Maximus VII Hero, sleep issues

Hi,

I got my new Maximus VII Hero Motherboard about a month ago. But I'm having some issues when I let my system idle... it won't go back or wake up. Motherboard still has that 'A0' though, so starting to feel bad at forcing shutdown every time this happens.

It happens sometimes when I leave my PC on overnight to download a large file (mostly game patches/client) and/or Encode video files using MeGUI.

I'm running Windows 8.1 and have already set power options to Performance with Sleep set to Never. Also, I did not touch any setting in BIOS except my cousin setting something to XMP, everything else are default.

Is there another setting I need to change? or is it probably MeGUI's fault? Please help.

thanks,

Hello richmund12 and welcome

Try disabling hybrid boot in windows.

EDIT: Also disable hibernate.
