Specs:
Mobo: Z77X-UD5H rev 1.0 with F15q BIOS
CPU: Intel i5 2500k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 480
RAM: corsair vengeance 16Gb
PSU: 680 Watts
The issue: sometimes, when I wake from sleep, the system tries to wake, but ends up rebooting a couple times until I either disconnect power from the entire rig, or wait for a "boot error" message from the BIOS. The problem seems to correlate with the time I leave the system in sleep: for example, I can put the system to sleep and wake it without issue if I wake immediately after I put it to sleep, but if I leave it overnight it may have trouble waking.
I've been having this issue for a while now, with all BIOS versions, stock CPU clock speed or overclocked, various BIOS settings, etc. I'm running Windows 8, and this problem did not occur on Windows 7 when I had it installed previously.
I will be happy to answer anyone's questions. Thanks in advance.

Hi tomKPZ,
In windows, have you check a ''energy saving options'' or ''Power Options'' in Control Panel ?
Check all parameters for all materials in this Options...

In my power options, under sleep, the interesting options seem to be "allow wake timers", which I disabled, and "allow hybrid sleep", which I've enabled. Since the problem occurs so irregularly, I'll post back if it occurs, or I'll consider it fixed in a couple of days. Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, I just ran into the same boot problem again today. Any other suggestions?
I think it must be my windows installation. I've disabled the pagefile, hibernation, superfetch, prefetch, and some other windows features if it helps diagnose the problem. Perhaps I should take this to a windows forum?

If you find a Window forum, this is the best.

Tom,
when your system tries to wake, it shows the BIOS screen, and then the message "resuming windows" ? if this is the case, it is probably because of power outages during the night.
I had similar problems waking from hibernation, after a power cut. The problem solved when I changed the wireless usb keybord/mouse, with an older ps/2 keyboard and a usb mouse.

No, when I try to wake, the screen does not turn on until it reboots, then shows the BIOS screen. I'll try unplugging my keyboard and mouse before I put the computer to sleep next time.
