No signal to monitor and no power to keyboard and mouse when waking from hibernate?

[Jack_252]

I recently accidentally cut power to an internal hard drive (running windows) while it was on. When I restarted my computer the monitor had no signal and the keyboard and mouse had no power. I used another hard drive with windows to boot my computer with the same outcome. I tried unplugging the bios battery and turning off my computer which didn't work. I then tried unplugging a ram stick and moved the remaining ram stick to the other slot. The bios screen came up and prompted me to use a default bios configuration and reboot.

Everything worked normal now (I could shut down and sleep the computer fine) however when I hibernated the computer and tried waking it up I had the same symptoms as before (no monitor signal, no power to mouse and keyboard). The only way to get the screen back on after hibernation was to move the ram sticks around.

Has anyone faced something similar and found a solution?

Don't know if it's a true solution,but in the advanced energy settings in windows can you set the hdd to never go to sleep,maybe this helps if it isn't already.

I tried unplugging the bios battery and turning off my computer which didn't work.

I hope you did this the other way round? Otherwise is there no point in doing it.

*Problem Solved*

I used my motherboards software to re-flash my BIOS. In my case I have a Gigabyte motherboard and the software is "APP Center", found in the system tray or a start menu search. I already had the latest BIOS but an untainted one was downloaded through the APP Center and re-flashed onto my motherboard. I guess my BIOS was corrupt but semi functional.
