Just e-mailed Jacob. Having the issue with my EVGA X58 SLI LE and Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti. Got nowhere on this with Gigabyte; they're fully convinced the issue must lie with my system memory (way to be, guys).

Don't hold your breath Mr. DOS. I email Jacob a week ago and never received a response. I've hit the S3 Resume bug while running an EVGA X58 FTW3 on a (stock) i7 920 with a (stock) EVGA GeForce GTX 680. I upgraded from an EVGA 580 Classy which had 2x more memory than the stock 680, so I know this Mobo ROM memory addressing rumor is straight BS. I don't understand why EVGA is being so evasive... -TS

I have the disappearing memory issue also... with sleep, no problem dealing with it. Everytime I do a cold start up, only 4gigs out of 6 are visable, then I have to shut down, kill powersupply for 10 seconds to clear power from motherboard, THEN power up again. So...some of us desperately NEED sleep back to fully functioning like it was BEFORE we spent hard earned cash on the 600 series. Haveing the memory issue not be resolvable I could live with, now, I'm frustrated as can be. I'm not "ugrading" my core system because the manufacturers can't make their hardware work. The reason I'm sticking with x58 isn't financial, it's because the few quarks it has I can't fix at the moment are trivial to how powerful it is for SLI and surround gaming.

Baltothewolf I know a great solution, stop using sleep. Problem solved! I don't understand why so many people insist on using Sleep, or why they think it's EVGA's problem. Sleep mode has been problematic tech since it's inception. I've seen waking from sleep problems on almost every single board and manufacturer, not specific to any certain series. Not to mention, Sleep mode was designed primarily for laptops, where it does seem to be a bit more reliable but still has problems in my experience. If you have issues with Sleep mode, simple solution - turn it off. Sleep works perfectly fine in my P67/670 setup, but guess what, I turn it off because it's useless. If saving power is so important to you, then turn your PC off when you go away. With SSDs which most people have these days, the system boots in seconds anyway. Or just turn your monitors off. I don't see why people are so upset about this, it's certainly not EVGA/Nvidia's fault.

Beacuse it is not an EVGA problem. It is a sleep problem. Sleep is unreliable. It always has been and likely always will be. As much as I dislike the tablet-centric GUI, I must admit that Android did sleep right; turn off the display and underclock the CPU to less than 50 MHz. Sleep on the PC is still rubbish.

I don't understand those of you who are saying it is not EVGA / Nvidia's problem. Are you so about your GTX 600 series cards that you can't see there is an actual problem? My system has been the same since my GTX 580, and with that card sleep works perfectly. When I tried to put in a GTX 670 sleep no longer worked. The GTX 670 was the ONLY component that changed. How is this not an incompatibility issue with the component? Even if sleep has been problematic in the past, it worked for most of us posting here prior upgrading to a 600 card. Also to those of you saying "don't use sleep" Har de har har. You may not care about sleep mode and that is perfectly fine, but there are people in here who use the feature every day. Its easier then manually turning the PC off after each use, and quicker then cold booting even from an SSD. This convenience has become important to me and I refuse to "upgrade" components only to lose features. There are a few of us working hard to make this issue well known and your negative responses do not help. If the issue were to get fixed it would not affect you in any way, yet would help many others. Please do not post your "helpful" comments here. While I hope an EVGA does look into this, based on the lack of response (aside of how active they were in the spring) I am not holding my breath. I would love to re-buy a GTX 600 card (I returned my 670) but at the same time my GTX 580 Classified is still working well with today's games and I have heard the newest radeon cards do not have this issue. And now back to some more "don't use sleep" posts... sigh

I have a similar issue, but I am not sure if you guys problem is intermittent. Mine has intermittent problems with resuming from sleep. It may work for 24-48 hours without issue then have the same issue - blank screen - nothing ever came up, no keyboard/mouse response, fans on, power light on, and asus qcode - E1 - (S3 boot script execution). There is no blue screen or bug check in the event log, only event 41 - which indicates unexpected shutdown. Another possibly related issue is that on some shutdowns, it seems to not shutdown properly. Upon the next restart there is no indication of any error until looking into the event log which shows the event 41. I have done plenty of research and there seems a few possibilities for my problem. 1. There were some reported issues with the Corsair AX series PSU and some Asus motherboards 2. This EVGA GTX graphics issue 3. Windows 8 issue - hybrid shutdown/sleep - but seems very unlikely as I disabled that and the issue still occurred. Specs: Windows 8 x64 ASUS P8Z77-V deluxe i7 3770K 16GB RAM EVGA GTX660 Corsair AX650 PSU And to those asking why I need sleep, I prefer not to leave my pc on all the time. I use it for media center recordings and want it to wake up for the recording and sleep after. It was working perfectly with my old setup.

I sent an email and they had me run a diagnostic program. Didn't hear back though. Sleep might be problematic but the bottom line is I never had any problems with any other cards on this system (or any other windows 7 system for that matter). I'd accept any response from evga even if it was just to say that windows was never meant to enter sleep with this type of hardware and that there is no way to use it reliably. Whatever. A response would be nice.

