Monitor fails resume-please help

yorobbie · Jul 7, 2009, 01:52 AM

Greetings,
So I built my new PC a couple months ago, see signature, and have failed to figure out my problem. Plus I've had no real luck searching online for answers.

First, maybe unrelated, when I first power on my system there is a almost 15 second delay before the GFX spins up and the bios first appears.

The primary problem is if I let the system fall into sleep or hibernation, when I wake it the monitor never comes back on. And the GFX never spins up either, if it did I'm sure the monitor would come back on.

I have a slight overclock of 3.2 on the i7, and the OCZ is running at the 1600 XMP profile w/ the multiplier reduced to 10.

Any guidance or help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You forgot to mention your operating system.

Anyway, it is irrelevant. Windows are infamous for having a hit or miss relationship with sleep/hibernation. I wouldn't be too worried about this unless you need to use that often.

Check your BIOS and see if you have a setting for primary Video adapter...... make sure that is set properly.

The OS is listed in the Sig. The card is in the slot closest to the processor, and the BIOS is set to PCI-E x16 #1. I have been dealing without this function, but I kinda started liking a good sleep when I started using VISTA 32bit on my last system. So if I could get it back I would be happier.

Save your overclocked profile and try the bios defaults - see if any change...

What bios version are you using?

BIOS F7, tried defaults, same result. BTW, behavior is the same in W7.
