Re: ASRock Z97 Extreme6, Sleep Issues, and SMBus Controller
Yes it does work, my Z97 Extreme 6 PC just slept overnight, just like me.
The Intel network chip, when its driver is installed, has similar settings. Are those unchecked too?
I found another thing, a hardware monitoring program (HWiNFO) that I left running, caused the PC to wake immediately. Closed it and the PC stayed asleep. So yet another example of what can wake a PC.
While these things are simple once we figure them out, why do people always blame the board?
It could be said that if someone wants WOL to work, but they can't get the PC to Sleep for WOL to work, then they may have a point. Check the configuration of the network chip first! Or figure out what else is waking the PC.
