I recently installed a new motherboard and processor in my computer; however, I have reason to believe that this is not the cause of my computer's waking issue... The issue started after I updated my computer to Windows 8.1 from 8, something I knew I should have just stayed away from.
Here's what happens: I'll put my PC to sleep, it'll be fine for a while... perfectly quiet and in sleep mode as it should be. Then, at no specific time, it will wake up for a few seconds (LEDs, fans... everything comes on) and then instantly go back to sleep. When I try to wake it with my mouse or keyboard, only the LEDs on my keyboard turn on, my computer stays in sleep mode. It may be hibernating actually, since the only way to bring it out of sleep is to use the power button itself.
Here's the long ass list of everything I can think of that I've tried:
- Disabled EVERYTHING except the power button from being able to wake my computer
- Checked the 'lastwake' command, it said "unknown" for EVERY single time it woke from sleep
- Ran multiple virus scanners, nothing was found in any of them
- Cleaned my PC with AVG, not really for this purpose... but it did nothing to help, regardless
- Got live support from Microsoft, he did a 'syscheck' or scan or something from the cmd interface. It said it repaired several errors but....... obviously it didn't fix the problem if I'm here now.
- Went into my root files and fixed the '1' being a '3' issue... except it was never an issue...
- Checked ALL of my drivers..... several times. Nothing.
So basically I've tried literally EVERYTHING I can find out there where people are experiencing similar issues. PLEASE tell me one of you has a solution for this? I'm very worried that the constant waking from sleep and then instantly going back is detrimental to my PC's health....
HELP!
