Windows 7 won't sleep automatically Z68X-UD3H-B3

Windows 7 won't sleep automatically Z68X-UD3H-B3
« on: January 03, 2016, 10:04:36 pm »
I'm running Windows 7 SP1 64 bit, fully patched, and it will not automatically sleep. I have the power settings option to "Put the computer to sleep" set for 30 minutes, but the computer will not sleep even when leaving the computer running overnight with no applications running. I've tried disabling my antivirus, etc.

My system will sleep when I manually initiate sleep, and it then stays asleep and wakes normally. The issue is that it will not automatically sleep when I walk away and leave no applications running. My system is otherwise running very well.

I'm running an i5-2500K CPU on a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard with the F11 bios and 12Gb of DDR3 RAM. I have two WD Black 1TB drives in a RAID 1 array using the Intel ICH controller on the motherboard. I have an AMD R9 380 graphics card. The system is not overclocked.

I'm running all the latest patches and drivers. I've had this issue for at least six months (maybe a year). I've tried disabling my anti-virus and Carbonite.

I've tried several options to troubleshoot this, but I've had no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

I ran powercfg -requests, but I did not see anything holding it up:

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
None.

AWAYMODE:
None.


I ran powercfg -devicequery wake_armed, but only the keyboard is set to wake:

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
HID Keyboard Device (005)
HID Keyboard Device (011)


Finally, I've run powercfg -ENERGY, and here is the result:

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

I have the same MB in a computer that I'm selling. I'll check it to see if it will go into sleep mode.

Ok I was wrong on the board mine is the GA-Z68A-D3H-B3. Mine goes into sleep with no problem. But when is comes out it gets really ugly. I can't use the mouse or keyboard. I have to use the power by pushing it twice.

Then comes out of sleep with a blinking line in the top left corner. I have to restart it again. Then the screen it comes too resume or delete the resume point. I have to delete the resume point.

I'll have to play around some more to see if I can get it to work. Plus my board is up to date too F13.
