I have an EVGA GTX 580 video card, and either Windows or its driver has a bug. When my computer wakes up after sleeping just about any game I play will crash. It doesn’t happen right away, usually I can start a 5v5 dota match and the game will crash in the middle of a draft; if it’s ability draft, usually just as it is my turn to pick abilities(thus forcing me to have randomly selected abilities). No big deal, just go disable sleep, and hibernation for good measure.

What if you happen to be reinstalling windows frequently, but don’t want to manually configure this? Well you’re gonna have to create a batch file to do it. Well there is a hitch in this plan, and that’s the powercfg is designed rather ridiculously. Apparently it uses entirely GUIDs, which are rather long and difficult to memorize (more so than your windows product key). So what’s a person to do?
