Waking from sleep lockup

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H with a 4GB stick of Kingston ram (khx16c9b1r/4) and a core i5-3570K. The computer's been acting weird for a while and at first I thought I had a bad video card, but I've since then tested by pulling the card and RAM and seeing the problem still happen. Sometimes it will bluescreen, but mostly it hangs returning from sleep. When it does that, it never gets to Windows; instead, the power comes back on, but the monitor's LED still indicates it's in standby mode, and the motherboard shows LED code 32 (CPU PXE Initialized.) I'm contacting Gigabyte's support but I'm wondering whether it's more likely a motherboard or CPU problem, or if it could be something else. I've got a Samsung 840 SSD (might be a Pro, I don't remember off the top of my head) and a WDC Black 1TB HDD also in the system, but I would think they're not likely to be the problem.

Actually, the manual is online. The code is 32, which is 'CPU PEI Initialization'. Looks like I had a typo above when I said PXE.

It's available at http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4139#manual but you do have to hunt a bit. I only know that because I went looking for it to try to debug the problem. :)

I contacted Gigabyte support. They had me run memtest86, which came back normal, and they said I'd have to RMA the mobo.
