Sleep mode problem

Hi! Graemzy, welcome to 7F :)

It would help if you filled out your system specs so everyone will know what we are dealing with.

Please go here, and read the rules, and then go to post #4 by Zidane24 to learn how to fill out your SystemSpecs.

In general terms, Windows still, to this day has problems with some PC configurations, and hibernation.

Go back into Power Management and check to see if yours is checked to go on.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options, then in the left pane click on "Change when the Computer sleeps"

Then like in the pix below click at #1, and the box to the left will open.
Scroll down to sleep, and click on the + to open sleep. It shows in #2 how I have my settings. to change any settings click on the blue words and a change box will open to allow you to make adjustments.

When done go to #3 to save Changes then OK your way out.

nothing will wake it up

• Open the Control Panel.

• Click on the Device Manager icon.

• Click on Continue in the UAC prompt.

• Open the device's list that you want to change. Check the ones I have boxed.

• Right click on the device name and click on Properties.

• Click on the Power Management tab.

• Check Allow this device to wake the computer.

• For the Network Adapters there may be three settings I have all three checked.

Sleep is easier to say than "Standby", and Hibernate should be called "Deep, Deep Sleep".

Like sleep, hibernation is a power-saving state. But while sleep typically saves your settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation saves your open documents and programs to your hard disk and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power.

As for your System Specs you can follow post #4 by Zidane24, and type in msinfo32.exe or you can use either of these free programs Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit or Speccy - System Information - Free Download they will offer much more information.

I have been thinking about how you stated your problem, and I'm beginning to think you might have a memory or video card problem.

Try this for the Memtest:
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

For the Video card:
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Something else, do you hear more the one beep when you start, re-start your machine?

Best I can tell you may have a Phoenix Bios in your Acer, Acer doesn't tell you much at their site:
Acer Support - Drivers & Support Documents

Go here to interpret the beep start-up codes (POST):
PC Hell: BIOS Error Beep Codes
When you get there click on Phoenix at the top, and it'll take you right to the Phoenix codes.
