Recently encounter this problem, when I leave my PC overnight and it goes into screensaver then after monitor turns off. I would move the mouse to resume, it does nothing, still blank and not responding to the mouse moves or keyboard pressed. Power Management is on Performance, so sleep is off.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated...

last time happened..was a bad motherboard, the wake caused the board to fail.. true story!

happened to 2 of the 24 batches we bought.

Set things such as 'turn off hard disks' to 'NEVER' once you set all that you don't want to come off to 'NEVER' it should work pretty fine

you does come across some weird sheit dread.........lol

[Chiney]

^^ i work around over 500 computers a day.... i see some sh!t yo

[mickey17]

^^^^^ LOL!!! whish i could work around that many i have 1 to work with...ahahahaha!

[nismo007]

Okay,I've set harddrive to never turn off and that seems to have solved the problem thanks napster. Frightened me there boy Chiney, cause its a new mobo too.

[Elyon]

^^
sometimes new motherboards ship faulty, but its good that its all sorted out nothing sucks more than having a brand new part go bad. I had a brand new 560 ti go bad on me a while back.

okay, now I need a little advice/help.
Basically the problem is this, recently decided to go with lga 2011, and the motherboard i'm using is the asus rampage iv formula, and the cooler is the corsair h100.

The problem is this, to install the h100 i have to remove the backplate which includes removing the bracket which holds the cpu in place, once the bracket is removed the backplate comes off, but the screws to screw back the cpu bracket is on the stock backplate, so I can't put back the backplate.

Now i was researching online and saw others who installed their cpu bracket with the h100 installed, i've went through chiney's pics and he installed back the cpu bracket over his cpu cooler, and i suspect he had to replace the backplate also. So my question is a bit two fold, is the cpu bracket necessary? I've never done a build without a cpu bracket. and the next one is directed at chiney, I saw in your pics you put back your cpu bracket, how did you do that after removing the backplate?

Happen to me already was a bad board .

No scn...

[Chiney]

^^ that is good.. the harddrive solution is actually one i heard of but never encountered it..

good times.. never to experienced to learn something

Asus' new design in their rampage 4 extreme board is called x socket.

http://event.asus.com/2011/rog/X-Socket/

[Chiney]

wait
i just read ur board has x socket

i suggest u google it

[Elyon]

^^
yeah the rampage iv formula has the same x-socket also, I've been going through the google results and while I don't need the cpu bracket, i'd still like to have it installed also saw someone use the same setup as mine with the h100 over the rampage iv formula with the cpu bracket installed, but on the video they skipped the part where he installed the h100 (go figure)

looking at the pics of your system, (stop me if I'm wrong) you removed the cpu bracket and then backplate came off, you installed the xspc backplate and then reattached the cpu bracket, what i want to know is how you did this? because judging from your pics your screws for the cpu bracket is also on the stock backplate.....

(i feel like I'm talking gibberish?)

[Chiney]

lolz
no ur not

the part i skipped in my build log seems to be the part u need the most.

the backplate for my block is actually bracing on the bracket for the cpu brace itself.

basically..if i took off the cpu block..the bracket would fall off.. it is not flush unto the board.

go figure?

Okay people, the problem seems to persist... Still no response after moving the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard to wake up the monitor, even though I hit the Num Lock key, it still appears blank. Just hoping its not a bad motherboard.

Any other advice before I consider buying another motherboard that can solve this problem?

Is updating the BIOS any good?

[Chiney]

^^ try it..its something on the check off list.

[fouljuice]

update graphics drivers,
check the bios settings too if there is any settings for power management.
What motherboard is it?

might be too much, but if you have a spare hard drive you could connect it up and install windows and see if the problem still exists.

[nismo007]

Its the Asus crosshair v formula.
