You have to enable it from power options in control panel or press shift on standy button.

from devicemanager findout if ur graphics driver is properly supported or not?
from there itself u can update or find out the right graphics driver for ur system.

or visit asus website for finding out correct driver.

it is most probably graphicsdriver problem
