    Hi Guys,
    My PC (Asus Z96J) cannot stand by. I can't remember if it did once, but since a while it just cannot revive from standing by: It seems the HD is running, but the screen is black. So the only solution is holding the power button until it turns off.
    I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with software, because I have formated several times, and it is always the same,
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

    I've had the same issue. It turns out mine is caused by using any recent nVidia drivers from LaptopVideo2Go. Try using your stock graphics driver, and see if that works. It's annoying, I know. :eek: ;)
