Hi guys:

I have recently purchased a 550$ custom pc, it has the latest intel core i5 (4430 i believe)
it has 8gb ram (could be a cheap one but works), i have not yet put a Graphics card so its using the default one. 1tbb Toshiba HDD 75000RPMS
cheap asrock motherboard.
the case looks good. everything fine.
Then I installed a copy of windows 8.1 pro (ratings and comments were good enough)

everything installed fine and i also did a burnintest to see if everything ran ok. It did and passed the test.
But now, I am often getting errors..
BSOTD when I come back after a long period o time.
giving me random errors and often saying that My HDD is disconnected or something, So I check in the boot options and i see no HDD, So the only solution is to disconnect Power AC and turning it on, and everythings boots ok.
First it was some usual error, then CRITICAL_PROCESS_ENDED or something, later it could be worse...
I have not installed antivirus, it also has no internet..sooo.

I tried making my usb ports not to turn it off itself in power options..
it made my pc less often to get BSOTD but it still gets these errors when pc sleeps for a long period of time.. and im afraid i do not know if it is a HW problem or Software...
All drivers of the Motherboard were installed btw.

anyone can help?

You shouldn't skimp on components like your motherboard. It's the very base of a pc. You should be buying a High quality motherboard and ram for that matter. You don't need to spend tons on a fancy case with flashy lights.

EIther PSU doesn't support sleep, motherboard doesn't or buggy software. Either way - don't put your computer to sleep! Either turn it off or leave it on. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to boot anyway so why use sleep? hybernate and sleep functions are still buggy as hell even after all these years

Well, Actually, It is an already made custom pc, I just purchased it... The company is well known for distributing parts, so I have warranty still. About the MB. It is an ASROCK IIH81-15
It seems ok to me.
I use this pc for office work only.

If I turn off sleep or hibernate, then My pc eill be using a lot of power and will begin to waste energy or get hotter. I dont think that is a solution... maybe if i put a screensaver?..mmmm
