I recently upgraded my system from an MSI Intel Motherboard to an AMD Ryzen Mobo.
My new system (details in my signature below) will start from a full shut down without any problems.
My system will restart from being “fully awake” without any problems.
My system will enter Sleep (S3) when I select and click on “Sleep” from the Windows Power options.
After entering Sleep after a system Start, or restart, when I press the start button on my system case, the Hard Disk LED flashes briefly and then remains on steady. System fans start running. My monitor screen remains black. Nothing further happens. I then have to shut down by pressing and holding down the system start button; and then cold start/reboot again.
The System then boots normally but on each occasion, Windows creates a 4GB Memory dump.
The inability to wake from sleep happens if I set BIOS to “Wake from BIOS” and also if a set BIOS to “Wake from OS”.
I have enabled Wake timers so as to permit Acronis True Image to Wake my system in order to perform weekly backups. However, although the system starts to wake up, it freezes as described above. (This was not an issue with my Intel Mobo).
Setting Windows Power settings to permit Sleep, or Hibernate, or Hybrid Sleep makes no difference. If I enter the S3 state, I can only use my system if I do a cold startup/boot.
I put this matter to MSI Support, and although they were extremely helpful over several weeks, they have been unable to duplicate the problem using an identical setup in their labs.
Perhaps this is a Windows issue?
Any advice would be appreciated.
