S3 Sleep Mode Issue W2600CR2





Hi,

This is my first post on intel, and was not really sure if motherboard W2600CR2 question would fit here.

I installed Win8 (and also Win7) on W2600CR2 board with two E5-2660. I updated the board to latest firmware.

There are a couple of issues:

1. After the firmware update, the ram speed is now only 1333MHz. Earlier to update it was 1600MHz.

**2. S3 sleep cycle is not working. After sleep, a wake up (keyboard press/mouse movement), wakes the board but results in three long beeps and no display. Fans run fast. The documentation of W2600CR2 clearly says S3 is supported, but I am not sure where to enable it, or if there is an issue.**

Cheers!
Strangely, the problem is seems to be solved now.

I reorganized the ram (4 x 8gb) and the three beeps are gone. The system wakes up from s3 sleep normally.

there is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.

hence we are closing this topic. if need further support, please open a new one.

thanks

what’s the frame rate? have you try boost the system to performance mode to try? [@EmaNet](profile/3398117) hi!  
From the error message, it seems that the VRP software in the flash has been lost. I think you should download the firmware and upload it to the flash manually.  
You can download the firmware from here: [https://support.huawei.com/enter ... id-6691602/software](https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/switches/s2700-pid-6691602/software).  
  
You can upload the VRP software into the device via BootROM, please refer to: [http://support.huawei.com/hedex/ ... Startup&lang=en](http://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1000017232&id=dc_cfg_cfgm_0001&text=Configuring%2520System%2520Startup&lang=en). sometimes one or both of these patches help, especially if the system is showing high ram and/or cpu usage when checking updates:

﻿ thank you for taking interest in my post.

i have solved the problem.it was mistake from my own part.

i have disabled some of the hardware detection services before the update.

i have disabled the "device install service" on the windows service

renabling it and rebooting it solved the … solved...
my ram was in ram slot 1 & 3.
switched it to 2&4 - now i can overclock to 4000mhz.


here's the benchmark now


same man... i'm still looking as well lol. i wonder why so many people are having this problem. OK, Problem fixed. If anyone else comes across this problem: I was able to install the new driver by using Intel's EXE version rather than the zip version and disconnecting from the inet. Everything went fine. thanks for the support! <3 you guys are really great, so many offers of help these last few days!

unfortunately we aren’t quite there yet. :frowning: this issue is a root problem with the trifecta of the processor, engine and windows. we have fixed the issue with the game freezing during the cabin… It could be a problem with static discharge , if so do the following.


1. Disconect the power cord


2. Remove the battery


3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds , then release for 30 sec and then hold down for another 30sec


4. Plug in power ,replace battery and power on laptop.


If this causes no Joy try this.


Remove memory and reinstall one stick at a time, if there are more than 1 dimm of ram, try each stick in each slot one at a time to see if the memory is ok and to determine if one of the memory slots is bad.


Hope this helps have added psu to above post. (i added specs because i knew someone would ask. however i think it's a software issue.)

unlikely that it's the psu.

the current psu is a hx750i, and the previous psu was a hx650i. swapped over a year ago at least. this is a recent issue.


good, a lot of times this is the psu. but with an excellent unit, that's far less likely.

were you monitoring temperatures at the time? was there something specific you were doing similar in both times? really intermittent things can be hard to nail down. there is no need for a program to do that. 

here are some simple steps which you can follow:

1.right click on your taskbar and choose start task manager.

2.once task manager is opened go to "processes" tab. 

3.when at the processes tab search for .exe file. (maybe in your case it will look like loop.exe or something) 

4.once you have found it. just right-click on it and hover over to "set priority" option. 

5.here are several options. the default one will be "normal" so just set that to "below normal" or "low". (i would prefer setting it to "below normal" so that it does not act strangely) 

6.it's done now restart your program and check the amount of ram it is using.

i hope this helps you. if not leave a reply and i will figure out another solution. glad to help.:)
