I wanted to program a button on my keyboard to put the computer to sleep. Worked fine in Vista but the same command puts the computer into hibernate instead. According to sevenforum, you have to disable hibernate. So I do, but then the computer wouldn't resume from s3 sleep.
Instead, it turns on for a half second and immediately shuts off. After 5 seconds this cycle of frustration repeats forever. I took everything out of the board and still no change. PSU appears to work, changed PSU, same result. I reset the cmos jumper and it worked fine. After it happened again I reset cmos jumper, I realized it wasn't a fluke. I enable hibernate and it hasn't crashed since. But I don't want to hibernate, I want S3 sleep.
I'm pretty sure it's not a bad PSU but I think it might be related to something with the PSU and power. Otherwise it's a motherboard or windows 7 problem. Motherboard is set to s3 sleep mode. What command can I assign to the shortcut to make it go to sleep and not hibernate?
Here are the specs
gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3
i5-2500k
ocz 750w zs PSU
gtx460 (tried with and without it)
WD caviar black HD
windows 7 pro sp1
