Sleep issues :: black screen

[Oneltech]

Hello guys,

Recently about a month or two ago I started having an issue with my pc. So basically, I have it setup so it goes to sleep after 45 mins of inactivity but instead of doing that it goes to a blackscreen and all the hardware goes on full load like my gpu, fans, everything just starts going spinning like crazy and giving out heat. I once went into the troubleshoot in Windows settings and troubleshooted the power and it found a problem with sleeping and said it fixed it but 2 days later same problem. Now even if I manually click sleep it does the same thing, and it happens 90% of the time the pc is put to sleep. I tried troubleshooting the issue by my self but couldn't find anything, powercgf says everything is fine.

The only new hardware I installed on my pc is a wifi card, and it was installed a month after the problem started, I checked for software updates but everything is up to date.

I'm getting so annoyed at this point, I've been using my pc for about 1 and 1/2 years now and I usually have it on sleep most of the time.

 

pc specs:-

msi x99a sli plus

i7 6800k

MSI gtx 1080 gaming x

32 gb crucial ballistix ram

corsair h115 or 110

2tb hard drive and 250gb ssd

 

all my USB ports are used 24/7 I checked if any of the usb devices was causing an issue but it doesn't seem like it.

 

I overclocked my gpu and cpu about 3 months ago but I don't think they're causing the issue as it started 2 months after overclocking, but it could be a reason.

 

Thanks in advance.

Can you remember what the windows troubleshooter found? It may help to find the cause as sleep/hibernation issues can be caused by a bunch of things such as bad/buggy drivers, incorrect settings, bugs in the BIOS, a borked install of windows ect.

I would point towards this being something buggy with your windows install. I have had similar experience with my personal rig doing the same

It just said something along the lines of " Windows detected and issue with sleeping: taking too long to sleep " or something like that.

What do you mean by that? I've had the same windows on this pc for about 1.5 years and the issue only started a couple months ago

Right...might as well say "we found an issue but we're not telling you what it is!"  

 

Any possibilities that you can create a partition on your HDD and maybe do a fresh install of windows?

I will give it a couple of days because the issue seems to have fixed itself as I was tinkering and swapping hard drives from my other rigs to my main rigs, if it happens again I'll reply here again, thanks

Ok, problem's back, even worse than before... Now I have the same issue as before plus whenever I put my computer to sleep it just doesn't go to sleep, my monitor turns off but computer still on, if I click anything on the keyboard or move the mouse the monitor will turn back on. So when I try to put my computer to sleep it is either the first issue or the second one... And now my powercgf shows something but I don't know what it is.
