I have a question regarding waking from sleep mode. I'm trying to determine if this is "normal operation" for this board, or if something is not working right. I'm leaning towards something being a bit off, since I've used sleep mode on many different systems and it didn't behave like this.
My system is a DZ77GA-70k, 3770 processor, NVidia 660ti video, Windows 8 Pro. The system will go into sleep mode properly, and it WILL wake up, but it's different than any other I've seen. Instead of just simply waking up, it goes to the BIOS screen, fans spin for about .5 seconds, shuts off, spins up, shuts off, then boots back into Windows where I left off.
That ... just doesn't seem right. Previously when I woke my systems from sleep, it bypassed the BIOS screen entirely and the Windows desktop would appear in about 3 seconds, done. This current method isn't much different than just powering it off and on again as far as time saving goes.
I've checked to see that I don't have hibernate enabled, or hybrid sleep, just to test it. I'm not using the Rapid Start option in the BIOS, just standard sleep mode. I'm not sure what is causing this to happen, but I'm certainly looking for any input.
Thanks!
