Hello,

My first problem has been a recurring one for several months now,sometimes,when I awake my computer,it will come on and everything will work fine,but the monitor will stay black as if its still asleep.

I then have to shut down my computer,turn off the power supply and unplug it from the wall for several seconds before plugging it back in and booting it back up,this is a custom built gaming rig only a few months old

Specs
CPU:AMD FX-8350 Black edition
Ram:Corsair vengeance 8gb
GPU:Gigabyte R9-270x 4gb
PSU:Corsair builder series 750watt

And my second problem is when ever I unplug my computer from the outlet as I stated above,and then turn it back on,its defaults the time and date to 2008,this is annoying and I would like a fix,and I was wondering if this could mean that the CMOS battery(I thnk its the correct spelling) is to fault,or is it the GPU?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
