Issues with Windows 7's sleep settings
Issues with Windows 7's sleep settings
Hey, when the machine powers down, all the fans start spinning. Just the screen turns black, and I can’t get it to boot again, so I have to restart the PC.
It could be an unusual inquiry, but does your PSU have a ground connection? If you reside in Lithuania, you should possess one. It's the metal pin on the power cord; if it doesn't function properly, that might be the problem. If you sense electricity when touching the PSU while it's on, it's likely missing. Please repair it—this situation is quite hazardous.
Yes, desktop. I didn’t mention it. It’s unclear what type of metal pin it is, but the electricity isn’t passing through the PSU—it works when you touch it. It seems like you might have found it.
It’s not a good idea to use sleep mode—just turning off the monitor is enough when you won’t be using the computer for a while, such as during sleep. It should definitely be off.
It's hard to maintain consistently. You often decide to check later, only returning after a short wait—sometimes until 3 AM when nobody's there. Working sleep mode isn't necessarily a bad idea.
This seems like a BIOS issue. Typically, sleep mode problems stem from driver conflicts with hardware, so the first step is to check the BIOS and revert it to default settings. If that doesn’t help, adjust the boot sequence or remove all custom drivers before restarting and reinstalling the latest ones from trusted sources. Often station drivers are available on websites and may contain beta versions, which can introduce unexpected issues. Also, review admin logs for any errors that might explain the problem.
