See this sticky thread in the BIOS/UEFI forum section > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-update-your-gigabyte-motherboards-bios.131047/
Be sure to note all your BIOS changes before upgrading to the latest BIOS.

Did any one have success with "Sleep" ?

@anavas, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card(s).
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard.

Profiles are mandatory so that others can assist you.

Please let me know if that's ok.
