Hello,
I have a HP desktop PC. Sometimes it does not boot up when I hit Power Button but instead gives more than usual noise of fans, HDD LED does not blink, No video to Monitor, Monitor goes to sleep.
Sometimes when I hit power button, normal sound of fans, HDD LED blinks and it boots up as normal and I could work whole day on this but if I put it in sleep mode, in fear that if switched off it may not boot up again, it some times do not wake up from sleep mode either when I hit keys on kbd or shake mouse where as sometimes it wakes up as normal.
Any idea what is causing this intermittent behavior?
