Hi all,
I built a desktop computer over the summer (first time doing anything like it), and although I've been loving it so far I have noticed one irritating issue. Not knowing much about computers I don't know if a) I can fix it and b) I should be worried. I will try my best to describe it here, any help/input is GREATLY appreciated.
Basically, my computer doesn't seem to like going to sleep. It takes a while to go into sleep mode (10-20 seconds), and tends to wake itself up after a while. In addition, it gives me trouble if I interrupt it while it is going to sleep. (Eg by clicking the mouse- I've done this by accident after hitting the "sleep" button, and I think I caught it earlier while it was going to sleep automatically.)
If I interrupt things while the computer is going to sleep, it seems to get caught half-way; the fans continue running, but there is nothing on the display. If I shut it down with the power button on the case and then turn it back on same issue- the fans come on but I get nothing on the display. What I have to do every time is shut it down and turn off power in the back. After doing this
it boots up properly again, albeit a bit sluggishly.
So there it is; if any additionally information would help I will try my best to provide it. I would be extremely grateful for any help- other than this the computer is running fine, but this one issue is causing me a fair bit of stress.
Thanks very much,
Sam.
