Title: Wake issues GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.3) UEFI U1h
Post by: GrinRoth on August 23, 2012, 07:24:09 pm

Hi,
I recently updated the bios of my mainboard GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 from BIOS to UEFI (u1h).
Since then i have problems waking my pc from sleep.

When I try to wake it after sleep the system keeps powering on and off again. Display remains black, all I can do is power it off by holding the power button and then start it up again.
This is a big issue for me, because i used to use sleep all the time.

Is this a known problem? If so, will it be fixed in the next UEFI release?

Hope to hear from you.

I have a similar problem (same board with U1h) but the PC fails to enter sleep properly. It's set to sleep after an hour, but often can't be woken with keyboard or mouse - as it's fully powered down. I then get a "Windows failed to shutdown properly..." when I power it up. This is not a HUGE problem for me, as it is very fast to boot from SSD, even faster now with the UEFI BIOS. But still a niggle.

What is a HUGE problem is that I can't overclock my 2500K or RAM anymore! Both overclock superbly, but are stuck at stock. :(

It would be nice to get an updated (and non-beta) UEFI release soon, or at least an official (ie Gigabyte approved) method to revert to the old F12 BIOS.
