RIVE sleep issues

I've got issues with my board going to into sleep mode, waking from sleep mode and staying in sleep mode; you name it, this gutter trash motherboard struggles with anything S mode related!

I think disabling 'wake on magic packet' reduced the frequency of the unprovoked wakes, but since the board almost never obeys my sleep timer, this doesn't help much!

I've also had the thing refuse to fully wake on occasion too; the screen stays blank and the keyboard borked, but the lights and fans are whurring away!?

I've got the board completely stock, no overclocks and nothing whatsoever deviating from the 'Optimized defaults'.

It could be one of the latest BIOS updates, so I'm trying to revert to 4702, but keep getting the 'image outdated' message; I thought this was just related to the BIOS/UEFI transition, but it seems to affect a revision 2 rounds old!? I tried the BIOS renamer, but it still comes up with this message.

I totally hate this board, it can't get anything right, not even the basics such as sleep mode; I install £30 mobos at work all day, and it's frustrating to see these just work as expected, whilst I've dropped more that Putin did on the Sochi Games, and everything is piss poor quality!

What RAM are you running on the board...one single kit?

To flash older BIOS you have to do it BIOS Flashback method...http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/

Well I couldn't get the flashback button to work, but I managed to copy over the original BIOS 42XX somthing, using the Flashback BIOS submenu.

Sleep is still flakey as hell, occasionally it does, most of the time nothing but the screen does. For testing I have screen and system set to 1 min, and just screen is going off. When the system does switch off (1in20) it's 5-10mins after the screen, even though both are 1min!? OS is Win8x64 Pro btw.

It is simply unacceptable that a basic function such as this, is a no-go with a board like this!

...memory is a single G.Skill 4x4GB kit btw

Maybe try this:

DISKPART:

Open a command prompt window as Administrator and use diskpart to format your pendrive.
Best use a small USB 2.0 pendrive.

Type... and press enter after every line of course

diskpart
listdisk
select diskn (where n is the number of the pendrive)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

Then place renamed BIOS file on pendrive and place in ROG connect port and press button for 3 seconds until lights flash...

Most often these problems are OS settings or RAM...

Sleep issues are most often because of memory instability...

That's why Arne was asking about your memories... - run memtest86+ to check their stability... if they pass at least 4 cycles (it may take time, just let it overnight), then something else is wrong...

Also, pay attention to the virtual memory setup... if you have SSD, also check the free space it has on it...

On my part, I never use the sleep or hibernate function though... my systems knows only two modes: ON and OFF...
