My computer (specs below - build log here) has been running Win7 SP1 without problem including waking from standby/sleep.
After one of the two GTX 275s started flaking, I upgraded to two GTX 760 SC cards (EVGA Part Number: 04G-P4-2768-KR). Now the computer won't wake the screens (dual Samsung monitors) from sleep. Event Log confirms the computer wakes. I can type and move the mouse and cause events. It's just that the video cards don't seem to recover from standby/sleep and spin up the monitors.
I'm unsure how to troubleshoot further and would rather just fix the problem. Whether it's a PSU upgrade, EVGA card firmware upgrade (?) or anything else, I'd just like to have my rig recover from standby.
Additional Details
My PSU is the same 2009 Modular Corsair HX1000 from 2009. Each GPU requires a 6-pin and 8-pin and gets this from a single cable from the PSU (2 cables total - one 6+8-pin for each card). I plugged in two additional 8-pin cables to the PSU and ran them to the 8-pin on each video card - hoping the startup power from a dedicated 8-pin for each card would do the trick. No change.
Not sure what else to try and/or to confirm where the problem actually lies (PSU, GPU demand, etc.). I'm pretty computer savvy, but this one's got me stumped.
