Does anybody have a very occasional sleep problem with this motherboard? Perhaps once a month or so when sleeping the screen turns off, the fans will stay on and eventually after a few minutes the system restarts, losing the current Windows session (even with hybrid sleep on).

I'm wondering if it is something to do with my 4.6Ghz overclock - has anyone else experienced this? It's the only thing wrong with this otherwise completely stable setup!

Not quite but sometimes if I leave my PC on all day I can return to it and it will be in a crashed state with a blank screen.

I get this every now and then, i just blamed it the OS but now I'm intrigued, or looking for an excuse to upgrade my mobo and cpu:D

Worth upgrading ? Thought about it myself but I don't see much change in the last 2 years with a 2600k still firing well

No which I why I haven't yet, just in the process of rebuilding with water to see if I can push my trusty 2500K to the 4.8 mark stable! It would just make sense while it's in bits:cool:

I will hold off tho!

anyone know which chipset drivers i need?

Here's a few to get you started and should remove all the ? marks from device manager after a fresh install.

Intel INF driver - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/De...rsion=Windows 8, 64-bit*&DownloadType=Drivers

Intel Management Engine driver - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23091

Intel rapid Storage Technology - 16.72MB - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/De...eng&OSVersion=Windows 8*&DownloadType=Drivers

If you get that error message with just a CPU and 1 stick of RAM in and your monitor connected to the mobo.

It sounds dead to me im afraid :(
