Hello,
Something really strange happens when my computer goes into sleep mode. No amount of mouse movement, or pressing of keyboard keys will awake my PC. I have to hit the reset switch, which would turn everything off momentarily, then proceed to desktop (normally).
This morning however, my PC would be stuck trying to reboot over and over. It wouldn't even make it to the BIOS. After about 8 times of this, I cut off the power to the PSU and waited several minutes. Brought the power back on and PC successfully booted to desktop, right back to where I was as if I just awoke it from sleep. Odd.
A short history, ever since I got this computer, it has been prone to boot failures. It's a known issue where the PC will turn off, and back on once when powering it on for the first time within several hours of it being off. This was a pretty normal thing until after having the PC for about a week, after that it started acting more normally. Don't know if that is related at all to the strange sleep mode issue.
