EDIT: I no longer have the black screen problem, only the unresponsive keyboard.

Hi,

I'm using a brand new Asus Z170 pro gaming Wifi, i7 6700K and NVIDIA GTX 1080 with iMac 17,1 definition. I use it with an LG 4K monitor over Displayport.
I can sleep no problem but on wake I see a backlit black screen with a cursor. Keyboard and mouse are unresponsive.
If I change to darkwake=0 I can get picture on the monitor but still keyboard and mouse don't work. If I leave it long enough the computer will eventually reboot.
I DON'T have this problem with my HD monitor over HDMI, and indeed someone told me it is a 4K incompatibility with SMBIOS 17,1.
Does anyone have any idea what I could try?

Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks
