W7 x64 - shuts down when going to sleep
I recently had some help from one of the experts here to fix an issue with windows updates, now resolved however there is a side effect... I had to do a repair install of W7x64 and following this I had to do a bunch of updates again, which seemed normal.
However, now when I sleep the computer the power is lost completely and I can't turn it back on from the keyboard or mouse, only the power button will "wake" the machine.
When I "wake" the machine, the screen stays black, I can hear the fans spinning up but nothing appears on screen. The HDD light on the front of the tower stays off and doesn't blink as well.
Only way to get back into Windows is to hold the power button down to manually kill the power and then turn it back on again. I sometimes have to do this twice.
When eventually getting back to windows I get presented with the 'windows did not shut down correctly' prompt before booting as normal.
Things I've tried so far but not worked:
- new power plan
- hybrid sleep to off
- turned hibernate off, on then off again via command line
- reflashed BIOS
So, little stumped... not sure where to go from here... Any suggestions would be welcome, happy to provide logs if someone can direct me which ones to share.
Also apologies if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to put this.
