Hi. People.. I'm new here and never really don't bother joining forums but I had to join this one as i'm tearing my hair out trying to find out why my computer monitor wont waken from sleep mode.. As it had no problem waking from sleep mode before I upgraded, and swapped everything out for new..
I recently upgraded my whole computer to the following:
GIGABYTER ASSASSIN G1 KILLER MOTHERBOARD. X58 CHIPSET.
INTEL 990X EXTREME PROCESSOR
SILVERSTONE 1500 WATT POWER SUPPLY
NOCTUA D14 CPU COOLER
GAINWARD 580 PHANTOM 3 GRAPHICS CARD
CRUCUAL 12Gb DDR 3 RAM
Module Size: 12GB kit (4GBx3)
Package: Ballistix 240-pin DIMM
Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • 10
WESTERN DIGITAL 1Tb MAIN DRIVE BLACK EDITION 7200 - 64Mb SATA
WESTERN DIGITAL GREEN 3Tb BACKUP DRIVE SATA
SEGATE 750Gb system restore backup DRIVE. SATA
LG BLURAY recorder and writer sata interface
Liteon RECORDER AND WRITER sata interface
I have all this housed in the LIANLI P80 FULL TOWER COMPUTER CASE, oh and my monitor is the Dell 3008WFP MONITOR
The power supply is plugged into the wall socket all on it's own and the rest of my components are connected by their own separate wall plugs IE Printers and scanners.
I have not overclocked anything on my system, everything is at stock settings.. I UPDATED THE CHIPSET AND DRIVERS GRAPHICS AND MOTHERBOARD.
When I put my computer to sleep or if I leave it and it goes to sleep when I come back and move the mouse or tap the keyboard, the fans on my computer whirr up hard drive whirrs up graphics card turns on and all my dvd drives start as well. Basically everything turns on except my monitor, I have read every single piece of information on the net to try and rectify why my computer screen wont switch on from sleep..
My computer screen just sits in a dormant state, even the wee orange led light wont turn blue to denote waking up all I do is switch off from the wall plug and turn back on then it resumes woindows, in A much slower state until it sorts itself out, but I shouldn't have to do that, as it is so inconvenient..
Please if anyone on here has the same problem as me please can you reply with A solutiuon.
Many thanks in advance and thank you for your time and help, it is appreciated.
Respectfully

Hi and welcome.
The normal reason for the system not recovering after sleep is because it is not 100% stable. It could be software but is more likely a hardware problem. Make sure that all the BIOS settings are correct for your computer hardware as that is often where the issue starts.
-
You may have to do a clear "CMOS" and see if that gets you out of sleep mode. Maybe even pull battery and unplug power for 30 min.
After clearing CMOS, if it you can go back into bios and select reload defaults and then save and restart comp and see what happens.
I believe there was another poster was having similar issues with his G1 Sniper don't know if it ever got resolved.
-
The thing is dannydag1 curing the immediate problem is not difficult but the hard bit is getting it sorted so that it doesn't happen again. ;)
-
My computer setup is stable the motherboard and graphics card are both %100 I would say it would have to do with the bios setup somehow myself.. So maybe do what dannydag1, suggested.. Thanks
-
You say your computer is 100% stable but can you be certain ? Can you run Prime95 and Furmark both together for 24/7 ? or even LINX or some other stress test programs. Have you tried running Memtest86+ fully on single modules for at least 10 loops each ?

Dear Dark Mantis.
I don't find you are very helpful at all, your replies are generic and as bout as helpful as an ash tray on a motorbike.. I have tried everything that's why i'm here trying to get some useful information or a fix that maybe another member has experienced witht this motherboard.. It has something to do with the USB 3 Drivers and you just blurted out something which was totally of track and irrelevant to my particular problem. Maybe if you actually reseracherd and fact find a solutiuon to a particualr problem instead of trying to reply to everyone who writes here building up your credability would maybe suit you better, but your definitely no help on here are you DARK MANTIS.. You naught time waster you. TUT. TUT. TUT. ;D
-
The same thing happened to me with a G1.Sniper and BIOS F3. I've just updated my BIOS to F4b and now it works!
Try to update your BIOS to F5B (the last one for G1.Assassin motherboard)

