Work PC not waking

[TatamiMatt]

Hi all, odd problem i havent been able to work out, my work desktop sometimes doesnt wake from lock/sleep and im not sure, why, im not sure what info i can provide bar specs but let me know if you need anything else

 

Xeon E3-1226 v3

32gb 1600MHz DDR3, i cant recall the latency off the top of my head

Quadro K2000

870 EVO 500GB

 

Tis a HP Z230 with a few changes

Could be related to literally anything to the OS. Assuming you're on Windows, have you tried running "sfc /scannow" in the Command Prompt with administrator? It might seem far-fetched, but it's always worth a shot.

 

Edit: Resetting CMOS might be helpful, too.

Yes, ive run a sfc/scannow, i havent dabelled with the CMOS yet, wary to attempt too much as this is a company computer, but there are some things i can tinker with, ill give the CMOS a shot when it happens again

HP's own support website suggests updating drivers and stuff as well. You've done so already, right?

Have you tried holding the power button to see if it wakes up when click doesn't work?

Everything i could yeah, bar the BIOS, it works as is and i dont want to brick a work pc, even if only temporarily

Yeah, most combinations i could think of, and holding it down for any longer than i was doing forces shut down, which i usually end up having to do anyway

My last guess is trying a reinstall.

I have similar problem, where sometimes my PC won't wake up from sleep,

 

the fix might be in power settings or some similar settings that have the PC's sleep context.

c11 not that it matters since

its just some bare pcb jedec 1600c11

 

id try a cmos reset after saving bios settings or taking pics of all the menus but since this is a work computer might wanna try contacting the it department or whoever deals with configuring the computers at work

Yes, C11, youre right there

 

Ive contacted the It dept already, theyre just quite slow to get around to things so wondering if there was anything else i could do in the meantime

cmos reset maybe windows fixes and thats about it, id also add a restore point if you want to try the windows fixes so you can revert changes if neccesary

 

i mean i deal with ddr3 and i have some 1600 bin sticks just that theyre kinda worthless and dont clock high enough (3000+) though i guess i could do a re run of that cursed mix match triple channel albiet at 2800+ instead of a lousy 2656 =p
