For one, it's NVIDIA's job to respond to customer requests for support. Even if it's to say that there is an incompatibility issue. I shouldn't even have to say that. Or go any further. But.. Two, I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3 with an i7-2600k. Same problem.

no, thats absolutely false, it is not nvidia's job to provide end user support beyond developing and fixing driver bugs. This is not a driver bug. its an incompatibility between a subvendors chosen bios and the videocard. Two, I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3 with an i7-2600k. Same problem. This issue is specifically reported to reproduce on EVGA x58 motherboards running a phoenix bios. It is not reproducible to a degree that would mark it consistent under any other configurations There are many people operating 680's on that Asus motherboard without S3 problems, Any that are would be advised to start looking at their specific hardware configurations. Any reports throughout this thread where another vendors mainboard has been mentioned (****, someone even reported having the "SAME" problem on a AMD platform, then proceeded to detail a completely DIFFERENT problem.)

So... they have several customer service, support, technical support, etc numbers as well as email addresses, forums and web forms because they don't intend to provide end user support "beyond developing and fixing driver bugs."? That's an ignorant statement. I'm sure you'll respond. But I'm done responding to you.

You can be done responding all you like. Fact is, your issue, is NOT the same as the issue the OP and most of the first 5 pages were reporting. So don't just jump into a thread claiming SAME PROBLEM when you likely only saw a single post in the thread having the same issue you are.

Can someone screenshot the cmd prompt after entering and executing powercfg -energy elevation probably required for this command Mr. DOS hjlane3One note of interest is that suspend works absolutely fine in Linux using the official NVIDIA drivers. It's only in Windows (7 and 8) that I have this issue. FWIW, I can confirm the issue does not occur under Linux (Ubuntu 12.10 with NVIDIA drivers; haven't tried the Nouveau driver). Someone also mentioned it was working under Win8 So its possibly a problem with the mobo bios where Windows 7 is used.... and it wouldn't be the first time a Bios update has been necessary to resolve S3 resume issues for a new cpu/memory/gpu, etc. I've found several posts online citing the lack of working ASPM on these boards as a reason for S3 resume issues in some cases. But no confirmation by MSFT at all.

I (usually) cannot resume from S3 sleep either with OCs enabled. Setting clocks to default before sleep fixes the problem (or avoids it).

I really don't care who the root problem lies with. I spent $600 on an EVGA product and have received ZERO support from them. I've been a long time customer, but won't be purchasing from EVGA again. I've also warned off the players in the various guilds/clans I'm a part of. Sadly, I've gotten better support from the company that manufactures my 459 paper shredder. The lack of response from EVGA is egregious.

If looks like the forum murdered the quality of the images...I'm not sure how else to get them up here seeing as it won't let me post the HTML file. Recommendations welcome.

Contact your laptop vendor for bios updates you don't have the same issue as you don't have the same system platform.

Hello All, I am a systems admin at a top software house in the UK so have dealt with a lot of PC issues. I have just swapped out my GTX 460 for a GTX 670 and am now experiencing the S3 resume issue which worked perfectly before the upgrade. The system is x58 sli3 and I7 950 @ 4GHZ with 12gb Gskill ripjaws 3x4 nothing apart from the graphics card and it`s drivers has changed. I want to use s3 mode because I have to pay for my electricity, and do not like to waste money. Has any one got any clues on how this should be fixed ? G... BTW I will put the 460 back in to see if the issue clears up and report back.

I am having the same issue with an i7 960 and a GTX660. BSODs when resuming from s3 sleep mode. This, however, does NOT happen with Linux (Mint 14). jgiorla Has anyone encountered problems resuming from S3 sleep? Since putting the GTX 680 in (and taking the 480s out) my computer doesn't come out of S3 sleep anymore. It wakes up, and immediately reboots itself. This is on a E759 motherboard and Core i7 920. Everything worked perfect with the 480s. I don't think it's the driver, because I had the 301.10 installed on the 480s with a modded inf and it worked fine. Any clues?

