Hello everyone. I’m trying to figure out a puzzling issue with my PC. It’s still functioning properly overall, but it’s acting oddly. Here’s what’s happening:

- When I let it turn on after being off for a while, it powers itself off and back on without any reason. To keep it in sleep mode, I need to manually cut power.
- In sleep mode, turning it back on causes it to wake up, but the screen stays dark. The CPU indicator stays lit even when there’s no signal.
- When I first start it or wake it from sleep using my usual method, it feels very slow. It takes a few seconds to boot into Windows, and the desktop goes black briefly before it works normally again.

I’m worried about the CPU issue because the LED lights up when there’s no connection, but I’m not sure if that means the processor is the problem. Once those strange steps stop, the PC seems to work fine. Should I consider replacing parts or upgrading my system? Thanks for your help!

I successfully resolved the issue. The unusual behavior disappeared after I let it rest for a couple of times, and it returned to normal when I activated it again. Appreciate the assistance!
