tanzmiester Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 i have recently bought a used AW18 with 780m sli that has a small problem:after a few hours when the machine is shut down, sent to sleep or hibirnated it can not boot up properly:all i see is a black screen, untill the Windows is loaded and the screen starts blinking and i see a teared, flickering and blinking windows password prompt.nothing helpes to resolve it, except hard reset. this happens after an hour or two after the machines has been off, or in sleep mode.otherwise mahcine works flawlesly for many days in a row, unless it has been shut off.maybe someone has an idea what is going on?i have tried Win7, Win8.1, latest machine Bios from Dell and unlocked vBios from Slv7 for both of the cards.thanks!

Steve135 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have had this issue before, for whatever reason a reformat, re install of o/s fixed it. I might have been using a multi license version of win 7 at the time though, I reinstall from the AW disk now.Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schatz Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Are you using an SSD? Because sleep doesn't perform well with SSD's and hybrid speed. Regarding the shutdown issue, maybe Nvidia has an issue on boot. You need to find another nvidia card to test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 the problem was in the motherboard, was replaced by dell and now all is fine, except that the new motherboard have weird colors of backlight... will have to RMA it again it seems.
