MSI P55-GD65 Restarts instead of wakes from sleep

[thetuna]

Hi.

I recently overclocked my i5-760 on a MSI P55-GD65 from 2.8 to 4 GHz and am running Windows 7.

However, now when I put the computer to sleep(S3), when I wake it up(from keyboard, etc) it restarts instead waking; where before the oc it worked.

I tried using S1 and it wakes properly, but S1 keeps the fans on and the computer still uses >100W, not much better than idle.

Has anyone else had problems with this, or this even the right place to post this question?

Maybe your PSU is weak?

This seems to be a recurring problem with certain motherboards. Mobos aren't my specialty, but you can start with the basics: grab the latest BIOS and see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for the reply and the move.

I do have the latest BIOS version.

Could this be from turning off certain power-saving features to OC?
