I recently built a new computer based on an AMD A6-5400K and an Asrock FM2A75M Pro4+. It has Windows 7 Home Prem OEM. No video card. It worked the first time I turned it on and has worked ever since. A major problem I'm having is the lack of ability to put the computer to sleep or hibernate.
Win7 does not have a sleep option. The OS says I don't have a video card so it can't put the computer to sleep. If I manually click the hibernate button, the computer will wake itself after about an hour. I'm wary of monitor burn-in and excess power waste.
Is this a typical problem of A-Series AMD CPUs or do I have to install a discreet video card? And will a video card actually resolve this problem?
