Solution digitaldoc Mar 24, 2015 Most likely not. A bad heat sink connection, or faulty thermal paste will manifest as CPU overheating. I would monitor CPU temps via software like HW Info and see objectively if this is the issue before taking the heat sink apart. Monitor going to sleep, and not waking up is more likely a Windows setting issue.
