Sleep Mode

[NoLife]

How can i fix this, or can i.
I have looked it up and says to (Contact your hardware vendor to obtain the updated firmware and BIOS to address this issue.
I have the new bios 4804,I get this on every bios i put in.
this is what microsoft says(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028443)

Sleep issues are usually memory related. Try temporarily running your memory at 1600 to see if the problem goes away.

Do you have the EZ_Plug 2 connector plugged in?

You could also try raising your DRAM voltage, or VCCSA by a small amount.

Then we'll know that it's somehow related to your RAM

The EZ plug 2 connector is the small 4 pin connector, it's the same as a 3.5" floppy power connector. It provides extra power to the RAM, and although you probably don't need it, you are having issues that are probably RAM related, so you might as well plug it in, if you can.

You should be able to do this in the BIOS, on the same page where you set the XMP profile.

I would try these things one at a time though. If you try them all together, then you won't know which of them worked, if any.

The EZ_Plug 2 is a small 4pin plug that you can plug a floppy drive power connector onto. Have a look in your manual, it will tell you exactly where it is. You probably don't need it, but plugging it in wont cause any issues, and might solve yours.

There are a few things we can try now. Firstly, run memtest86+ for at least 2 passes, 3 if you have the time. This will tell you if you have faulty memory. If it fails, RMA the RAM

If that passes, see if you can get a spare HDD, install windows on it, and see if the sleep issue persists there. This will tell you if the issue you're having is due to a corrupted Windows install.

Are you sure my mb has that 4 pin because i looked at the manual and i cant find anything about it.

I did memtest and on the first run i had xmp enabled,so it did 1 pass but on the second pass my computer restarted.so i disabled xmp and ran 2 passes without a problem.

I just redid my install. but i will try another hdd .when i get a chance again .thanks
