GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 Windows 10 sleeping issues

[lafave07]

I can't seem to get my computer to sleep in Windows 10. It worked fine in Windows 7. Both 64 bit.

I did a clean install of Windows 10 and used the Windows 8.1 drivers since there were no Windows 10 drivers for the GA-Z68X-UD4-B3.

I get unknown wake sources in Event Viewer and my energy report from PowerCfg -Energy doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas?

The thing is they might not make new drivers for windows 10 on that board. It could be drivers or it could be windows 10 too. What video card are you using? Any time you use older items on a new OS you will run into problems.

Plus windows 8 & 10 were really design for new board that support UEFI. If you are running the newest bios U1E to me that is not really UEFI. Yes they say it is but people really have had a lot of problems with it.

So the thing is you are trying to run windows 10 on a older board. Will you have problems more likely yes. One other thing is people are having problem with sleep on newer board too search the forum.

I've got a GTX 970 and I'm running the F10 BIOS not the beta UEFI because I couldn't get overclocking to work on that BIOS.

I was just hoping someone might still be running a Z68 board, thanks for your help.

One other thing you have to look at you running that nice video card on a board only supports 2.0 card. Yes I know you should be able to run it. We have many people have problem with 700 & 900 series card with those board. Even if you are running a Ivory bridge CPU it still only run the card at 2.0

I no this isn't the same but he was trying to run a new card too. http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=16503.0

Plus can you tell me if you were having problem with any other OS 7 or 8. If you were not then I would point my finger at windows 10. Sorry I hate windows 10 and I'm a Microsoft Partner too.

No problems on Windows 7 at all. This is the only problem on Windows 10.

I know this is an old motherboard and I have it paired with a 2500k OC'd to 4.4GHz. It runs all of the latest games I play at high to ultra settings at 1440p so I haven't found a reason to upgrade just yet.

I have a computer for sell with a Z68 board in it. The board was brand new never used when I got it this year. I deal with a computer repair store. They couldn't get it to run. It was that there was a couple of bent pins and trying to get a newer CPU to run.

I'm not taking any thing away from you that you have a older board. All I'm saying is we have had a lot of people with those boards. They had problems with 7 & 8 with new video cards & UEFI. Now we have windows 10 we can throw into the problem. 

But if that is the only problem with windows 10 feel lucky that is it. I do have to say is you are very lucky that with that board, sandy bridge CPU & windows 10.
