pc refuses to wake after sleep
hi, ive had my pc 3 years now and up untill xmas all was sweet as a nut but then it started to refuse to wake from sleep around 50% of the time..
i use sleep mainly so i can start it from my iphone and play itunes without having to go upstairs and wait for it to boot and as i say up untill xmas all was well
ive done virus checks, spybot and malwarebytes but nothing solves it
i did take the case panel off and noticed the graphic card didnt seem to be working (fan was stationary) and 2 red lights were on
normal boot from cold is fine (if a little slow)
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
ps, this booting from sleep is getting worse all the time and i would guess its around 75% failure right now
if this helps if i put it to sleep and try and awaken straight away its 100% failure, and if i leave it for 24 hours its the same, try and boot after a few hours has a better chance of booting
