His best bet is to take off the Sleep mode in advanced power saver settings and take off turning monitor off put them both on NEVER shut down
I think not just you even me suffered from this the best way i find for it to stop the BS is to take those features off
You really don't need to put the pc to sleep it really isn't saving that much power
You can just put a Screen saver up it'll work the same that is pretty much your defenent solution
That's what I think I'm going to do. There must be some conflict between some piece of hardware or some part I have is bad/going bad.
When it happened I checked event viewer and it only had an error from me shutting the computer off by holding the power button.
Like I said earlier, BIOS is set to S1 and defaults are set for power options (Balanced). I'll keep an eye on it.
I had to reinstall Windows, tried to install Ubuntu (dual boot), didn't go well. I tried to do a repair but that went nowhere.

So far, so good. There must be a conflict between Sleep S3 and some part of my computer (software/hardware, I'm not sure).
I wanted to use S3 because it uses less power (or at least, that's what I've read). Guess I'll just shut it down when I'll be away from it for an extended length of time.
You can take help for this a technically sound person and update good antivirus in your system.It will be useful.
Hello and welcome john sorry mate but didn't get the gist of your reply and am assuming you mean to a tech shop if so you have basically a tech shop online here with all the members.
As for an AV well thats a matter of personal choice I cannot see why anyone should want to take a dealers advice on an AV as they will sell you just any old junk app. In my mind this is something that needs research in the first instance as I would not just go with whatever was offered to me. .
A tech shop? I'm my own tech shop
