I haven't been on my gamer much lately, but anytime I have come back to it after a day or 2 of idle time, it will have either Blue Screened or the monitor will have woken up, but everything is froze. No Keyboard or mouse. Reset or cold boot is the only resolve. I have searched all afternoon,(it's raining..no yard work) trying to find a lead. So far while I was reading, I ran Memtest for 2 full passes, and it says its ok. In my research I found some "old" threads blaming power management. I have ran the same scheme since I built this rig a year ago. But anyway, I went ahead and made changes. I have always just had the monitor turn off after 20 or 30 minutes, don't use hibernate or sleep, but today I did find this hybrid sleep, so I disabled it too. I also disabled turning USB devices off, and went through device manage and made sure mouse was set to wake computer as well as turning keybord on to wake computer, and made sure both were not to be put to sleep. As of now, the olny thing going to sleep is the monitor. I am going to play a little while and then let it set to see how it responds. I still plan on doing a scandisk, and have already done malware scan. Have even debated a full format and reinstall, but gotta get a new external first, the old one is getting jittery and dont want to trust it with important stuff. If there is some more ideas, love to hear em. Waiting on the official release of the Nvidia driver for the newest one, I am running release 314.07, figuered Id just skip 314.22 since the beta for the next one is already 2 weeks old, it should be ready shortly. Thanks in advance for some input.

I do not do bios updates, I'm too chicken to tempt it. It's a year old build this month I think. Problem just started in the last 2 months, partly why I'm planning on the next nvidia update too. Thanks for the hibernation command

But so far it has remained on and stable through the whole night If it craps again, I'll try reinstalling it, as I do use it to control the PCU fans. I also use MSI Afterburner for the video fans.

I had to lower the mem freq. in the bios had to turn it down from 1600 to 1333 even though it is 1600 memory. the mb is now showing i have a triple core instead of a quad But i havent had a single issue since i adjusted the memory. 4-5 months ago. simplemod 1 Awards
