Ok, I built my PC. It is around a good 6 years old or so. ASUS ROG III MOBO, G.SKILL 12GB RAM. It runs a bit overclocked due to the XMP at 3.4 GHz and the RAM runs at 2000. It has been working wonderfully until now, never any issues. So a couple of days ago I noticed that my mouse froze and the lights on my keyboard went off. I hard-reset my PC and it came back up, everything fine so I did not think much of it. I put it into sleep and when I woke it up, it immediately shut down. As in "click" and then zero, completely off. Then, 3 seconds later, "click" again, and computer starts running and booting, then "click" and completely off again, then "click" and rebooting again. !? The third time it rebooted with the fans profile on normal instead of silent, creating a lot of noise, and when it got to the BIOS interface it gave me the "Overclock failed!" error. I have seen it before, not big deal, so after another reset, I went into the settings and changed the fan profiles back to silent and noticed that it had reset the CPU and RAM speeds out of the XMP mode. I put it back into XMP and back it went to 3.4 GHz and 2000 RAM, I hit save changes and exit and "click", off, reboot, "click", off, reboot, "click", off, reboot, and then it finally loaded normally. I tried putting it back on sleep, it goes fine on sleep, but when I dare to wake it up again..."CLICK" !!! OMG.
Any ideas of what might be happening here? Again, running perfectly for over 6 years now. Any suggestions? It is driving me nuts that I cannot place my computer on sleep as it will end up shutting down multiple times. Thank you for your help!