Well I am so sorry that I don't meet with your approval and obviously I should not try to help anyone else on this forum then. Really gutted! :'( :'( :'(
If you know my suggestion is not on the right lines why are you asking for help when you obviously know so much ?
-
I just hope people remember they are here to give HELP and Advice to make are gigabyte experience more enjoyable.
I also hope people don't let their ego get in the way of their job.
Know if you know a fix and don't want to share it, then why are you here?
Dark I don't question your knowledge or believe I know a half of what you know and I believe you know your s@#$ other wise you would not be a moderator.
The fact is Dark your post have been very condescending and I see know reason for the gang up fest for a person that is just looking for answers.

I have just quoted my post above and can't see any way in which it could be misinterpreted as condesending at all. Merely trying to point out that OB1 may have considered his system to be stable but it might well not be and these are ways to make sure.
Sorry if you took it wrongly and no condesention meant I assure you.

Right ..... back to your corners guys ........Bunch of girls!......Hee,hee,hee..... I have the gift of being Australian with all the attitudes where know for!.....especially ...."A Spade Is A Spade" ......The Advise DM gave was actually Spot-on at the end of the day..........it's his job to play Devils advocate to look to things we may have missed.......even slight system instability will draw out all those little nagging issues, usb hubs going down, programs misbehaving, not waking up when there supposed too
If you don't like the answer to your question..........Don't ask it in the first place ! ... If i had to choose a "condescending post" in this page......it would be OB1s response to DMs Advice.............Do you really think with 12,000 plus posts under his belt he just plucked it out of the air!
I have the same problem at times where I just don't have the time to explain and educate at the same time ... some people insist on having a debate as to why their smoking PSU with a bullet hole through it is fine and it must be sumfing else..............A resource with that much experience at your disposal.........would it not be a good idea to listen and explore a possibility even if it's just for the exercise of ruling out that area?
Dannydog1..........Get your facts right before advising others.......load optimized default..... not select reload defaults.....This is a Band-aid fix at best as DM tried to point out........so OB1.......did Dannydognuts advice fix the problem long term... ::) :'( ...probably not!
Well this is the painful bit I was talking about earlier re educating people..........it's been said, temperature is the biggest killer of a PC.........well number two is the frequency of temperature in a PC....on,off.on,off,on,off hot,cold,hot,cold work hardens all those little copper tracks all through your PC..........eventually one goes "PING"...... or becomes a thermal switch for a while.......ask any laptop owner that's had his graphics chip reballed
Open power plan and create a "power plan".....sure have your Monitor go off after say 20/30mins....but have your PC "ON" Forever!....power states rarely work perfectly......when your PSU is in a low power state.....what's held in memory is very suseptable to power surges,spikes and brown outs when there's no UPS present....( ;)"Big Tip" ;))
I'm not having a PC I built and payed for telling me when it's going to sleep......It can shut when I tell it too.........I also use "Garbage collection" so I don't want my PC going for a snooze while it's supposed to be doing house keeping.......And that would fix your problem!

Pretty much on the ball there and spot on Allan. I am glad you had the time and energy for such a long post to explain to these members and hopefully now they will understand and fix their problem. ;)

OB1 ... this is why you need to be nice to people ...ALL THE TIME! ;)
Taken from a fellow forum member......with full credits of course......
I've discovered a bug in G1.sniper motherboard. It can't resume from suspend (S3 state) using Windows 7 ultimate 64 bits (SP1).
I've identified the cause: it's due to the Renesas USB 3.0. It happens with the drivers in Gigabyte's web (2.0.30.0) and also with the latest drivers from station-drivers (2.1.19.0). Disabling the USB 3.0 in BIOS works (but you lose the 3.0 speed).
On ya jlcb03 from Spain...USB3 Renesas and it's installation is still proving to be a little buggie.....especially if not done by the book

