Sleep

660Ti Sleep issues.

I cannot seem to be able to get sleep to work. It will go to sleep fine, but will wake up to a black screen. I can adjust the volume from there, so I know it is in fact waking up. It was working fine under 10.8.2, but the update to 10.8.3 seems to have broken it. I am using darkwake=8. Specs are Z77-DS3H, i5-3570K, PNY 660Ti, and 16Gb RAM.

I had the same issue after updating to 10.8.3. I downloaded Kextbeast and this sleep kext:

https://code.google.com/p/xnu-sleep-enabler/downloads/detail?name=SleepEnabler.kext.10.7.x-10.8.zip

after installing, sleep function resumed normally. fyi...place the sleep enabler extension on your desktop before using Kextbeast.

What's wrong with Sleep Enabler? Known problems?

 

[samisnake]

no, its just that its unnecessary for their boards. so rather than using sleep enabler, it would be better to find the root cause of the reason they cant sleep, instead of turning to additional kexts

Ah, fair enough.

I've used Sleep Enabler for my Sabertooth x79 board, as I wasn't able to find any other workable solutions.

I have the same problem, z77-ds3h. Since 10.8.3, both auto-sleep and manual sleep are broken. Attempting them gives a black screen, with the CPU fan still running, and I have to hard reset the computer in order to be able to do anything again. Any ideas?

Hi, have you disabled VT-d in your bios? Also have you installed NullCPUPowermanagement.kext as this will not work with your mobo, in fact you don't need any kexts for sleeping as the DS3H can run a nearly vanilla install except for SATA.

Another issue that causes sleep problems is ECHI being set to Enabled or Auto, I found setting it to Disabled helped solve a few issues.

BIOS settings are:
optimized defaults settings
xHCI = Auto
xHCI Hand off = Enabled
EHCI Hand-off = Disabled
