My PC will tend to not wake up when it has been idle for maybe 30mins plus. My screen is set to turn off after 10mins, when I try to wake it up nothing happens basically, but the HDD (SSD) light is normally blinking.

My power save options are all set to Windows 7 default apart from:

  • Changed 'Turn off display' to '10mins'
  • Changed 'Put the computer to sleep' to 'Never'
  • Changed 'Turn off hard disk' to 'Never'
Thanks for the help, SF diagnostic files are attached.

Also I would be a good choice to update the Display drivers. Check this article to know how to update the Drivers : How to Update Drivers on Windows 7 | Captain Debugger

My display drivers are definitely up to date (my AMD gfx card has a driver update checker) and I'm pretty sure my mobo battery is not dead as it's only a few months old!
