ASUS P8P67 Issues

Just finished a build using 2600K. Windows installed in seemingly good fashion. As I have installed other software I have ended up with a issue where often I can't wake it from sleep state without power button restart.

Any thoughts appreciated
 
You must provide us with more information about your build. Version of BIOS on your board. Revision of board. All drivers used. List all hardware used in build.

Also, GOOGLE is your friend. You should really do a search on your issue as yours is not a NEW issue.
 
I had the same issue with the same board. Two things to do:-

1. Make sure you do not configure USB devices to sleep.
Check your power settings; on mine they were set to sleep by default so KB or mouse could not wake things up.

2. Go to the BIOS and disable the PLL Overvoltage
Seems totally unrelated, but it worked for me and many others

The PLL overvoltage sleep problem affects all P67 boards. Its a chipset issue and intel hasn't fixed it yet. On my board (P67 sabertooth) it was on auto. As soon as I tried to overclock PLL overvoltage would enable and would not be able to wake from sleep.
 
I had done some research and have continued. I see comments about the overvoltage settings. Also comments about the video card driver and hard drive size. Over lunch I updated my video driver. It went to sleep and I was able to wake it up. Will keep testing that. Since I have an unlocked processor looks like I will eventually have to choose overclocking vs sleep capability. I see some who claim that they have got it to work without addressing the above most common issues. Thanks for your input. I see it is much more prevalent that I realized so will monitor various threads.

Not necessarily. You probably won't need to enable PLL Overvoltage until at least x47. I didn't need to enable it on my 2600K until I reached x48. Below that, I shut off PLL Overvoltage, and sleep works fine.
 
I seem to be gaining ground after updating the video driver and disabling the overvoltage. One thing I did is install an app called Core Temp to monitor the four physical core temps. They seemed to be running hot when I went into BIOS on start up as they were typically 67C. After installing this it showed the core temperatures to be at max, 98C. So shut it down to check that the fan was seated. Fan looks OK. Will need to get some new thermal paste before I reseat the fan.
 
Upgraded my BIOS to 1850. I did not anticipate the RAID issues and so when I started up I was in non RAID mode. Things booted and seemed to work well. No problems waking from sleep or some of the sluggishness, freezing type issues. I wanted to go back to RAID and so had to do a new install of Windows. Did that, updated drivers and got the system working with no issues.

I had a RAID array previous to the BIOS upgrade for a data disk. It needed to rebuild. Completed the rebuild using the Intel Rapid RAID application. As soon as the rebuild was done (it was reported as successful) the system started acting up. Couldn't get the Start menu to open (the wheel would just keep spinning), tried Ctl-Alt-Del to open task manager but the screen just went to black with the mouse wheel spinning as the only thing showing.

I updated my HD6850 driver to the latest driver before starting the rebuild.

Since this time I noted just what I had done right before the problems started (rebuilt the RAID array using the Rapid Raid Application) it obviously begs me to correlate the two.

Has anyone heard anything in this regard?

Thanks