And now back to some more "don't use sleep" posts... sigh That's funny, because I had problems with Sleep mode not working dating back to the 7000 series GPUs and various motherboards, possibly longer than that if I could recall. Had problems with my 460 waking from sleep. Had problems waking from Sleep in 500 different configurations ( I build systems for a living). Got a 670 and never had a problem waking from Sleep. Then again, I only tried it a couple times before I turned it off. The fact that it worked on your 580 and doesn't work on your 670 doesn't necessarily mean it's 100% the video card. Sleep being reliable (hint: it has never been reliable) depends on 100 different variables (Mobo, OS, RAM, Settings, Firmware, etc). The fact that sleep worked fine on my 600 series card seems to negate your statement. The plain fact is that Sleep is just plain unreliable regardless of the configuration and has been for as long as it has existed. Please note the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_mode Particularly: Reliability
When sleep mode was first introduced it was usually not tested as thoroughly as the normal mode, causing various problems especially with peripherals such as computer mice. Partly for these reasons, in a working environment sleep mode was generally avoided because the costs associated with wasted time and materials far outweighed the savings in energy from sleep mode. Not only when it was first introduced, but to this very day. It still causes problems. You guys can yell at EVGA until you are blue in the face, it's not going to change the fact that Sleep mode in general is just finicky, unreliable technology. When it works, it works. When it doesn't (most of the time), good luck. I'm only saying not to use it because well...... if you are having so much headache from it, and everything else works fine EXCEPT for sleep mode.... just trying to save you some headaches brah. Just based on my personal experiences with Sleep mode NOT WORKING PROPERLY 90% OF THE TIME. Don't shoot the messenger. But I mean if you still insist on using Sleep, (Which was designed for LAPTOPS) by all means... have at it, I won't complain. My system works fine. Just trying to help.

I understand fully that many of you have had other problems with sleep in the past. My experiences have been different as I have NEVER had one of my systems (even overclocked ones) have any issues with sleep and over the years I have gotten used to using it. I also understand that for many of you the GTX 660 Ti+ cards sleep with no issues. You are right that my it could be many other factors besides just the video card but one thing common with those having issues in this thread is the x58 motherboard. People without x58 seem to be having no issues while many of those still using that socket like myself are the ones having sleep problems. With that it would seem that there is some incompatibility between x58 and the 660 Ti+ cards. Either way I have realized that EVGA is most likely not going to correct this issue, but just in case I was simply asking that those in here who do not care about sleep mode do not rain on the parade of those who do. I personally have gone back to my GTX 580 classified and could not be happier. If sleep mode is still a problem with x58 and newer Nvidia cards going forward I will either upgrade my board or get a Radeon as games get more demanding.

I've also experienced this issue since the installation of my 660 Ti.

Its easier then manually turning the PC off after each use, and quicker then cold booting even from an SSD. It is also a good way to conserve power when you're going to be away from your desk for a short period of time, but don't want to throw away your system state. nyknicks82. This EVGA GTX graphics issue I'm not sure if this is related or not because we're having different problems, but I'm having the S3 sleep issue with a Gigabyte – not EVGA – 660 Ti in an EVGA motherboard. Oh, and no surprise, but I haven't heard anything back from Jacob.

Re:GTX 680 - problems resuming from S3 sleep

My problems with sleep began with Windows 7 SP1. Before the update I was able to come out of sleep with no problem. After the update, I could not resume. I uninstalled SP1 and I could come out of sleep again. I am not the only one who has had this problem. So, some of this issue may have nothing to do with EVGA or Nvidia or it may be interelated. It is a complex problem that we want a quick simple fix for and it is not going to happen. Get over it.

randolla My problems with sleep began with Windows 7 SP1. Before the update I was able to come out of sleep with nbo prblem. After the update, I could not resume.

It is a complex problem that we want a quick simple fix for and it is not going to happen. Get over it. Your SP1 issue is different. I had the same thing happen after SP1 but there are MANY forum posts online that provide working solutions for that. The GTX 660 Ti GTX670 & GTX 680 issue is different as with the 580 my system comes in / out of sleep fine with Win 7 SP1. Only when I put in the 670 (that I returned) did it not sleep.

That may be true but I tried for weeks to find a solution to my problem with no results. Now the same problem arises with the 600 series cards. All I am saying is that it seems to be a complicated issue that eveyone wants a simple, quick solution to. Now that I have two 680s I am not even bothering to try to fix it. My SSD boots pretty quick.

TO ANYONE IN HERE WONDERING ABOUT THE GTX 660 non -Ti: EVGA never got back to me about the 660 when I asked, so I went to best buy today and picked up a regular GTX 660 to try since it does not use the same GPU as the 660-Ti & up. I would like to report that sleep also does NOT work on that card either and the card will be going back tomorrow. It experiences the same exact issue as it's brothers do. Figured I would let anyone who cared in here know, just in case they were thinking of getting one and hoping to avoid the 600 & x58 sleep problem.

I noticed that most people have the problem with the x58. I have a z77 and have a similar problem as I mentioned above. Anybody else have this issue with the z77 (mine is Asus p8z77-v deluxe) and a GTX 660 non-TI?

I'm still awaiting a response from EVGA on this issue. I still find it hilarious that because some users aren't able to get a feature to work that "it's a useless feature." S3 Sleep has worked for me since the Win7 Beta days; the only problems I've ever had with it were all HW defect related (on a previous X58 mobo). This is an EVGA problem, the single solitary thing that changed in my system was an upgrade from an EVGA 500 series to a 680 gfx card on an X58 mobo. Much love to all the Sleep haters out there; it stinks that you couldn't figure out how to get such a simple feature working on your box. But just because you gave up doesn't mean the rest of us have to. I'll keep bumping this thread until such a time as I can either afford to purchase a new $500 gfx card, or the defect is resolved by NVIDIA or EVGA.
