In Jan 2011 I upgraded to a SB i2600K PC Asus P8P67Dlx. It was clear from the beginning that this system would overclock easily up to 5.0ghz.I finally settled on 4.6-4.8 for better performance/voltage/heat ratio. FSX would finally run smoothly.However there were some problems with the board. Intel flaws (well advertised) and various other UEFI bugs (keyboard-mouse recognition, memory problems, sleep etc..). So the B3 board finally arrived, re-installed but apart from the Intel sata3 bug correction, all of the over bugs were still present. A new BIOS fm Asus cleared up the keyboard problem for me. I had no memory problems but still had "sleep" problem. Finally decided to return the B3 P8P67 Dlx and bought the P8z68v-PRO, re-installed, connected the hd & ssd. Win7 did its updates and finally everything is fine:I am running at 4.6ghz at around 1.36v, memory is at 1866, FSX is running smoothly (as before). Sleep mode is working fine. Original BIOS was 221 and upgraded to 401. No change, everything a OK.note: I tried the Intel RST 10.5 and they killed the sleep mode. I have now since returned to MS original drivers and everything is back to normal.It is possible (just possible...) that had I tried to revert back to the MS original drivers for the IDE ATA Atapi controllers that the P8P67Dlx would have resumed correctly from sleep.Pierre

I have the B3 P8P67 Deluxe MB and have never had this "sleep problem" as many others have discussed in this forum. That is truly strange. I am using the MS original drivers for my HD's (controller is Marvell though). I saw where Microsoft just issued an update for a hibernation and memory dump problem with Windows 7 SP1 - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2541014 and perhaps that was the problem you were getting. I had the memory dump problem whereby my system got the BSODs but a memory dump could not be completed for some reason, so had some issues finding out the exact reason(s) for my crashes (turned out to be bad memory configuration in the BIOS). I can't wait until I get my next BSOD to see if the memory dump problem is fixed! LOL.Best regards,Jim

Sleep mode has never, and likely will never function perfectly as intended. I recommend simply turning your PC off instead.

Same here.
