GA-P55-UD3L Wake from sleep

[jpe30]

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, I have all the proper drivers installed.

My problem is every time I put the computer to sleep it will wake up on its own after a couple of hours, for no reason.  I have no wake timer set in windows, I turned off the ability for all devices to wake the computer.  I turned off all of the wake setting in the BIOS, the only thing I have enabled in the BIOS Power Saving Utilities is HPET.  I suspect this may be a BIOS issue, but haven't been able to find any information about it.  This was only an issue after I upgraded my BIOS to the F5 version.

Any suggestions?

I would have to agrre with you, it sounds like a glitchy BIOS routine. If everthing is disabled in the wake settings then there is no reason why it should start up. Is there any reason why you cant revert to the BIOS before?

The old BIOS had issues with setting up the Core i5.  I can always try setting it up on an old BIOS again, but I was hoping the BIOS manufacturer would have fixed this by now.

Have you reported this fault to Gigabyte Technical Support or runnn3R the Forum Moderator?

[jpe30]

I haven't done that yet.  I'll shoot a message over to runnn3r now.

I would also make a formal question at Guigabyte Technical Service too. You can find them here:

The only thing is they are not exactly quick, it will probably take about 4 or 5 days.

OK, I just filled that out as well.  Hopefully someone can identify the problem.

Best to always hedge your bets when possible. Now at least you have three irons in the fire.

Hi jpe30

Thanks for your PM.

Such wake up can be caused by:
- some add-on PCI / PCI-Ex device plugged into the MB (if you have any just remove it, except the VGA of course )
- spikes, interferences coming from your power line through the PSU (use power filter or change the PSU into other brand)

Try to disconnect LAN cable to make sure there are no signals coming through this interface.

Please also try with F7 bios:

Then load default settings!

Surely as long as "wake on LAN" wasn't enabled in the BIOS having the cable in wouldn't make any difference?

Who knows? I saw strange things in my life, including some printer working incorrectly because of some exact model of keyboard connected to the PC....

Yes I suppose that's true. Not everything works as it's meant to, that's for certain or we wouldn't be here on the forum helping sort out all the problems.
