Originally my uncle dropped off his tower cause it would display no image and say it was in power saving mode. After inspection I noticed the first two dimms were dislodged, I fixed this, the computer then displayed the proper images and had a post beep.
Now once on the desktop, I assumed it was fixed, and left it alone for a moment while I did something else. The tower which was set to sleep every 10min untouched, did just that. After it went into sleep mode I could not bring it back. Not ctrl alt delete, pressing the power button(which is flashing normal color while in sleep mode) turns it off entirely.
The computer is still running, I hear and see the fans operating. If I turn it off, and reboot, it goes to windows normally. I have set it to never go in sleep mode, but I'd hate if that were the end all solution. Any ideas?
