Solved ASUS M4N78 PRO No Sleep Mode

[Zeldafan1993]

Hey Guys
ok i noticed this A LONG LONG time ago and it just hit me that since im on this fourm now i should ask if anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it

ok so i got a ASUS M4N79 PRO Motherboard (it was brand new when i bought it) and every time if i put it to sleep and its a sleep for longer then like 40 mins when i try to "wake it up" by the movment of the mouse etc it fires up monitor turns on and the fans etc get going and the screen stays Black .

then i have to unplug it for liek 10 misn and then plug it back in and then turn the power back on to get the monitor to display (i have tried different monitors and graphics cards)

Thanks
-Matt

hello matt
have you checked to see if there is a bios update for your board ?

Yes i Do have the latest BIOS Update
i have had it for a while

 

[Zeldafan1993]

Also if it makes a Difference i got it Set to SATA instead of ACHI

 

[Zeldafan1993]

does anyone know why this is happening???

its been 1 week and no 1 has answered?

 

[Zeldafan1993]

does anyone have any suggestions????

Hey there Zeldafan1993; I have the exact same mobo. Double check your bios update...I do believe the latest version is 1302. Also update your chipset driver as well if you haven't already.

i have BIOS 1302 already i have had it for a long time, and i have the latest Chipset driver update

Are you using AI Nap for putting it to sleep - or the Win 7 Power Management? Can you wake your PC by pressing the power button on the case & do you get the same results?

I don't have the same ASUS board, but I have to wake mine by pressing the power button. Mouse movement doesn't do it, but it's no big issue.

 

[bassfisher6522]

The latest BIOS is 1303...if you checked the link. Im running 1302 as well but no need to update for me. I'm inclined with TBoyd that it's a setting issue.

 

[bassfisher6522]

I take that back I am running 1303...sorry for that.

 

[Zeldafan1993]

OK i just checked i do have 1303 , and i just hit Start>Sleep and the PC goes to sleep ill come back like 1 -2 hours later and the fans and everything start to run etc but the monitor just wont display anything and i have tried different Monitors and GFX cards too

PS my OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Check the monitor settings themselves, the monitors menu button and see if there is a setting.

 

[Zeldafan1993]

ok, i checked the monitor settings there's nothing about sleep or anything like that

 

[Zeldafan1993]

ok so i have now reinstalled my OS for the liek 3000 time when i got my RAM and CPU back from RMA and if i let the pc go to sleep and hit the power button on the Case it seems to lunch back up

so this is solved (for now)