I am having the same problem as well. I bought a 670gtx graphics card and neither evga nor PNY customer support can provide a resolution. They even go as far as telling me to reinstall my whole OS and see if that fixes the problem. Simply, remarkable. You spend all of this money paying for their products and their customer support is pathetic. Steps noted in trying to resolve issue: •Defaulted all of my bios settings to default •Current Nvidia graphics card and 83 bios update •All current windows 7 updates applied •Disabled HD audio in bios •Installed EVGA precision tuner in an attempt to lower the video card voltage •Applied noted MS hotfixes for S3, none worked all were already applied •Removed previous Nvidia driver (470gtx) did a clean installation onto the new 670gtx driver Installed my old 470gtx which worked perfectly in an S3 sleep mode. This issue is caused by the video card and mobo combo and nobody wants to fix it.....

Just upgraded to an evga 680 ftw and now my system doesn't resume from s3 sleep. Pretty pissed that I dumped $570 on a card that makes my system operate improperly. Can anyone verify that 600 series cards work fine with the "other venders" X58 boards? I can't believe that in the coarse of a year this problem hasn't been addressed.

Update... Put 460 back in, changed nothing else same drivers same overclock s3 resume works perfectly. I presume that the video card is not recieving the the wake signal properly or the driver/pc is not sending the wake to the correct area or at all. Quality control seems to have gone out the window on this one, a shame as I used to think very highly of EVGA. A while ago I noticed that there were alternative Nvidia drivers here not sure if they are recent but may try it out. I will also put in a spare HD and re install OS then go through a set of drivers to see if that helps. I will of course post results here. G...

I haven't read much of this thread, so don't know if a problem with waking I saw with the 670 is the same as what this thread is about. If 'windows start up' is checked in precX, i get a black screen upon waking, otherwise sleep/wake cycles just fine, ASUS p7p55de-pro.

The issue appears to be consistent with 6XX cards and the 58x motherboard. The most frusterating thing about it, is that both companies do not want to address the issue and the consumer is left holding the bag. Each noted work around or fix has not resolved the issue. User have installed a vanilla windows 7 OS and that hasn't resolved the issue.

I really don't see the logic in owning a fast gaming computer and complaining about S3 sleep. You guys go and spend hundreds of dollars on SSD's so you can get a fast boot time, yet you use sleep. The logic of this completely baffles me.

I agree. To each his/her own, but personally, I have always found "sleep mode" to be a bit buggy or cause small quirks to the way things run after waking up. Nothing I could specifically talk about now as it's been several years since I decided to quit using sleep...

Yep everybody should indeed use thier systems as they see fit. Having a powerfull rig to play games is great, but don`t forget that the powerfull rigs use up more electricity, which here in the UK we get screwed for, so when I get distracted and forget to shut down the computer (I`m getting forget full in my old age) I want it to go to sleep. Besides, as a matter of principal when you buy a premium product I believe you should get a fully funtional one. Cheers. G....

Boot times are pretty long depending on how much add-on hardware you are using. Using sleep negates that. Why wait 60-90 seconds when S3 resume takes 3-5? Plus.... the power usage. I don't know about you, but I live in one of the most expensive power markets on the east coast, using sleep saves me money. So...... EVGA, how about a bios update for my X58 Classy3, firmware update for gtx680 or a driver that addresses the issue.

WOW! so I just purchased a gtx 660 and have this EXACT issue. Thank you Jerk EVGA. I find it amazing that a few trolls want to suggest that using S3 sleep is for wimpy losers. Why do I need it??? I have 7 computer monitors connected to two 660s. I launch my MANY applications and position them in the expected location. Typical setup time for my development environment is 10min. Press a button and having this all READY TO GO, is priceless =) So i'm either upgrading my system or choosing a different graphics card :(

It's been about month since I enquired about it and have yet to hear a response beyond, "We thought the issue had been addressed in previous drivers." Which tells me that they don't care because most people don't use s3 sleep. Therefore there's not enough backlash from consumers to warrant a fix. At this point I hope the issue is resolved for gtx700 series because I still have 56 days left on my step-up option.
