memory at 0xYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. The required data was not placed into memory because an I/O error status of 0x0000000e.
Click on OK to terminate the program.
Regardless of whether this happens, it always shuts down after a little bit of waiting, but never reaches the desktop. This issue has *only* happened when waking up from sleep mode, and otherwise the entire system has worked fine (Side note: It also died when it woke up to do automatic updates in the middle of the night).
It does not, however, yield a BSOD, meaning I don't have a memory dump to go from.
My attempted solutions:
At first I attempted reinstalling Windows 7, because I figured it's possible that one of the old drivers could have caused an interference of some kind.
This, however, had no beneficial effect. All it did was require a few hours of updates -.-
After this, I attempted finding all the updated firmware for the Motherboard's chipset/sata drivers, just in case that was the issue. Still nothing.
Then I found an article with a similar problem on Tom's Hardware, and so i tried setting the disk to never turn off (I also followed a series of SSD optimizations from an article there as well). Still no luck.
Finally, in desperation, I updated my BIOS firmware. Of course, no luck.
I really have no idea what this could be. I have used this same SSD for Windows for the past 2 years, and I've been through 2 other motherboards with no problem.
For those wondering, this is my current setup:
Setup:
CPU: Intel i7-4770K
Mobo: Asus Z87-PRO
Graphics: 2GB VRAM GDDR5 XFX AMD Radion 6870X
Memory: 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance
OS Drive: 60GB Corsair Force 3 SSD
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Does anyone here have any suggestions for trouble shooting to hopefully make this work? I don't know what else to do!
