    My Computer Shuts Down Instead of Sleeping (and does other weird things)

    So my custom built computer has been acting weird this week. If I leave the computer alone for ten minutes, the display turns off (which is normal), but then the screen turns back on. When I try to use it it won't play YouTube Videos or any media files. I try to play a song on my computer...
