Hello,

I have an asrock Z77 pro4-m
http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/z77%20pro4-m/

I have updated all the drivers but have not updated the BIOS as yet.

The issue I am having when I put my HTPC into sleep mode my USB 3 HDD and esata HDD will not be there when I wake it up and I have to restart it.

Has anyone else had this issue and could anyone help me to fix it?

I am running Win 7 Ultimate.

If you require further info let me know

Thanks!
Cam.

Windows might be shutting them down to "save power."
go to device manager -> whatever device is not working/on -> properties -> uncheck "Shutdown this device to save power"(something like that)
put your pc to sleep and wake it back up to see if that is what the problem is.
