M9750 wont wake up from sleep in SLI

Hey, I went through the SLI install guide and installed the v174.16 drivers. I used driver sweeper, tried reinstalling them... etc, and when I first install them, sleep mode works fine, but after I enable SLI mode, put the computer in sleep mode, and then try and take it out of sleep again, the screen turns a light shade of blue, and I am forced to do a hard reboot.

My specs are as follows:

SLI go 7950 cards
2.16 ghz C2D processor
Windows Vista Home Premium
1920x1200 screen
320gig HDD

Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

That is a problem with using "custom" drivers for the M9750. It seems when you use any other drivers except the stock drivers you have problems waking up from sleep mode. I would call mine a light shade of gray, but you get the point.

Try hitting enter around 10 seconds after you get the light blue screen and see if that works, it does for me.

 

Bummer. So there is no fix for it? I might have to give the stock alienware drivers a shot then... are they really that bad?

EDIT: Well, hitting enter seems to do the trick so I guess it's not the end of the world. Thanks stone.

 

@gooms9 - There is no good fix for it. I would stay away from the stock drivers though. If you can deal with it just do it.

Also: If you know that you aren't going to be playing games that much just disable SLi and the problems will go away.

 

I do not have that problem in SLI but I am using the 169.25 driver. Sounds like a driver issue to me.
