Knowing that I'd venture iIt was most likely the +5VSB was lower than it should be.

Anyway, good to hear you have it sorted and running.

Actually after putting in the 530W PSU I figured out that it was not the PSU. Shocked

What makes the difference between working and not working S3 is connecting the S-ATA power connector of the USB 3.1 front panel that comes with the "+" version of the "Z170 Extreme 4". Even if nothing is connected to either of the 2 provided USB ports.

So even with the 400W PSU if this S-ATA power connector is not plugged in STR works. Plug it in and it breaks. Same thing is happening with the 530W. I just didn't notice this before because I only pugged in the essential devices and no the front panel S-ATA power when testing with the 530W. But once I plugged it in the 530W PSU also goes into this stupid endless loop breaking STR.
There is ONE way however to make it all work with the 530W only tho:  I have to connect the USB 3.1 front panel S-ATA to its own cord coming from the PSU. I can't connect anything else to the same cord or it will break again. This workaround only works with the 530W but not with the 400W PSU.

IMHO this is very strange considering that there is no USB device connected to that front panel.
