Opus shuts pc down automatically after 5 minutes?

Nola111 · 04-12-2008, 10:29 AM

I have an Opus 320 PSU, and everything seems to work well so far. However, if I get in the car and the pc resumes from hibernate, but then I don't do anything on the pc for 5 minutes (just showing the desktop, no programs running), the PC will automatically re-hibernate without me telling it to. The Opus manual doesn't say anything about this type of function... there is a delayed shutdown, but that's after ignition off, plus that jumper isn't even on the board so that can't be it. I've also checked my Power Options in Windows and nothing is set to do anything after 5 mins. If audio is occurring through any program, the pc will NOT automatically hibernate like that.

Anyone else experience this?

In the power options, did you check all profiles? Maybe "on battery"? Reason I say that is 5 minutes is a standard for on battery.

If the "on battery" is set to never also, then a suggestion would be to set them to something else, go out, relog, then change them back to never.

Thanks for the replies... I don't have a laptop though. I'm assuming that's the battery you're talking about...

I've never looked to see what a carputer "see's" itself as. And I was too lazy to get up and see what a desktop has......

Yeah a desktop doesn't include the battery options. Thanks anyway.

Just for giggles, I would still change the options.....maybe to 1 hour for all options (especially hibernate), save it, then see if the problem changes. It could narrow the problem down to software/hardware.

How hot is your CPU getting in those 5 minutes? You don't suppose it could be a thermal issue ... ?

What I have found is when a CPU overheats, it's more of a hard reboot, but I guess anything is possible. Bios thermal protections maybe?

Yeah that's a good point. But the only thing is that if there were thermal issues, the pc would shut down no matter what I'm doing. This little magical hibernate issue I'm having only happens when the pc has no input from me for 5 mins. If music is playing though, it won't go into hibernate.

I'm getting ready to hook up my PC and boot it for the first time in the morning.. I'll attempt to re-create this issue as I have the same PSU...

redsyphon · 04-21-2008, 02:05 AM

I failed to reproduce the above results with my PSU... However my system has some power issues of it's own as my blinkers turn on randomly.. both of them at the same time lol!

So it may be that I just have mine wired wrong to begin with... If I manage to get results at some point I'll update.
