Computer Becomes Unresponsive When It Sleeps (Occasionally)
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing ok, I'm trying to find the root of the problem I am currently experiencing, my computer seems to run ok whilst I am using it but if the computer goes to sleep it becomes unresponsive to the point where I have to hard reset the computer for it to be recognised by the monitor, when I do this the computer becomes really slow for a few minutes before it goes back to normal, any solutions? Thanks in advance

Never use power saver or sleep mode options. They never work right.
Either leave the PC on and lock it with WINKEY+L when walking away.
Or turn it off.

Should I disable the timer for sleep to activate? Will there be any side effects? Thanks for the response

completely disable sleep and hibernate

set all timers to 0 (never)
powercfg -h off

I've just set them to zero so thanks for the confirmation, I didn't know they were an issue

Usually they aren't issues. Many PCs will do various things to save on energy after a set amount of idle time, such as spinning down a hard drive after a certain time period of no activity, turning a display off after a while, and even entering sleep.

Windows 10 (or 8/8.1) have introduced changed behavior to the traditional shutdown, where the kernel (but not your entire session) is hibernated instead of a full shutdown and fresh restart occurring (and disabling the full hibernate feature will change this as a side effect), but that aside this is all standard stuff that usually works fine.

As for the slow performance, it may bit normal for a PC to be a bit slow at startup, as it's still loading things. If it's really slow for a few minutes, you probably have a heavy something(s) demanding starting up with Windows.

Never is quite the absolute statement. If they never worked right, they likely wouldn't remain existing as options. I would imagine it works fine far, far, far more often than it doesn't.

It's easy to want to instruct others to do as we do when our own way of doings these might be really convenient and problem free for us, but if someone is seeking insight as the root of an issue, then telling them to forgo what causes it isn't an actual answer. That being said, I don't know if OP is seeking an answer so they can solve it and have proper sleep operation, or if they never instruct the PC to sleep and the automatic timer in the power options putting into sleep during idle was leading to a circumstance where the issue arose, and they just want to avoid the issue whether it means avoiding sleep or not.

Thanks for the insight, i really appreciate it, I was looking for a solution that prevents the issue that I mentioned and I'm hoping turning off sleep/hibernate will help with my computer being weird, fingers crossed it fixes it, that being said, this issue has been appearing since I've gotten the 6700XT, I don't think it happened before and I have had no issues with it when it comes to anything else

It's rather pointless to enable sleep or low power modes on a hefty work or gaming PC. All it does it create a hinder for you as the user.

Also it's not just sleep and hibernate you want to disable, but also power saving mode for your usb hubs in device manager. This is what causes game controllers to have various issues. But that's not the only reason.

Thanks for the extra information, I do use controllers as well so I will look into disabling power saving for the USB hubs in device manager too, thanks :)

In that case, if you don't desire a well functioning sleep feature, then just avoiding it should be good since it is what is causing it. Disabling the PC from entering sleep mode after a given time of no activity should do it, since that's the only way the PC will enter sleep mode without you explicitly choosing for it to do so.

And video drivers with good support for sleep have always been necessary for it to work well, so if it occurred after you got the AMD GPU, I'd presume it's the video drivers not playing well with it.

Sure, you can do those things if they have issues. My point was more that "never" is a strong and absolute word because for many people, it works fine, and for others they find the tradeoffs of using them worth it.

When I use sleep mode (I do have it disabled from entering sleep mode after a given time though), it is because I am instructing it to enter sleep mode and thus it isn't going to hinder me but more the opposite. It works well as an in-between state compared of shutting down and leaving the PC on, with most of the advantages of both. If I have a lot of applications open and want to preserve it as it is, or if I simply want a faster resume from "off" state to "on" state next time, sleep works well for me.

And some other things may be a hindrance, but it's all about trade offs. I don't need 3 (used to be more) hard drives spinning nonstop. Two of them are storage drives and the other is only for games (and not even all games as my OS drive/SSD has some). So yeah, when I first go to play one of the games on the game drive, or access my files on storage, I may have to wait for the drive to spin up, but that tradeoff is worth not having then running all that time I don't need them to.

what's the rest of your setup? mainly drive/storage situation?

Couple technical questions also. Does your computer ONLY become slow after you hard power it off? so for example if it WAS NOT in sleep mode and you powered it off like that would it still be slow? if yes than obviously it's not because of sleep.

I'm guessing you've tried powering off/back on the monitor?

Latest bios update for that board fixes a CPU Vcore and power behaviour error and includes a gpu enhancement. Latest chipset also offers more compatibility with Win 2004.

Most times, both the motherboard BIOS and Windows has a sleep or hibernate, which can conflict with each other.

I would suggest booting into your BIOS and checking there if there's a sleep mode option to disable or "Airplane mode" available. You want to disable one, if allowing the other (Windows hibernation or visa versa).

Both hitting the sleep mode at the same time commonly ends up with your issue. Otherwise it's a corrupted hibernation file.

Under an admin commend prompt or the power shell...

Disable Windows Hibernation:
powercfg -h off

Then re-enable if desired:
powercfg -h on

That would remove and then recreate the hibernation file, make sure there's plenty of hard drive space as it uses quite a bit.

The BIOS doesn't really have a sleep mode itself. The BIOS options usually simply give access to which states the PC can use, such as the various suspend levels, and other CPU power saving options (like Intel's "Enhanced SpeedStep" or AMD's "Cool'n'Quiet"). While sleep does take advantage of the former, where available, it's not like the BIOS itself actually has a sleep function that is conflicting with Windows sleeping. The BIOS simply sets which states are available, and when Windows goes to sleep, it will try to use the deepest one available as far as I know.

S0 is an on and working state, S1 through S4 are different levels of sleep (S1 or S3 especially are what most know as "sleep" whereas S4 is "hibernate") and S5 is fully off.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/system-sleeping-states

This also shouldn't be confused with CPU C-states, which the CPU can enter when the PC itself isn't even sleeping. This is what things like SpeedStep and Cool'n'Quiet pertain to.

I'm not too worried about the sleep mode so I have just disabled it, if it's a driver problem it might get fixed in the future :)
