To My Dearest Fellows, 

 

Good Evening. Today I am saddened to inform you that I have been experiencing a few problems with my custom built computer. The issue is that on some occasions, not every time, when I put my computer into sleep, it will turn off the screen, keyboard and mouse, but the case lights, fans and cpu cooler all seem to be on and the computer hanging (frozen). Clicking the mouse or keyboard buttons results in nothing. resultantly, i am forced shutdown by pressing the power button. 

 

When I turn the computer on again, on some occasions the computer does not post fully, and will turn on and hang. The solution to this is usually pressing the cmos button, and reconfiguring the bios.

On other occasions the computer will post and then provide me with a message stating that the overclocking failed. I then have to reconfigure my overclock which has been stable for as long as i can remember. 

 

My system specs are as follows: 

 

i7 3970x + h100i

32 gb corsair ddr3 1600mhz

Asus Rampage IV extreme 

3 x 240gb samsung 840 pro

2 tb western dig caviar black 

2 x gtx 780 

 

what i have tried. 

 

I had a similar problem in windows 8.1 however, having done some research I found that turning of hibernate function with the powercfg -h off function in cmd prompt fixed the issue for me. 

however, in windows 10 the problem is not remedied with this solution. 

 

I have updated my bios also. 

 

However, the problem still persists, inconsistently. 

 

Details of overclock are: 4.6ghz @1.37 volts, my temps are very good and my system performance is also always been very good. My ram is also healthy and stress tests have shown no errors. 

 

I could remedy the problem by not using the sleep function, but I do find it to be of great use and this would be a shameful solution for a grown man like me. We must unite our minds and solve this for humanity!

 

Kindest Regards,

I would try running Your cpu at stock speeds to see if it is a stability issue.

|Thanks Dolphin. I've updated all my drivers and my power management settings have been checked through thoroughly. But this hasn't solved the issue. 

Well I'm all out of ideas, i'll check back if i think of anything else.
