Hello guys, I have been having some problems with my new PC and recently its been pretty annoying, I have asked before for help and I have been told to disable C6/C7 State which should stop my CPU from going into Idle mode, the problem I'm having is that my PSU is not Skylake compatible and everytime I leave it for a while it just goes into idle mode and I am not able to resume unless I turn the PC off and cut the power off the PSU and boot it up which is not comfortable doing everytime and I don't feel its safe, just wondering what could be the solution, I mean I saw C3/C8 but I did not disable them, should I disable them? When I asked for help I was only told to disable C6/C7 so...
Here's my build : http://pcpartpicker.com/list/MCjJf8
 
It should disable itself automatically on your board as per the manual, most of the newer boards do.

C6/C7 State Support


Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6/C7 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the
CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption.
The C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3.
Auto
lets the BIOS automatically

configure
this setting. (Default: Auto)
 


Hello and thanks for replying, as I have said, I have C6/C7 State disabled and when I leave my PC for a long time and comeback it doesn't boot up unless I turn it off thru holding the power button and then cut the power off the PSU and put it back and boot it up that's the only way that it works ATM, any clue? (I know my PSU is not Skylake compatible but I cant I just disable this feature so it just works normally? I don't care about the C6/C7 or Idle state I just use my computer when its on and when I'm not using it I turn it off..
 


If you mean in the OS then it was "Balanced", I just changed it to "High performance" don't think this would fix my problem?
Plus, any tips on what to do when I am leaving a macro or leaving something to download? I usually set the screen turn off/pc sleep never when I'm leaving a macro playing to do something for me or downloading something and I set my GPU state to ECO and CPU also.. Thru the Gigabyte XTreme application and the other one "EasyTune"
 


So any clues? :/
