Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

I think it did, I'll look around and if I can't find it then $12 is not unreasonable. I'm looking into the event viewer again, and while I can see each instance where the crash occurs I can't find anything that looks like it would have caused it. One event is listed as such: Log Name: Application So...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

So I'm back. PC was fine for a while, but now what it does is basically go into blue screen every other time it enters sleep mode. I wake it up, and it hits blue screen. So if I need to reinstall the OS (which I would rather not do, but if I have to then I will) I have one concern. This is a refurbi...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

Temperatures are fine. I have a USB keyboard and mouse connected but that's about it. Actually it has been a few days since my screen has done the blackout thing. Something along the line here (probably a few somethings) has had an effect. What I'll do is bookmark this topic in case it happens again...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

I let this run for a while today, and it got through 6 tests that all came back fine before I had to reboot the computer (because five hours had passed and I needed it for homework). When it restarted, I soon encountered another blue screen but now the PC is working fine. I'll need to keep paying at...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

I'm going to run it very soon, I just need to burn it to a CD or figure out how to run that program without one.

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

Very brief update. After performing all the 'optional' driver updates suggested by the system, the PC is still having the sleep problem (though less frequently, I think). Malwarebytes got rid of one tracking cookie and that was all it found. Also the event viewer doesn't show anything obvious, or ev...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

Running malwarebytes now. I'm looking into the event viewer for any problems, and there are a lot of things that might be the cause and a lot that might not. While I am trying to learn through assistance every time my computer has a problem, this is an area where I'm still very uninformed. I'll list...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

Ludi: I believe that I am, but I will double check. However, I will not be able to send my PC away for any length of time if they want to fix it because I am working on a large number of time sensitive school projects. Every time I restart the PC the problem goes away for a while. I'll pay attention...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

just brew it!: I'll try doing that. I just need to pull of the specs of my hardware (I guess) and google the manufacturer? Ludi: Just turned all of those off, and the PC still does it. The test I'm using involves winamp again. Basically pressing play, pause, stop, or any of the controlling buttons i...

Re: PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

So I started a full system scan earlier today but it turns out it never finished. This is because as soon as I left home today, my PC resumed sleep mode. It also tried to re-enter sleep mode three times when I got home. Like the screen wakes up, then instantly dims to black three times in a row. I a...

PC immediately resumes sleep mode after being woken up

Hi there, I'm having a weird problem where my PC goes right back into sleep mode after I wake it up. What happens is that after I wake it up from full on sleep mode (inactivity for a while, requires more than wiggling the mouse to wake it up), it acts normal for a second (mouse responds, monitor wor...
