Strange sleep phenomenon with CSM UEFI

[kosakgroove]

Hello friends, in my first laptop in signature I have OS X Mavericks, Windows 7 and Elementary OS booting with Clover in a pure GPT table.

Thing is, this laptop came with Windows 8 and so the only way to get Windows 7 to work with UEFI advantages in this laptop, you must enable CSM and boot the UEFI media, otherwise it gets stuck at Starting Windows, or it fails for BCD reasons.

So I have enabled CSM mode to install Windows 7 and to be able to use it.

My selected option in Boot Media is always my Clover EFI HD, installed in the EFI partition, with the following drivers:

I have discovered that CSM mode breaks my sleep. When it is enabled, and I put the computer to sleep either in Mac OS X , Windows or Linux, the computer sleeps successfully, but when i wake it, it reboots suddenly and directly into Clover EFI GUI.

This happens in the 3 Operating Systems.



When I am in pure UEFI mode , sleep works perfect in Mac OS X and in Linux. But Windows 7 cannot boot with CSM disabled...

I have tried both with CSMVideo Driverx64 and without it, and the result is the same... IDK what I can do.. seriously....

What is there that I can do guys?

Here is my EFI folder, I have deleted key serials in my config.plist for obvious reasons.

Since your problem happens in Windows, seems like a BIOS problem...

(I'm assuming you installed correct drivers for all devices and have a 'clean' Device Manager tree).

Check for a BIOS update.

Yeah, well it also happens with Linux and Mac OS X... And i am in the latest version of BIOS released by ASUS for X550LDV, and I patched the tables extracted from that BIOS version... Anything comes to your mind RehabMan?

BIOS problem. Talk to ASUS.

Unfunnily enough its happening now with CSM disabled after a full new install of win 8 and El Capitan. Instant reboot on wake. Wat can i do to debug this?

Happening in Windows too? What about Win10? Drivers installed correctly?

Strangely it is happening also in win8 and win10..
And yes i have proper drivers from asus for this laptop and for each different version of windows, and this had never happened before..
It is a strange sleep issue on a laptop that never showed any sleep problem.. Any help is deeply apreciated

The strange thing about this whole problem is:
Stage 1 - Windows , Linux and Mac OS X working well with sleep
Stage 2 - When CSM is enabled all systems work well, but they get instant reboot on wake from sleep.
Stage 3 - I figured it might be a CSM problem so I disable it, try out without it, and sleep works well in all systems.
Stage 4 - After updating to Win8 and after to Win10 in hopes of solving the issue, and disabling CSM, booting in pure UEFI, sleep gets instant reboot on wake as well, without the CSM.....

Very strange friends... I dont know anymore.. Maybe some component that burnt on my laptop (strange cause it runs at 32ºC ninety percent of the time) and might be causing sleep issues?

I would never trust an upgrade path Win7...Win8...Win10... Better to do a fresh install of Win10 from the beginning.

And... of course... you always must be certain you installed all the correct drivers...

How could that have affected mac os x as well? Strange, but i will surely try what you say and report back
