I have a asus max.iv mobo bios v-1303.Does anyone know how to stop
computer from shutting down when not in use.I have windows 7 and have
sleep and hibernate modes off,when i watch tv for a while the computer
goes to sleep or sometimes shuts down.Sleep i can wake it up but i don't like
being shut down also i am not oc much running at 3.9 ghz.Maybe i need to
update to another bios ver. but then again which one.

Disable c states?

uncle bob · Oct 2, 2011

would you please explain what disable "c" state is and i take it that this is a bios option
for this mobo.

EarthDog · Oct 3, 2011

That is a bios option you need to disable...its a power saving feature.

Thanks Earthdog

Found the bios fix,thanks again

I thought i had the fix concerning my computer shutting down when not in use for awhile.
Hard drive and monitor are set to never shut off.However today i got an AA code on mobo
which is system transitioned into acpi mode.I have to reboot to get going again even if i
push the reset button it just reboots.Can i disable acpi mode and if i can what are the repercussions.One last thing does anyone know where in bios this setting may be.I am
running a asus max.extreme iv mobo

You can't disable ACPI once the OS is installed, you'll get an error when it boots up if you try it.

I would go to power options in control panel, then select the high performance or maximum performance option. That may be all that is required. I haven't heard of other people with the Asus MIVE having these issues.

Just out of curiosity - what power supply are you using?

uncle bob · Oct 4, 2011

IMOG,Ifound where advanced power settings are in win7 and set to your suggestion,i
will let you know later if this worked,thanks.