Thank goodness I just switch My PC on & off when not required. From what I've read odd
things happening in sleep state that are very complex. Things are moving far too fast &
nothing gets sorted. All that happens is something new comes out to create yet more
problems. I quickly found out USB 3 had to be dumped on X58. With all problems you have
to start at basics & simple tests as each PC has different software & hardware so not
always a miracle answer. Politeness & patience is usually the best solution or bin it &
go back to smple PCs !!! ::)
Regards tinker.
-
Yes I would have to agree with you there Tinker. The pace of change in our industry is just too much at times and things get released to market without enough testing because all manufacturers are trying to beat the others. It is the price we have to pay I am afraid for the innnovation that is happening all the time in PCs.
The main trouble is that it is always the customer who pays and also beta tests everything in the wild.
-
Another angle/slant is the Plethora of items a Motherboard must be compatible with and still function as designed ............. stricter policing or tighter policy by JEDEC would alleviate a lot of the problems Gigabyte face in implementing High end , stable platforms with all the bells and whistles .....
You have to ask yourself how does one brand of memory work perfectly in a Z68 board but brand "Super Duper X" fail to even post..........if all memory manufactures are following JEDEC specified spec to acquire a license for distribution for a given product...... how has "Super X failed or who failed "Super X" ....
Tighter criteria put forward by JEDEC would see higher compatibility across the industry .... and reduce my workload substantially.

In one sense Allan it would be good for the customer if there were a governing body that overlooked
the whole industry. As a novice & there is such a thing then they are not doing their job. I read recently
that a lot of problems are being caused by using uncertified memory. Even to the point that memory is
being made to suit certain chipsets. Having read a recent returns form done with test results, displayed on
this Forum was disgusted with Gigabyte on the test being done using only two sticks of memory.
I've run an X48T-DQ6 for probably well over three yrs. Only problem to start with was PSU died. Had it
repaired as irreplaceable. Then I doubled memory using extra slots. Expensive DDR3, next thing constant
freezing. Rather than waste a lot of time, purchased more memory double size using 1 & 3 slots only.
The GA-EX58-UD3R was an easy board to program & appeared very stable but...intermittant memory problems.
never been used apart from progamming. Expect I will get that back with a bill for no fault found. !!! I notice
with all the recomended memory from Gigabyte, 1 or 2 gb. Do they ever test their boards with full memory
capacity.
Apart from AMD, Intel seem to call all the shots even with M$. Look at the last disaster with series 6 CPU.
It's non ending, faster PCs are produced so then the software apps become larger to slow them down.
Win 7 was quite quick to start with then came the updates to beat the morons that put out malaware & hackers.

Quite true. I often think how much faster and smoother our systems would run if we didn't have to consider maleware and viruses.
As for the memory QVL I wouldn't ever advise anyone to use Gigabyte's website and always point them, in the direction of the manufacturer as they are much more encompassing and reliable.
-
What I didn't add in last post DM Re returned board. It would run on 2 sticks of
Memory but problems with three. Often boards need testing to full capacity on Memory.
Regards tinker.
-
True enough Tinker. We shouldn't assume that anything works as it should without testing to see if it does. If you think about it how many of us know for certain if our motherboards will run properly if filled with memory. Most people just assume it will but never put it to the test.
-
I'm certain ;D
Aussie Allan
-
Well of course Allan but only because you have yours all filled! ::) I know mine does as well but I don't have the banks all up and running at the moment. ;)
-
When are these new boards coming out with 48GB support...DruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuL!
Aussie Allan

Did you see my reply to your JEDEC post a bit higher up Allan.
Regards tinker.

