Hope somebody here can help me out. Everytime my computer goes to sleep and I wake it, When I go to play any game its really choppy. Only solution I found so far was to restart it after sleep. Once restarted plays like a champ.

That is an interesting problem.  Have you tried updating your video card drivers?

I have experienced what you are going thru with my old rig on occasion when my pc went into hibernation.  Only thing I ended up doing with disabling hibernation as I could not come up with a better solution as I did make sure drivers were updated.  Not sure if this helps but good luck.

I would keep it from hibernating, then just shut it down when you know it's going to be off for a wile.

I had this indeed with videocards drivers, what I did was I just uninstalled the videocard drivers and startup the OS by running on "Save mode" and deleted the pagefile, raised the virual memory for the pagefile and I believe I deleted the hibernation file. When I was on it, I updated the BIOS and re-installed the videocard drivers. I always use the sleepmode and uptime cheat(188 hours up? , lol yeah right):

no really you have something else going on to cause this problem, something is clashing (running in the background) check the last couple of programs you have put on your computer, try shutting them down 1 at a time until the problem stops and there you'll find your fix...

It could have to do with win7, but also some motherboards have sleep issues, at least until they can issue new enough drivers to sort it out.  You check for new chipset etc...,  and video card drivers; but it still may have the issue.  Good luck.

Wow thanks for all the replies. I did disable sleep for the time being but I think I'll also look into MB drivers next. Thanks

 Gixxer not telling you how to run your computer but they do as a general rule need to be completely shut down for thirty seconds everyday! This has several reasons the main of which it cleans out a whole lot of unsaved unused garbage you computer collects while surfing the web. It will also help you in game believe it or not cause you wont have crap slowing you down. Now you may have other ways of accomplishing this but the easiest is a complete reboot!

Sorry Bigmeandean that is not true. You can run your computer like for days(like servers) and not having issues. The only thing that can happen are in Windows OS'ses are memory leaks that are still in the Windows Operating system today. That is why Unix/Linux works so much better with a better OS kernel.

 

I only reboot if my overclock system hicks up with those leaks and exploits need to be fixed by windows updates.

 

Overall:

 

It is very important to update and maintain you drivers, like said above, people keep on forgetting to update: system drivers like the chipset drivers, raid drivers and dx9 driver(which is the lower layer of DX10/11). Even the BIOS system can mean alot like to enable/disable the energy settings, apart from the Control Panel Energy savings.

Give us your system specs it may help find the problem.  All motherboards have issues with bios thats why the make so many updates!  My board has had 2 issues with the sleep modes  and they finally got a bios revision to fix it, you may need a flash to newer bios depending how old your system is or how new lol new stuff always have more frequent updates . Good thing my pc never sleeps, like its owner, it just passes out every once in a while !!!!

Man of leisure,

 

It's simple. With an SSD you DON'T want to use the HIBERNATION or SLEEP options....i's a big NO-NO.

 

You can put your monitor to sleep, and your secondary hard drive. But for the SSD (which runs your operating system) it's a no go...

 

It even SOMETIMES leads to the SSD not being recognized when coming out of hibernation...

 

Some people say that if you uninstall the Intel RST drivers (which comes with your motherboard drivers), the issue is gone...I have no clue about that, I never tried.

 

The RST is the Intel "rapid storage technology" driver, that is basically dealing with advanced storage options such as RAID...

 

Things your want disabled on your PC if you run an SSD as a boot drive:

 

-Hibernation and sleep (of the C: drive "the operating system drive")

-Defragmentation (it wears out SSDs prematurely, and it's NOT NEEDED on an SSD)

 

Things you MAY want to disable/mod if you run a 60GB SSD as a boot drive:

 

-Page file on disk (you may use a "stored in RAM" option instead if you got 8GB or more RAM)

-redirecting the internet CACHE from the SSD to a mechanical hard drive (usually your storage drive)

 

NOTE:

 

There is SSD utilities out there that tweak Windows to optimize for SSDs.

It worked perfectly fine on my P45/socket 775 motherboard, but on my P67 platform, it did lead to file corruption on my Windows install (BSOD with "memory management" error code). Dunno, maybe it was just bad luck...

So I re-installed Windows and modded myself (disable scheduled defrags, sleep and hibernating)...

 

MOFO

We had this very issue in the work place, and turned hibernation off.  What was causing the choppyness was two things.  Firstly the network cards were loosing their network connections, and had to do a DHCP request to obtain an IP address again, which took upto 2 minutes on the large corporate network we have.  Secondly, many applications, (for example antivirus suites have built in scheduled tasks to check for updates every so many hours).  Now because the machine has been to sleep and then woken up, those system use the system time as a check, realise it has been more than the alloted time since it should check, and subsequently fires off the scheduled task to check for an update.  Naturally if you have a few background apps that do this, your internet bandwidth will be reduced to play your game, thus the coppyness you report.

 

This may not be the case for you, but it was the definitive conclusion for our corporate network.  Again just turn this feature off, and you will be fine.

Mofo: I knew about defrag but never knew sleep was bad for ssd. I'll just let it run then cause of programs scheduled to update at night when not in use.

 

Cavey: I think you maybe right there is some program that just isnt waking well, could be a miriad of things. I do notice a delay getting Ip addy from router after sleep also so you may be on to something.

Use a power management toggle, power saver when you are not gaming and high performance when you are.
