No input/output after sleep in Windows 7
Hi everyone,
last night, I decided to sleep my computer instead of shutting it down (I've never had any problems with this feature in previous versions of windows). I went to wake it up this morning and it didn't respond to any mouse movement or the keyboard. I didn't have anything running that was important, so I held down the power button and rebooted; still no display on my monitors. I tried shutting down and unplugging the psu and left it for around 30 mins. Still nothing when I tried to reboot. I can hear the computer running. Hard drives work, fans are on and the gpu is running as well. I've tried resetting the RAM, booting with just one RAM stick and removing the battery for 10 seconds as well but no matter what I try, I can't get any display on the monitor and I can't input anything either. The keyboard and mouse aren't even getting power from the usb ports. My guess is that all the ports on my mobo are "asleep" and will stay that way until I change the wake settings in BIOS. The only problem is, I can't go into BIOS! Does anyone have any ideas? Any insight is much appreciated.
Also, please note that the motherboard and ram were opened about a month ago with no issues at all to date.