Aussie Allan
I know Allan but it isn't just the support for the memory, it's the cost of it as well. Like now I could fill mine with 8GB sticks but they are just too expensive at the moment and the 4GB are at the sweet point. I couldn't afford to buy 8GB modules even though the board would support them. :'( :'( Thinks...who wants some 8GB RAM sticks reviewing?
-
Yes Tinker....In one sense Allan it would be good for the customer if there were a governing body that overlooked
the whole industry.....that exactly what JEDEC is supposed to do....but if even you don't know that , they seem to be failing in there primary goal
the test being done using only two sticks of memory. Sadly it's only been in the last 2 or 3 years that I'd say 40% of people fill all the banks now higher density memory is available.......most people still think and use 6 or 8GB of memory....so gigabyte follow suit and probably test with 4Gb
Aussie Allan

Agree to a point Allan but... our boards are triple memory so most people would go for 3x 2gb so
still at 6gb but in theory running faster & making use of Intel support. Same as using dual mode in past.
I purchased, after probs with other board & memory some more memory to test on it. Got 12gb at a
lower price than I paid for 6gb. 3x4gb. Though 1600 at 1.65v, JEDEC standard was 1333 at 1.5v. It was
Kingston Hyper X. Purchased similiar 1600 but at 1.5v 2x2gb for older X48T & that auto set at 1333 on
Win 7 32bit.
What I find strange with Intel spec is they recomend 1066 or less. The Kington Memory is now being used
for our X58A board. On that it ran at 1066 so for time being just upped x to 1333. XMP ups it to 1600 at 1.65v.
Until time for a bit more research have left at 1333.
Regards tinker.

The same thing happened to me with a G1.Sniper and BIOS F3. I've just updated my BIOS to F4b and now it works!
Try to update your BIOS to F5B (the last one for G1.Assassin motherboard)
Yes thank you this bios version cured my probles, and thank you for the imformative and genuine help.. I tried this and hey presto fixed.. Thank god someone on here has the brains and expertise to trouble shoot poor punters motherboard problems.. Your comment was genuine and very helpful you kinda put the moderators to shame.. Anyway I ahve a long haul flight in da morning so will be jet setting away all over this world and will be away from this computer for likely 8 months, I'll report back here on my next leave, home.. BON VOYAGE..

OB1........you can't help yourself can you :D
Sounds a bit like what my brother says to friends when he breaks parole and has to go back in
If you find some soap in the shower...........Pick it up!

I agree, I think someone has a big problem. ::)
-
Seems like someone has had a problem with authority or higher ranking people in past and childhood(probabbly not popular guy at kindergarden and school). So he is just dissing everyway and everytime he can somebody who is earned a bit higher position.
Well OB1 ... why moderator start from scratch with Your problem is because it happens too often that some obvious things (maybe not obvious for everybody allways) has been left unnoticed and then the problemsolving might take 3 hours instead of 1. Also as they can't see Your system and check all the things they could at place they need to be sertain to rule out usual and basic problems to get the right solution.
Mybe Your description of problem is not so good ... people tend to understand same sentences differently sometimes especialy when they have not had the same problem themself before.
OB1 you mouthing off at first sign of something You don't think is suitable for You is just plain stupid, unmature and seemably caused by some psychologycal thingy.
(sorry for my english if I have made mistakes)

Don't worry about your English Vapperhiir .......your understanding of the procedure involved is spot on.............as was your ability to reads some ones real personality.......feel free to post more often ;)
To be Fair.......... He might have just got out of the wrong side of the bed and took an "Arsehole Pill" instead of vitimin "B"

I have the same board, and the same problem. I have not found a fix. BUT, if I let the system start after sleep mode. Everything appears to come on. I give it a minute. Screens never come on. Wait, wait, wait. nothing. Screens are black. All fans running, all hdd's spin up, Video card fans start,etc.
So after waiting 30 seconds to a minute after machine starts from sleep. Screen are black. If I turn off the main monitor and then turn it back on. The system comes out of sleep and the Windows start sound is all garbled. System appears to start up and run. Well other than the Windows start sounds and having to turn the monitor on/off.
System is running at stock speed except the memory. It also runs extremely cool. Never exceed high 50c under heavy load,Prime95,etc.
G1 Assassin MB

bla,bla,bla
ram past all test, several times. I have also tested it an my older Asus Sabertooth MB. That system was overclocked. CPU overclocked to 4.2 GHz and the ram at XMP speeds, same as this one.
I guess I can try the new Beta BIOS...
Anyone have anything???
Thanks
