Wake network adapter from deep sleep mode

network-adapter

I recently buyed a new Mainboard (Asrock ALiveXFire) and got some trouble with the network adapter. After switching my Windows 7 x64 in energey saving mode and returning from it, my network adapter couldn't be found.

After some googling I found out, that apparently my network adapter has been put in a deep sleep mode and didn't reactivate. Their solution was to switch the PC off, take out the RAM and the CMOS battery for some time. After that, the adapter should be powered on again, but that didn't happen for me. I waited several hours before turning my PC on again, but that didn't help.

Formatting and reinstalling didn't help either.

The network adapter is not found in the hardware manager and reinstalling the drivers didn't help. I have the newest BIOS installed on the mainboard.

I literally don't know what to try next. I'm thinking of returning my board, but I would like to avoid the hassle.

I solved this problem like this: - Disable Intel SpeedStep (if any) in BIOS

After I did that Windows just installed the driver when I booted the next time.

The crash happens while changing power state to sleep:

0: kd> !poaction
PopAction: fffff802f0f631a0
  State..........: 3 - Set System State
  Updates........: 0 
  Action.........: Sleep

  System State...: Sleeping3
  Hiber Context..: 0000000000000000

Try this version 20.0.0.9 from September 2017.

If this does't fix it, run devcon.exe to disable the Wifi adapter before going to sleep (start scheduled task of devcon with the Windows Power Event trigger for sleep).

If nothing helps, replace the Wifi adapter with a different one.
