G751JY Win 10 resume from sleep issue

Test:
0. BIOS 208 http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=G751JY&p=3&s=719
1. leave some windows open on your desktop (e.g. notepad)
2. be sure the Allow hybrid sleep is set to OFF http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/p.../c03392536.jpg
3. from Start menu select Sleep


Unexpected:
The system on resume (e.g. on mouse move, or press any key...) will perform a cold reboot, won't resume. Windows 10 Reliability monitor will log an unexpected system shutdown error.

Others can confirm?

 

What kind of install is it (upgrade or clean) and what drivers are you running?

 

Every driver, Windows Update etc. are up-to-date. I'd like to hear something from other rare G751JY users...
Also Driver Booster 2 reports everything is up-to-date.

 

It's a model we sell and have in stock, but I wish you the best of luck regardless.

I would advise against relying on 3rd party driver applications though.

 

Solved. Re-flashed the same (= theoretically identical, binary-comparison tested with the one already on) BIOS 208 forcing a WinFlash /nodate as suggested by other users experiencing the same strange issue, and it worked. Don't ask me why, logic fails here considering I already tried to restore "Default BIOS settings" from within the BIOS and never touched critical areas...

About 3rd party driver tools I agree and have always been very skeptical (I don't even use potentially harmful useless registry cleaners like CCleaner, go figure...), but if I have to suggest one it will be Driver Booster 2 (selecting only WHQL drivers).
