Random power off after sleep
Hi all, first post. Well, my computer randomly powers off. This starts happening after my computer puts itself to sleep. This is the third time I've experienced this behavior on a fresh install (using 3 different hard drives so its not the disk). I usually disable sleep but I forgot (yet again). It seems from past experience, that from the first time my pc goes into sleep, the windows install is RUINED. If i can disable sleep right after installing windows (so sleep never runs), windows is fine and has no issues.
Ruined because it's going to power off at random. I dual boot with this PC, so I KNOW it's not a hardware issue. I have installed windows many many times and have only encountered this issue when the system goes into sleep. The second time I encountered this, I had accidentally put it into sleep when selecting reboot. It went to sleep and wouldnt wake up. When I rebooted, it was experiencing this exact issue. This time, it put itself into sleep, i woke it up and it went dead. I have rebooted 3 times and it comes back up fine each time but just randomly crashes. I thought it might be Silverlight but i just had it crash on me without Netflix open. Has anyone experienced this and is there a fix before I reinstall yet again?
