computer can't go into sleep mode (crashes if left alone)
I've had my computer for a little bit over a year now and it has worked fine. But now when I select sleep mode, the computer turns off the monitor but the fans are still going, it shows no sign of actually sleeping. Most of the time I can't get back to the login screen because the monitor remains black, so I have to force shutdown. If I leave the computer alone, it will eventually crash, so when I turn it back on it says the computer has recovered from blue screen.
I have read several threads but none managed to solve my problem. Some threads said video cards seem to be the problem but when I disabled my video card, the computer still couldn't sleep.
Sometimes, the computer does manage to go into sleep mode but its completely random.
