None of the mobo companies have a good service. The trade off is the quality of the product.
The Extreme 4 is a great motherboard, heaps of features for the price. Its major flaw is the thin pcb used.
Better options might be the asus p8z77m pro or the Asrock fatality professional M.

^ who handles its service? digicare??
Site says digicare, smartlink network systems limited.

is it me or u guys are suggesting ud3h too often ..??
u guys do know it has some issues......

As of now, the UD3H is a good mobo for that price.
I havent heard/read of any wide spread problems as of now. There are always specific isolated cases.

Thats more of a Windows issue than the motherboard!

Go to start and type “services.msc” and hit enter. This launches your services configuration editor. Scroll down to “Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service” and right-click and open “Properties”. In here you can stop the service and change the “Startup Type” to “Disabled”. Click apply and you’re all done.

If you want you can now run “powercfg /requests” again and you’ll no longer see wmpnetwk.exe causing any block on your computer going into sleep mode.

Get in to BIOS.Check if wake on LAN is enabled,if so disable it. Advance Power Management should also be checked out.

Next go to control panel and get in to PowerOptions,check balanced,then click,change plan settings,restore defaults.

If all those dont help Check your USB mouse and keyboards ,their drivers etc tec.

Open command prompt

Type....>powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

Check what devices are keeping it from going to sleep.

Disable the Wake On options of those devices.
