Thread: PC Turns on then off after standby

Everything is shutting off, both times. I had the Opus running off a standard PSU inside and once the standby didn't work at all, it went into standby mode, but didn't stay there. After that, everything worked properly. I wonder if the battery is an issue.

Hmm, a BIOS update may be needed.

I was going through the list of fixes in the previous updates and one of them said something along the lines of S3 stability being fixed. I applied the update and it seems to be working so far, but I'm not 100% sure just yet because I ran into another problem with a frayed wire powering the HDD which was crapping out on me. I fixed that but didn't have time to test it so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Standby seemed to work the way it was supposed to. I have it set to go into hibernation after an hour, and the car woke up from hibernation this morning meaning the standby didn't crap out. But it looked like RR crashed as I was greeted with a blank desktop and no mouse, but the keyboard was responsive (kind if like if you force close RR). Not sure if there's some connection here or if I'm having some unrelated power issues.

It's a pain to test everything in the car. I should get a spare battery and test everything in the house.

It was working for a few days, now it's crapping out. After going into standby all power to the board is being cut. I'm pretty clueless at this point.
