Hi there @forestation!
Can you share your display specs and the IFWI version of your A380? can be found in system info (VBios)

Thanks for response.
Display is 3440 x 1440 x 59Hz vBIOS version is 20.0.1064
Also, something else weird started happening at the same time about 2 weeks ago:
I use MPC-BE as my video player, and starting 2 weeks ago, there's a ~1 second lag when I open or close any video, but again, only on Displayport. (No issue with HDMI.) During that second my screen goes black and there is no sound. Perhaps that is entirely unrelated, but I wanted to point it out. Fwiw I found this discussion on line which is over my head, but perhaps you might find it useful: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/43#issuecomment-1014110898
Hey @forestation I did some quick tests in my machine: It is waking from sleep without any issue, I made sure to plug a Display Port to a regular HD Samsung Monitor I also did a test with an Ultra Wide G8 Odyssey Display Port and no issues so far waking it up. I'm using a Ryzen 5 Machine, Windows 10, A380 AsRock and the latest driver v.4953, could you test it and give it a go? Remember to use DDU for the upgrade! The main difference I see is the OS.
About the other issue you mention, please test it with latest driver and if it is consistent, open a new thread please
Karen
I've updated to v.4953 of the Intel graphics driver; no change. As for the OS, I've been on Windows 11 for about 4 months, and the problem only surfaced a few weeks ago.
Here's a summary of the tests I've done:
Is there a way to capture a log of what's going on when the system wakes from sleep?
The only reason I mentioned the other issue is because it started happening at the same time and some of the discussion online about it seems to vaguely relate to my Displayport problem. For example: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/43#issuecomment-1016078283 But you can ignore if it's not helpful.
Hey @forestation hmm gotcha. I'm still unable to repro any of those scenarios :(
About your question, yes there is a way. You can start by downloading the WAKD from Microsoft and running a Standby test You may need to leave your computer for an hour at least in idle state.
Also, can you share your Display specs? We have seen some specific issues with specific displays and would be worthy to ask around if we have any.
Thanks
Karen
I'm not sure what you mean by display specs. I have an LG 34UM88C-P monitor, at 3440 x 1440 x 59.97 Hz
I've downloaded WAKD and can run it if you think it might be helpful. Why do I need to leave the pc in idle state for an hour? The problem happens regardless of how long the pc has been awake or asleep.
1 hour: instructions on the Standby test in Microsoft, as part of the reply for your question
Those pages seem to be targeted towards developers, so most of it is over my head.
The link you sent me says it's for Win 10. Should i use this instead since I'm on Win 11? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install
Yes you can run it on Win 11, I have done a few tests myself on my Win11 But no issues, there's no need for you to do so, it can be kinda tricky if you're not familiar with it, at least now you know there's a way to know what the computer is doing in sleeping states. We can stick to try to repro with similar hw and see if we can reproduce the same behavior :)
Keep you posted!
Karen
How can we move forward with this issue?
To get around the Displayport issue I've switched my connection to HDMI, but now I'm getting a new problem. From time to time, and without warning, my display will suddenly "shift" to the right by about 0.5 in, and and then shift back to the normal.
I've attached two files, the first is a video that shows the display shifting back to normal. (I didn't have the camera ready when the original shift occurred.) The second is a pic where you can see the artifacts on the shifted screen.
Is it possible that I just have a bad video card?
So here's something odd:
I just updated my BIOS to the latest version from ASRock. After the system booted into Windows, I noticed that the Displayport wake problem had gone away.
At this point I rebooted into BIOS and loaded the AMD EXPO profile for my DRAM. (The BIOS update had reset all settings to default, including the DRAM settings.) This time after I booted into Windows, the Displayport problem came back.
I then went back into BIOS and reset the DRAM profile back to Auto, but this did not fix the Displayport wake problem.
Hey @forestation we have created an internal report for this issue (Display port off signal when waking from sleep) This is the internal number, fyi: 14020658146 If we get any update will let you know :)
Now for the other issue, please open a new thread with instructions on how to repro.
Thank you
Karen
I mentioned the other issues because I suspect they might be related to the Displayport wake problem and wanted to give as much related info as possible.
The screen shift and display artifacts first started appearing months ago when the system wakes from sleep. It doesn't happen every time the system wakes though, so it's not strictly reproducible. A few days ago it started happening even when the system isn't waking from sleep.
I found out something interesting about the issue today.
Since the card has 3 Displayport outputs, I tested to see if the problem persists with all 3. The answer is yes. No matter which of the 3 ports I used, my display would not resume on that port when the system wakes up from sleep.
However, if at that point I switch my connection to one of the other 2 ports, then the display would be fine. It's only the port that went to sleep that wouldn't wake -- the other 2 ports would be ok. This was true no matter which of the 3 ports I initially connected to.
This seems to suggest there's a software/driver issue with how Displayport is being put asleep or woken up.
Can I have the issue escalated to an engineer?

Hey @forestation this issue has been escalated already to our dev team with the internal report I provided before Which means, we're already working on this.
Karen
Does creating an internal report mean someone will investigate this issue?
I'm only concerned with the Displayport sleep/wake issue right now. I brought up the other stuff just in case it would be useful.

Yes that is exactly what that means, we proceed to escalate and share the internal number when there's an investigation ongoing + add more details like the ones you just shared
Karen
Ok thanks. I couldn't really tell whether anyone is actively looking into this, given that there was no response for 2 weeks.
Hi @forestation can you please install driver 32.0.101.6130 and report back?
I gave up and switched to Nvidia a few weeks ago. The problems instantly vanished.
In the interim I even RMA'ed the A380 card back to ASRock, but the replacement card exhibited similar (though not identical) problems. Like the first card it worked fine for a couple months. But then it started resetting my monitor to 480p (safe settings?) everytime it woke from sleep.
If you believe you've identified the issue and the solution, I can reinstall the A380 card and test it on my system when I have a minute.
Since the replacement card did not exhibit the issue of no signal after waking from sleep I will mark this one as closed.
I still invite you to test the A380 with our latest drivers since there have been plenty of fixes introduced since then. If possible verify if the issue with the video mode being reset still occurs, and if it does please create a new bug report since it is a different issue.
Best Regards,
I appreciate you following up after 10 months, and I understand you have an SOP for dealing with customer issues, but treating the two A380 cards as having different problems when the issues are clearly related (and likely arise from the same underlying cause) just adds to my frustration with the Intel Arc experience.
As for driver updates, I was diligently installing them up until I gave up on the card 2 months ago, so that's why I was asking whether there was something specific in the latest release that addresses this issue.

Description and steps to reproduce [Required]
Starting about 2 weeks ago, I get no Displayport signal from my A380 card when my system wakes up from sleep. I have always used Displayport to connect my monitor to my PC, and as far as I know I had made no changes to the display drivers, Windows, or BIOS immediately prior to this issue surfacing 2 weeks ago.
I keep emphasizing Displayport because the issue does not occur if I'm connected via HDMI. With HDMI I get a normal display when the system wakes up from sleep. In fact, I've found that when I'm connected via Displayport and fail to get a Displayport signal when waking from sleep, I can switch the connection to HDMI at that point and the display will work fine. So it's not the entire A380 card that can't be awakened, only the Displayport output.
One other test I did was to connect my monitor via Displayport directly to my Ryzen 7900 iGPU. When I did that there was no issue when waking from sleep, which I think eliminates the monitor or cable as the source of the problem.
