Hello! I've been fighting with this problem for about 3 weeks now. I've tried pretty much every solution I could find online and have been unable to make progress, so now I've admitted defeat and am begging for any help anyone can offer. Here's what's going on:
CSS:
New homebuilt computer is having trouble waking from longer sleeps. Short sleeps are fine, but after a certain (seemingly random) length of time, the computer has a kind of sleepy crash. The flashing sleep LED stops flashing, the keyboard won't respond, and the only recourse is to hard reset the computer.
Sometimes, I get lucky and the blinking light still blinks. I press a button to wake up the computer, and it wakes up into a BSOD (again, this is only for longer sleeps - short sleeps are ok). It's usually a different BSOD every time (argh!). I have three minidump files I can append to the bottom of this question.
The really aggravating thing about troubleshooting this is that I have to wait >2-3 hours for the problem to appear, so I can only try a few fixes per day. Speaking of fixes...
Components:
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming AM3+
CPU: AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100366-2L Radeon R7 260X 2GB
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Model BLS8G3D1609DS1S00
PSU: ENERMAX REVOLUTION X't ERX430AWT
SSD: SanDisk Ultra Plus SDSSDHP-256G-G25 (Boot drive)
HDD: WD BLACK SERIES WD2003FZEX
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Attempted Fixes:
1. Tried changing BIOS sleep settings from S3 to S1. No change. Reverted back to S3.
2. Tried very slightly increasing RAM and CPU voltage (MB auto settings were a bit below what was on the specs). No change. Reverted back to MB auto settings.
3. Tried EVERYTHING in power options - turning off hibernate, turning off hybrid sleep, turning off selective suspend, disabling PCI link, setting turn off Hard Disk to "never..." No change. Kept settings as listed here.
4. Turned off wake on PCI and Network in BIOS. No change. Left off.
5. Tried to only allow wake on OS (rather than BIOS). Computer wouldn't wake up at all, ever. Reverted back to BIOS.
6. Disabled computer wake on network in network settings. No change.
7. Re-flashed MB BIOS. No change.
8. Unseated and re-seated all PSU connections. Changed SSD connection to different plug on different string. No change.
9. Ram Memtest86. No problems found. Changed RAM slot anyway. No change.
10. Reformatted SSD and reinstalled Windows. Did not test before installing drivers, but after Windows Updates and drivers were installed... no change.
11. Cried a little bit. Felt better for a while. No change.
So I have some theories:
I'm wanting to point my finger either at the SSD (because a lot of people are talking about SSD problems in forums about sleep), but I don't know how. It seems to be working perfectly otherwise.
I also want to point my finger at the Motherboard network adapter. It's a Killer e2200 integrated into the Motherboard and some of my errors point at that as the cause. I've tried updating the drivers, installing the software, uninstalling the software, etc. Nothing's making progress, but I did just follow MSI's directions for what to do if you get BSOD because of the e2200. I'll update if that makes a difference, but I don't have much hope.
Any suggestions? Any information at all I can provide to you? Please let me know and I'll get it to you right away!
Most recent minidump follows. There others too if you want them! Thank you so, so much!
