Subject: Z370 Extreme 4 hanging/freeze resume from sleep

Just an update on this. I think I have found the cause of the issue.
Along with the on-board video of the MB, I had also installed a Nvidia GeForce GT 1030, but since I wanted to still be able to use the hardware video encoding available on the i7 8700K I left the on-board display adapter enabled in the bios. I also set the on-board as the primary display adapter due to my multi monitor and TV setup (as the PC acts as a HTPC). Since display adapters tend to be a source of many issues on systems, I decided to start messing about with that configuration. What I have found is setting the primary display adapter to PCI-E and not the on-board seems to have resolved my resume from sleep issue. Evidently when the system wakes from sleep the system seems to get confused as to which display adapter to use and "sh*ts the bed" so to speak.
It's been stable for a good few days now, so I'm fairly confident that the issue is resolved (fingers crossed).
